Fuse
Two fuses are installed in your tractor's wiring harness to protect the tractor's electrical system from damage
caused by excessive amperage.
•
If the electrical system does not function, or your tractor's engine will not crank, first check to be certain that one
of the fuses has not blown. One can be found under the hood mounted behind the top of the dash panel on the
support bar. The other fuse is mounted to the inside of the frame, behind the battery. Pull each fuse out to
determine if it is good or blown.
Always use a fuse with the same amperage capacity for replacement.
IMPORTANT:
Cutting Deck Removal
The cutting deck will have to be removed from the tractor
for a variety of service tasks. To remove the cutting
deck, proceed as follows:
1. Place the PTO lever in the disengaged (OFF) position
and engage the parking brake.
2. Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the
bottom notch on the right fender.
3. Remove the PTO belt from around the engine pulley
and from around the PTO idler pulley(s).
4. Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the
tractor, locate the deck support pin on the rear left
side of the deck. See Figure 12.
5. Pull the deck support pin outward to release the deck
from the deck lift arm.
6. Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor
and release the pin into the hole provided. Repeat the
above steps on the right side of the tractor.
7. Using a pair of pliers, remove the cotter pin that holds the deck cable, and disconnect the cable.
8. Move the deck lift lever into the top notch on the right fender to raise the deck lift arms out of the way.
9. Gently slide the cutting deck toward the front of the tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release themselves
from the deck stabilizer rod. Do not let the deck fall to the ground.
