•Working beneath the tractor, remove the round belt guard from the idler by removing the hairpin clip. See Figure 6. Remove the two hex bolts which act as belt keepers by the engine pulley.
•Move the tractor lift handle all the way back to the full raised position. Turn the tractor steering wheel all the way to the right.
•Units with 50" Decks: Remove the roller assembly from the rear of the deck and set aside.
•The two deck stabilizers and the diagonal brace which are attached to the front of the deck are folded back over the deck for shipping purposes. Unfold them at this time. See Figure 7.
Slide the deck under the tractor from the left side. You may need to angle the deck slightly to get the braces past the front wheel.
