ri702bill 9,359 #3 Posted May 8, 2024 (edited) Keaton - the 701 Early style "Suitcase Deck" uses a 3 point mount. Unbolt the lift rod, remove the RH forward bracket. slide the deck sideways to get out of the LH bracket. Slide the deck out sideways under the tractor. Later years had a revised front mount - the early Tach-a-matic. MUCH easier. (I am not a huge fan of that style deck - the open construction had no torus curves part to improve grass lift. And the remove-the-wheel and reposition it to change deck height was a PITA) I actually have one like yours, used ir once. The later 1960's curved RM series cut better and are easier to use...
