9. Remove the hairpin cotter and washer from the end of
the long rod (Fig. 40). Slide the rod out of the mower
mount. Repeat this step on the opposite side of the
mower.
Important
Tape or tie the long rods against the chassis
to protect them from damage when you remove the mower.
10. Remove the mower belt from the lower engine pulley
(Fig. 41). If you are careful, you can flex the belt
guide(s) just far enough away from the pulley to
remove the belt. If it is too difficult to remove the belt,
loosen the bolts and nuts securing the belt guides.
Important Do not bend the belt guide(s) away from the
pulley because the belt will not operate properly when the
mower is installed later.

Installing the Mower

shift into neutral, set the parking brake, stop the engine,
and remove the ignition key.
2. Pull the wire off of the spark plug.
3. Turn the front wheels fully to the left. Slide the mower
under the chassis from the right side.
4. Install the mower belt onto the lower engine pulley
(Fig. 41). If you are careful, you can flex the belt
guide(s) just far enough away from the pulley to install
the belt. If it is too difficult to install the belt, loosen the
bolts and nuts securing the belt guides.
Important
Do not bend the belt guide(s) away from the
pulley. There must be a maximum 1/8 in. (3.2 mm)
between the belt guide(s) and the edge of the pulley to keep
the belt on the pulley during operation. If the space is more
than 1/8 in. (3.2 mm), adjust the belt guide(s) and tighten
them securely. The belt guide(s) must not contact the
pulley.
