Time to remove my deck. After hunting for my Manual, trying to read the tiny print on the newsprint paper stock. I thought of KZfaq. You were the first vid to pop up. You did an excellent job explaining what looked to be very complicated job in the manual, several pages of that small print. lol Very well presented.

Thanks for this video. I purchased a zero turn with a steering wheel. I need to get the deck off to clean it. This was great! I hope I'm strong enough to get mine off! I have an air gun for the blades. Don't worry, I won't strip them off! I've done that before. I hand tighten them. Only use the air gun to loosen the bolts to take them off. Not bad for a 73 year old wimpy woman? It might take me two days to do it all, but that's okay! Thanks a bunch!

On my old Raleigh, which was way harder to align than this, I found lifting the deck and sitting it on a piece of 4" by 1" timber on each side made it way easier to align the pins.

Your voice sounds like you live near Pittsburgh. I use a rope to pull the idle pully back and then remove the belt from the PTO. Also use an air impact wrench to remove and reinstall the nuts on the blades. Never clean under the deck and never torque the bolts. We have a fabricated deck, it will take years to rust through. Thinking about building a low crawler to be able to slide the deck in and out from the mower. I do grease the zerks though every time I sharpen blades

Blades are slightly offset so they won’t hit each other in any rotational position. Center blade spindle is forward of the two outer spindles so that cutting paths overlap without blades touching each other.
