Ed Kennell 35,998 #2 Posted August 30, 2023 to the Doc. I am not familiar with the 200 series tractors, but someone that is should be here soon to help. Meanwhile, try to locate the operators manual in our manuals section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,537 #3 Posted August 30, 2023 You posted the model and serial of the tractor. Do you have the same for the mower deck? or What is the width of cut and how many blades? Side or rear discharge? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,989 #7 Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) It's pretty easy. Worse part is muscling it out from underneath. It that a cracked bracket on top of the model sticker? Edited September 2, 2023 by WHX?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc995 1 #8 Posted September 5, 2023 Thanks guys! That bracket is actually the plastic cover for the top of the blade mandrel (looking down on the deck from driver's seat) but you're right, it DOES look like a metal bracket from the angle I shot it!
