5. Use the deck lift pedal and
deck lift knob to place the
deck in the lowest position
and use the multi-tool to lock
the deck lift components in
place. There are a pair of
alignment holes by the rear
wheel on the left side of the
tractor (one on the frame and
one on the deck lift arm) as
shown in Figure 47. Ensure
tool is fully inserted properly,
locking the deck lift arm in
place to the frame.
6. Remove the two bow-tie
pins from the deck rods that
secure the front center lift link
brackets on the frame to the
front-center lift brackets on
the deck and pull the front end
of the rods out of place. See
Figure 48.
7. Remove the deck stabilizer bar at the rear of the deck:
a. Remove the
bow-tie cotter
pin on the right
side of the bar
connecting
the bar with
the bracket on
the deck. See
Figure 49.
b. Remove the bow-
tie cotter pin on the
left side of the bar,
connecting the bar
with the bracket
on the frame. See
Figure 50.
8. Remove the bow-tie pin
from the bottom clevis end
of each deck height adjust rod. There is one at the front and one at the rear
on each side of the deck. See Figure 51 (left side shown).

Deck Installation
Install the deck on the tractor as follows:
1. Carefully manuever the deck under the tractor from the right side, lining
up the deck hanger rods and the deck lift rods on the tractor removed in
the previous section with appropriate bracket connections on the top of
the deck.
2. Once the deck is under the tractor, move the deck to the lowest
mowing position.
NOTE: To line the brackets up properly, it may be necessary to place a small
block of wood under each side of the deck.
3. Re-install the applicable hardware for your tractor, in reverse order of the
removal process:
a. Install the hanger rod clevis ends of the deck height adjust rods
removed in Step 8 of Deck Removal and secure with the bow-tie pins
previously removed.
b. Reinstall the deck stabilizer rod, at the rear of the deck, onto the
frame at the left side, and onto the deck on the right side, with the
bow-tie pins previously removed.
c. Reinstall the front hanger rods into the front center brackets on the
deck and secure with the bow-tie pins previously removed.
4. Make certain the "V" belt is in the spindle pulleys on the deck.
5. Make certain that the backside of the belt is against both the fixed and
movable idler pulleys. Reinstall or tighten any idler pulley hardware
previously removed or loosened for deck removal.
6. Route the belt rearward beneath the tractor frame, above the rear deck
stabilizer bar, above the transmission tube(s), to the PTO pulley on the
bottom of the engine.
7. Raise the deck to the position that provides the most horizontal run of the belt
between the deck idler pulleys and the PTO pulley on the bottom of the engine.
8. Sitting behind the tractor, facing forward, make certain the belt is not
twisted; then reach beneath the tractor to grasp the belt and pull it toward
the PTO pulley.
Use caution to avoid pinching your fingers when rolling the belt onto the
PTO pulley.
9. Pull the right side of the PTO belt
rearward and place the narrow V-side
of the PTO belt into the PTO pulley.
See Figure 52.
10. While holding the PTO belt and PTO
pulley together, rotate the PTO pulley
to the left (see Figure 46). Continue
holding and rotating the PTO pulley
and PTO belt until the PTO belt is fully
rolled into the PTO pulley.
NOTE: Before using the tractor
double-check the belt routing to
make sure that the belt has been
routed properly.
11. Check deck level and pitch. Adjust
if necessary.
