It may be necessary to remove the mower deck to
facilitate servicing the mower deck. The following
procedure details how to remove the mower deck
from the unit.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface such as
a concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the
parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove the
ignition key.
2. Remove the PTO drive belt (see PTO DRIVE
BELT REPLACEMENT for removal instructions).
3. Lower the mower deck to its lowest cutting
position.
4. Block up the mower deck until all hanger chains
are slack. See Figure 52.
5. Loosen and remove the hardware that secures
the top of the hanger chains (A, Figure 53) to the
deck lift rod pivots (B)
6. Loosen and remove the hardware (A, Figure 54)
that secures the idler arm mount plate (B) to the
mower deck (C).
7. Loosen and remove the 1/2” hardware (A, Figure

Remove the pusher rollers from the unit.
8. Remove the blocking from underneath the mower
deck.
9. Turn the front wheels of the mower so they face
side-to-side instead of front-to-back and pull the
mower deck out from underneath the unit.
Installing the Mower Deck
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface such as
a concrete floor. Disengage the PTO, engage the
parking brake, turn off the engine, and remove the

the unit, the deck guide (B), the mower deck roller
post, the sleeve bushing (C), the roller (D), the 1/2
