Cutting Deck Removal and Installation

Deck Removal
1. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting deck
in the fully raised position. Stop engine, engage park-
ing brake and remove key from the ignition switch.
NOTE: When the cutting deck is in the raised position,
pull link torsion spring tension is reduced making it much
easier to disconnect pull links from machine.
2. Disconnect pull link from each side of machine (Fig.
1):
CAUTION
Be careful when disconnecting the pull links.
The pull link torsion springs may cause some
rotation of pull links during the removal process.
A. Remove shoulder screw that secures retainer pin
to carrier frame.
B. Carefully slide retainer pin from carrier frame and
pull link.
3. Note location of HOC pin in HOC bracket for assem-
bly purposes (Fig. 2). Remove HOC pin from HOC
bracket.
NOTE: If cutting deck is lowered onto suitable furniture
dollies, removal from under the machine is simplified.
4. Start engine and fully lower cutting deck. Stop en-
gine and remove key from the ignition switch.
WARNING
Do not start the engine and engage the PTO
switch when the PTO drive shaft is disconnected
from the cutting deck. If the engine is started and
the PTO shaft is allowed to rotate, serious per-
sonal injury and machine damage could result. If
the PTO drive shaft is disconnected from the cut-
ting deck, disconnect PTO solenoid coil connec-
tor from wire harness to prevent unintentional
engagement of the PTO clutch.
5. To prevent unintentional engagement of the PTO
clutch, disconnect the wire harness electrical connector
from the PTO solenoid valve coil connector (Fig. 3).
