Boot To Mower Deck Installation - Cub Cadet TANK Series Operator's Manual

2-14 Boot To Mower Deck Installation

NOTE: The boot kit assembly is designed to fit the 48",
54" and 60" deck. To ensure a snug fit between the boot
and the mower deck, follow the instructions in this step
thoroughly, and remove and tighten all hardware in the
sequence specified.
Lift the grass deflector on the mower deck. Secure the
deck plate assembly P#(A1960) to the discharge chute
of the mower deck using (2) 5/16"-18 x 1" carriage bolts
P#(K1144) and (2) 5/16"-18 nylon flange locknuts
P#(K2516). Refer to Figure 2-14a.

Secure the boot plate assembly P#(A1961) to the
aluminum boot P#(E0026) using (2) 3/8"-16 x 1" carriage
bolts P#(K1182) and (2) 3/8"-16 nylon flange locknuts
P#(K2038). Insert the carriage bolts from the inside of
the boot so the threads are on the outside of the boot
(Figure 2-14a). This will prevent grass clippings from
collecting on the bolt threads.
Align the mount holes in the boot plate assembly with
the mounting holes in the deck plate assembly and insert
(1) boot rod P#(B0288) into the mounting holes. Secure
the boot rod with (1) hair pin clip P#(K0099). Refer to
Figure 2-14b.
