REMOVAL
1. Place wooden blocks underneath the metal mower
deck so that the mower is high enough off the ground

Note
Tipping the mower over on the right-hand side is not
recommended because it will make it more difficult to remove
the front cover and front axle assembly.

metal mower deck.
3. Remove the four 6 mm flange bolts underneath the
front of the metal mower deck.
4. Remove the front cover assembly from the metal
mower deck by sliding the assembly forward, and then
lifting.

a. Release the height adjuster while pulling the
left-hand side of the front axle assembly out of the
