1. Internal Mount
a) Slot the Universal Deck Adapter (Figure 32) to receive the Hinge Plate Arms. You can do this by
drilling 1/4” holes at the top and bottom of the slot locations and inserting the Saw Blade into the hole
to remove the remaining material or cutting directly from the edge of the contour.
b) Shims (Figure 32), made by tracing the outline and hole locations of the Bracket Plates or Mower Deck
Hardware onto a piece of material that was cut out of the Universal Deck Adapter, are then placed
beneath the hardware to bring it to level.
c) The Universal Deck Adapter Hinge with appropriate shimming, is inserted into the slots and then
bolted to the under side of the Universal Deck Adapter (Figure 32) with the Backing Plate mounted
externally.
2. External Mount
You can also mount the Universal Deck Adapter Hinge Plate on top of the Universal Deck Adapter
(Figure 33).
Small Distance
We suggest shimming your Mower Deck Hardware as in the External Mounting above. Figure 34
shows sectional views of various hardware installations and typical shimming to achieve common
