thehorse 221 #2 Posted May 10, 2017 5 minutes. Park on concrete and slides easier. Pull deck or push so the height adjustment lever goes away from tractor. Wiggle here, lift deck lever, slide..... easy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,770 #4 Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) 1. park it on a level concrete or asphalt area with 5' of room on the right side 2. turn the wheels to the left 3. loosen the mule drive and take the deck drive belt off the deck pulley 4.raise the deck with the lift-a-matic 5. release the deck from the mid attach-a-matic 6. lower the lift-a-matic. 7. pull the deck out the right side. till the left deck carriage bar catches on the deck lift bar 8. you will have to lift the deck lift bar over the left deck carriage bar. 9. if the deck is not going back on, remove the belt from the PTO and unlatch the mule drive.... no need to take the belt off the mule drive. 20 minutes the first time , 5 minutes the 10th time Edited May 10, 2017 by Ed Kennell 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EricF 589 #7 Posted May 10, 2017 To make sliding the deck under the tractor even easier and to avoid scuffing the wheels and rollers on my rough asphalt driveway, I use four of these 6" dollies: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004YOKC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Just lift the corners of the deck and slip one under each gauge wheel and the outer two anti-scalp rollers. Makes it really easy to line it up. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
