Fuse
A fuse is installed in your tractor’s wiring harness to 
protect the tractor’s electrical system from damage 
caused by excessive amperage. 
If the electrical system does not function, or your 
tractor’s engine will not crank, first check to be certain 
that the fuse has not blown. 
It can be found under the hood mounted behind the top 
of the dash panel on the support bar. Pull the fuse out 
and inspect it to determine if it is good or blown.
IMPORTANT:
 Always use a fuse with the same 
amperage capacity for replacement. 
WARNING:
Before servicing, repairing, or
inspecting, always disengage PTO, set
parking brake, stop engine and remove key to
prevent unintended starting.
Cutting Deck Removal
To remove the cutting deck, proceed as follows:
Place the PTO/Blade Engage knob in the 
disengaged (OFF) position and engage the parking 
brake.
Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the 
bottom notch on the right fender.
Remove the PTO belt from around the tractor’s 
electric PTO clutch. Refer to Figure 18 or Figure 19.
Looking at the cutting deck from the left side of the 
tractor, locate the deck support pin on the rear left 
side of the deck.
Rotate the pin slightly toward the rear of the tractor 
and release the pin into the hole provided. 
Pull the deck support pin outward to release the 
deck from the deck lift arm. See Figure 17.
Figure 17
Repeat the above steps on the tractor’s right side.
Move the deck lift lever into the top notch on the 
right fender to raise the deck lift arms up and out of 
the way.
Gently slide the cutting deck toward the front of the 
tractor allowing the hooks on the deck to release 
themselves from the deck stabilizer rod.
Gently slide the cutting deck (from the right side) 
out from underneath the tractor.
Changing the Deck Belt(s)
WARNING:
Be sure to shut the engine off,
remove ignition key, disconnect the spark
plug wire(s) and ground against the engine to
prevent unintended starting before removing
the belt(s).
All belts on your tractor are subject to wear and should 
be replaced if any signs of wear are present.
IMPORTANT:
 The V-belts found on your tractor are 
specially designed to engage and disengage safely. A 
substitute (non-OEM) V-belt can be dangerous by not 
disengaging completely. For a proper working machine, 
use factory approved belts.
To change or replace the deck belts on your tractor, 
proceed as follows:
Lower the deck by moving the deck lift lever into the 
bottom notch on the right fender.
Remove the belt guards by removing the self-
tapping screws that fasten them to the deck. See 
Figure 18 or Figure 19.
Grasp the rearmost portion of the PTO idler bracket 
and pivot it toward the discharge chute to relieve 
tension on the PTO belt. 
Remove the PTO belt from the electric PTO clutch 
and the PTO idler pulley(s).
Grasp the deck idler pulley and pivot it toward the 
left side of the deck to relieve tension on the deck 
belt. 
Remove the deck belt from around all pulleys, 
including the deck idler pulley.
Route the new belts as shown in Figure 18 or 
Figure 19.
Remount the belt guards removed earlier.
