Cutting Deck Removal
NOTE: Prior to performing this section, the PTO
Belt Removal section must be performed.
1. Make certain the cutting deck is at the lowest
position. See Figure 1.
2. Remove the hairpin and clevis pin from below
the deck lift handle, and install them above the
deck lift handle.
NOTE: This step must be performed to make
certain the deck lift handle is restrained and will
not spring back up during cutting deck removal.
3. Remove all six linch pins securing the cutting
deck to the deck link eye bolts and front mount-
ing rod. See Figure 2.
