B. Installation of Mower Deck
NOTE: The LH lift link must be raised
to provide clearance for sliding the
mower deck under, or out from under,
the tractor.
1. If not already done, lock the LH lift
link in its deck installation/removal
position as follows: (Refer to
Figures 36A through 36D).
• Holding the LH lift rod downward,
lift upward on the release tab of
the lift stop bracket while raising
the rearward end of the lift link to
align its slot with the notch of the
LH lift rod (See Figures 36A and
36B).
• Swing the LH lift rod forward until
fully to the front of the lift link slot
(See Figures 36C and 36D).
2. Start the tractor and use the
hydraulic lift to fully raise the left
lift link. Stop engine.
3. Check the caster wheel and
gauge wheel settings on the deck.
If necessary, remove the hex cap
screws and nylon lock nuts, and
adjust the wheels to their highest
setting (lowest deck setting). See
