Deck Installation - Model MW

1. Lightly grease each deck support arm (2) on the
tractor. Refer to Mower Deck Installation photo
for location of deck support arm.
2. Engage the deck carrier frame tube sockets on the
tractor support arms. Slide the deck onto the sup-
port arms.
NOTE: When installing the DSD52 Mower deck,
make sure to retract the dolly wheel after mounting
the deck on the tractor.
3. Install the hitch pin through the hole on the end of
each support arm to lock the deck in place (refer to
Counterweight Spring Receptacle Assembly
photos). Two (2) hitch pins are included in the own-
er's packet of materials.
4. Connect the mower deck PTO drive shaft assem-
bly to the tractor with the splined quick disconnect
coupler. This coupler simplifies shaft alignment
and installation.
a. Use the arrows on the shaft and tube to align
and slide the PTO quick coupler onto the deck
splined shaft.
b. Reaching under the tractor, pull the ring back
on the coupler, slide onto the spline shaft on
the tractor, and release the ring.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the mower,
make sure the PTO shaft assembly is securely
locked on the tractor, with the locking balls fully
seated in the groove and the ring in the full forward
position (refer to the Coupler Ring "Locked" Po-
sition photo). After installation, pull on the shaft to
check for security.
