Cutting Deck Removal
WARNING:
ignition key, set the parking brake, disconnect
the spark plug wire(s) and ground against the
engine to prevent unintended starting before
removing the cutting deck.
WARNING:
safety goggles to protect your eyes while
removing the cutting deck.
For performing service on your tractor and in order to
properly mount some (separately available)
attachments, it may be necessary to remove the
tractor's cutting deck. To due so, proceed as follows:
•
Place the deck engagement/lift lever in the
engaged (all the way forward) position.
•
Using a spring puller (Part No. 732-0571) or other
suitable tool, disconnect the spring which is
attached to a small hook found on the left, rear
portion of the transmission. See Figure 15.
•
Place the deck engagement/lift lever in the
BLADES STOP position.
•
Locate the two belt keeper pins, found on either
side of the engine pulley, and use a 1/4-inch socket
wrench to remove them. See Figure 16.
NOTE:
When reassembling, make certain belt keeper
pins are assembled in the same locations from which
they were removed.
•
Remove the deck belt from around the engine
pulley. Return the deck engagement/lift lever to the
engaged (all the way forward) position.
•
Locate the deck anti-sway rod and adjustable deck
links found near the front of the cutting deck. See
Figure 16 & Figure 17.
•
First remove the hairpin clip which secures the anti-
sway rod to the front portion of the cutting deck,
then remove the hairpin clips which secure the
adjustable deck hangers. Retain the hairpin clips.
•
Carefully lower the front portion of the deck to the
ground.
•
Remove the hairpin clips which secure the rear
deck hangers to the deck stabilizer bracket. See
Figure 18. Retain the hairpin clips.
•
Carefully lower the rear portion of the deck to the
ground.
NOTE:
For normal service and maintenance, the
deck stabilizer bracket doesn't need to be removed
from the tractor. If removing the cutting deck in order to
mount a Snow Thrower attachment, however, the
stabilizer bracket must be removed. To do so, simply
remove the hairpin clip which secures the stabilizer rod
to the stabilizer bracket. See Figure 18.
