Step 3

Locate the deck support pin. It will be found on the left side of the tractor on the rear left side of the mowing deck. Turn the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor. There will be a hole provided that you want to drop the pin into.

Step 4

Pull the pin of the deck support outward, releasing the deck from the deck lift arm. Repeat the steps above on the right side of the mower. Raise the lift arms up and out of the way. You will need to position the deck lift lever to the top notch on the right fender to do so.
