Deck lift links and cables
The deck lift links have two functions. The first function is to support the rear of the deck. The second function is
to raise or lower the deck in response to movement of the deck lift lever.
To accomplish the second function, the deck lift cables run from the deck lift shaft assembly and over a pulley to
the lift links.
There are two sets of lift links used on the 900 series tractors. The links used on the 38” and 42” decks have a left
and a right lift link. The links used on the 46”, 50” and the 54” deck are all the same link.
The holes used in the lift link will vary depending on
which deck is used. See Figure 8.38.
NOTE: If the cable or the deck “J” pin is installed in
the wrong hole, the belt angle between the
PTO and the deck will be off. This will result
in the PTO belt being thrown off.
NOTE: The procedures to service the lift cables and
lift links are the same, regardless of which
deck is used on the tractor.
To remove/replace the lift link cables:
NOTE: The lift links and the lift cables can be ser-
viced without removing the fender.
1. Remove the deck by following the steps described
at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Remove the four screws the fasten that right side
fender trim to the fender using a 3/8” wrench.
See Figure 8.39.
NOTE: The screws are accessed from the under-
side of the fender.
