9. From the front of the tractor, slide
the outer pins of the front lift
bracket into the latch receiver
slots of the tractor. Press the lift
bracket rearward until both sides
are firmly captured in the latch
receivers by the quick latch rod
(See Figure 40).
10. From the side of the tractor, raise
the front lift rod and roll the deck
forward until the lift rod aligns with
slots of the deck front roller
bracket. 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 roller bracket (See Figure
39).
11. Guide the LH and RH lift links into
the slots of the rear deck brack-
ets and release the deck support
pins by aligning with the inner
holes of the deck brackets (See
Figure 44). Make certain the han-
dles of the support pins are within
the notches at the top of the rear
deck brackets.
12. Maneuver each side of the deck
slightly to align the support pins
with the holes of the lift links. The
spring tension will push the pins
inward and, if aligned, through
the hole in each implement lift
link (See Figure 44).
Figure 44
NOTE: If unable to align the support
pins with the lift link holes, loosen the
two hex lock nuts on the front lift rod to
allow the deck to be moved farther
rearward.
13. Compress the auto-lok collar of
the deck drive shaft rearward,
then cock to lock the collar in the
released position (See Figure 45).
Figure 45
NOTE: If you do not lock the drive
shaft auto-lok collar in the released
position (step 13), it will be necessary
to compress and hold the collar
rearward when connecting the shaft
(step 14).
