Deck lift actuator (electric lift)
To remove/replace the lift shaft:
1. Remove the deck by following the steps described
at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Disconnect the lift actuator harness.
See Figure 8.46.
3. Insert the end of a piece of string or light rope, at
least 3’ (1 M) long in between the two wire in the
electric lift harness connector.
NOTE: The string is going to be used to fish the
actuator harness back up through the dash.
4. Loop the string over the connector and tie a figure
eight knot so that the knot sits between the two legs
of the connector. See Figure 8.47.
5. Lift and safely support the tractor.
6. Pull the lift actuator harness out of the frame rail
from underneath the tractor, but leaving the string in
place.
NOTE: It may be necessary to reach in behind the
dash from the left side of the tractor and
guide the harness connector into the hole
between the frame and the dash support on
the right side of the tractor.
7. Untie the string.
