Red520 9 #1 Posted October 4, 2016 I disconnected my mower deck last night to replace the drive belt now I can't get it back on. I have the arm hooked in the slot but I can't figure out how to get the front latched on the hooks. I do not have a manual and there are spring loaded rods there. Does something need to be pulled out or pushed in to get it latched again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wrightorchid 261 #3 Posted October 4, 2016 The fork being in proper position is the key. It won't lock in unless it is in properly. Keep in mind the actual position of the deck, how far forward or back (closer to rear tires) as the lift arm is in the slot, as this will greatly influence the amount of tension adjustment you will need to do on the mule drive (belt tension adjustment know in the pic). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
