LoBoy 154 - 3260 Deck Removal?

[Dougget]

Hi,
I just bought some parts from HamiltonBob. Looking forward to tuning up my deck and replacing the broken spindle.
I'd like to remove it from the tractor and try to do as thorough job as possible including rust removal and fresh paint.

There's a lot of linkage under there... plus the drive belt. Is there a video or other form of instruction on how to remove the deck?
Also, some of my linkages are improvised, bolts with big washers where there should probably be pins.
Any details would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug

Works better with two people to slide the mower deck out from under the tractor. Whichever side you use, turn that side front wheel in or out to remove the deck.

Lower mower, disconnect linkage, remove belt, slide the deck out. It's actually pretty simple.

Small linkage parts, local hardware store.

There is a manual in the PDF Manuals section. Click on Quick Links in the upper left corner of this page, then PDF Manuals, then Lo Boy Series, then Attachments, then Mowers.

put a couple boards down for ramps and back over the deck----- I do it all the time! saves the old back and dont hurt the deck any.
