How to Assemble a 48 Inch Deck on a MTD Riding Mower
- 1). Slide the new deck under the tractor.
- 2). Lock the PTO cable into the back of the deck by placing the clip into the hole.
- 3). Lower the desk adjuster to its lowest position so that the belts will fit onto the deck easier.
- 4). Slide the cotter pin into position on the left rear of the deck near the tire. Repeat the same with the right side.
- 5). Run the belt around the engine pulley to the deck. The engine pulley is located directly under the motor.
- 6). Screw the belt keeper rod into place with your hand. The rod is near the engine pulley.
