Deck Installation

1. Lightly grease each deck support arm (2) on the
tractor. Refer to Mower Deck Installation pho-
to on next page for location of deck support arm.
2. Engage the deck carrier frame tube sockets on
the tractor support arms (refer to Discharge
Chute and PTO Shaft Guard Installation photo

port arms: all the way if SD equipped model,
approximately 3 in. (76 mm) if GHS equipped
model.
NOTE: When installing the DSD52 or DSD62
Mower deck, make sure to retract the dolly
wheel after mounting the deck on the tractor.
3. If the deck is rear discharge (GHS equipped
model), the rear discharge chute will need to be
aligned and connected to the blower inlet dur-
ing the last 2 in. (51 mm) of slide action on the
support arms.
NOTE: Raising the mower body may be help-
ful in fitting and guiding the deck chute into the
blower.
4. Install the hitch pin through the hole on the end
of each support arm to lock the deck in place
(refer to Deck Counterweight Spring Installa-
tion photo). Two (2) hitch pins are included in
