6. Refer to Figure 30 to ensure the correct orientation
of the front lift rod/bracket assembly [the form
(bend) in sides of rod point downward]. From the
front of the tractor, push downward and hold the
tractor quick-attach rod. Slide the shoulder bolts
on each side of the front lift rod/bracket assembly
fully into the left and right tractor latch receivers.
Release the tractor quick-attach rod to capture
the front lift rod/bracket assembly in the tractor
latch receivers

7. While holding the front lift rod up, slide the mower
deck forward until the rod aligns with both front
roller bracket slots. Lower the lift rod into the front
roller bracket slots and slide the deck rearward to
engage the lift rod fully forward in the slots of the
deck front roller bracket (See Figure 31).

8. If not already done, pull the deck support pins
outward, turn downward and release so both
spring-loaded pins are held in the disengaged
position against the outer surface of the deck
brackets (See Figure 32).

9. Carefully guide the tractor implement lift links (left
and right) into the rear deck bracket slots (left and
right) as the tractor implement lift handle is
lowered to its lowest setting (Refer to Figure 33).
10. Pull both deck support pins outward and rotate
rearward to disengage the outer surface of the
rear deck brackets. Release the pins, making
certain each deck support pin passes through the
inner hole of the rear deck bracket. The spring
tension will push the pins inward and, if aligned,
through the hole in each implement lift link (Refer
to Figure 33).
NOTE: It may be necessary to lift each side of the deck
and maneuver it slightly to align the support pins with
the holes of the lift links. Make certain the support pins
are fully extended through the lift links to prevent the
mower deck from disengaging the lift links while
mowing.

WARNING: The deck idler arm lever is
spring loaded. Release it slowly.
