Blade Installation
WARNING: Before beginning installation, place the tractor on a firm and
level surface set the parking brake, place the PTO in the disengaged (OFF)
position, stop the tractor’s motor and remove the ignition key to prevent
unintended starting.
WARNING: Cutting blades are sharp. Always protect hands by wearing heavy
leather work gloves to grasp blades.
-
Remove the cutting deck from beneath the tractor as instructed in your tractor’s Operator’s Manual.
-
Gently flip the deck over to expose its underside.
-
Stabilize one of the cutting blades with a blade lock tool or a block of wood. See Figure 1-2.
-
Remove the hex flange nut that secures the blade to the spindle.
IMPORTANT: The hex flange nuts have a right-handed (normal) thread pattern. Do NOT attempt to force the nuts in the opposite direction. Doing so may damage the nuts. -
Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the other cutting blade.
-
Replace the blades with the blades included in the kit. Be sure to install each blade with the side marked ‘‘Bottom’’ (or with a part number stamped in it) facing the ground when the mower is in the operating position.
IMPORTANT: Use a torque wrench to tighten each blade spindle’s hex flange nut to between 90 ft-lb and 110 ft-lb.
Installing the Mulch Plug

Important: Be certain that the bottom edge of the mulch
plug is installed on the inside of the lip of the deck opening, as shown in
Figure 1-5.
-
Slide the mulch plug wire (747-06686) over the pin on the deck’s surface, position the washer over the wire, and secure the mulch plug with the wing knob. See Figure 1-6.
