If you do not lock the drive shaft auto-lok collar
in the released position (step 12), it will be
necessary to compress and hold the collar
rearward when connecting the shaft (step 13).

of the tractor (See Figure 17). The auto-lok collar
of the drive shaft should snap into the locked

the PTO shaft.

B. REMOVAL OF DECK
Place the tractor and mower deck on a firm and level
surface with enough room to slide the deck out from the
left side of the tractor.
WARNING
Before removing the mower deck, place the
PTO switch in the “OFF” position, engage the
parking brake lever, and turn ignition key to the
“OFF” position. Always stop the engine after
utilizing the tractor hydraulic lift system. When
handling the deck, be careful not to cut yourself
on the sharp blades.
1. Support the deck drive shaft to prevent it from
dropping; then pull the auto-lok collar rearward
and slide the drive shaft off of the PTO shaft (See
Figure 16 and Figure 17).
2. Using the tractor hydraulic lift system, lift the
mower deck so that the caster wheels are off the
ground. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the internal cotter pins, flat washers, and
adjustment clevis pins to adjust the front caster
wheel arms to their highest setting (lowest deck
setting) in the height adjustment brackets of the
deck (See Figure 6).
4. Adjust the rear deck rollers to their highest setting
(lowest deck setting) as follows:
a. From the left/rear of the deck, pull the adjust-
ment knob rearward to disengage the detent
pin of the knob from the hole in the detent hub
(See Figure 7). Hold the knob rearward.
b. Turn the knob clockwise until the shoulder bolt
in the roller pivot link is at the top of the slot in
the roller guide bracket (See Figure 7).
c. Release the knob and turn as necessary to align
the detent pin with the nearest hole in the hub.
5. Use the tractor lift system to lower the deck to the
ground. NOTE: If removing the deck from a
tractor with the deck downstop feature, make
certain the downstop is in the lowered position
(Refer to Section 1 step B-1).
6. Pull outward and cock the deck support pins in
the deck hanger brackets so that both spring-
loaded pins are held in the disengaged position
against the inner surface of the deck brackets
(See Figure 9).
7. Lock the left lift link in its deck installation/removal
position as follows:
a. Holding the left lift rod downward, lift upward
on the release tab of the lift stop bracket while
raising the rearward end of the lift link to align
the notch of the rod with the slot of the link
(See Figures 4A and 4B).
b. Swing the lift rod forward until fully to the front
of the lift link slot (See Figures 4C and 4D).
8. Use the hydraulic lift to fully raise the LH and RH
lift links (See Figure 5). Stop the engine.
9. Roll the deck forward to disengage the front lift
rod from the slots of the front roller bracket (See
Figure 13). Hold the front lift rod upward and slide
the deck rearward until the lift rod rests on top of
the roller bracket.
10. From the front of the tractor, pull the center of the
quick latch rod downward to release the front lift
bracket/rod assembly. Slide the front lift bracket
assembly from the latch receiver slots of the
tractor (See Figure 12).
11. From the left side of the tractor, slide the mower
deck out from under the tractor.
