link and make certain it is clear of the right lift
arm. Refer to Figure 62.
• Holding the fixed link upward, maneuver the fixed
link between the tire and fender while sliding the
deck out from beneath the right side of the
tractor.
• Reposition the rear deck wheels and reinstall the
clevis pins and internal cotter pins.
INSTALLING THE DECK
• Remove the internal cotter pins and clevis pins to
allow the rear deck wheels to pivot. Refer to
Figure 65.
• Hold the fixed link upward and maneuver the
fixed link between the tire and fender while sliding
the deck underneath the right side of the tractor.
• Reposition the rear deck wheels and reinstall the
clevis pins and internal cotter pins.
• While noting the forms (bends) in the rod are
correctly positioned, slide the deck hanger rod
into the slots in the front receiver brackets. Refer
to Figure 64.
• From either side of the tractor, lift the deck
hanger rod and roll the deck forward until the
hanger rod aligns with slots of the deck front
roller bracket. Lower the hanger rod into the front
roller bracket slots and slide the deck rearward
to engage the rod fully forward in the slots of the
roller bracket. Refer to Figure 64.
• If installed, remove the two klik pins from the pins
of LH and RH frame mounting plates.
• Slide the deck lift arms and side braces onto the
pins of the LH and RH frame mounting plates.
Insert a klik pin through the hole of each frame
mounting plate pin. Flip the locking rings
downward and over the ends of the mounting
plate pins to lock the klik pins in place. Refer to
Figure 63.
NOTE: If necessary, start the engine and use the
tractor’s hydraulic lift lever to lower the lift arms on the
tractor. Stop the engine.
• Slide the fixed link of the deck over the RH lift
arm. Align the holes, insert the clevis pin, and
secure with the internal cotter pin (Refer to Figure
62).
• Slide the check chain of the deck over the LH lift
arm. Align the holes, insert the clevis pin, and
secure with the internal cotter pin. Refer to Figure
61.
NOTE: When connecting the fixed link and check
chain, it is recommended that the clevis pins be
inserted from the inside-out to minimize the possibility
of contact with the brake rods and to ease installation
of the internal cotter pins.
• Compress the locking collar of the drive shaft and
slide the drive shaft fully onto the PTO shaft
protruding from the front of the transmission
housing. Release the collar and check to ensure
the drive shaft is locked onto the PTO shaft.
