deck drive belt off the center spindle. Hook the engine to deck drive belt onto the bolt
protruding out of the top of the foot deck support angle.
C. Lift the rear corner of the deck and disconnect the rear deck mounting latch. Repeat for
the other side.
D. Position the front caster sheels so they are away from the deck (such as the tractor
would bve traveling in reverse).

vertical and the deck latch engages.

THE DECK LATCH TO FULLY ENGAGE THE LOCKING PIN (LOCATED ON THE
LEFT SIDE OF THE DECK MOUNTING SUSPENSION). THIS WILL PREVENT THE
DECK FROM FALLING DOWN WHEN SERVICING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE

the bottom of the deck towards the rear of the tractor while holding the deck latch so
that it clears the locking pin. Lower the deck until it rests on the ground.
B. Lift the rear corner of the deck and reconnect the rear deck mounting latch. Repeat for
the otherside.
C. Roll the engine to deck drive belt back onto the center spindle. Insure that the engine
to deck drive belt is installed onto all of the pulleys and idlers in the drive train.
