kylcon 7 #1 Posted August 21, 2022 Hi everyone been quite a while the horse was put away for quite a few years just got her out and running fine trying to hook the deck back up and having a heck of a time seemed like it came off with no problems however that was 7/8 years ago, and Im not sure what I did with the drive belt the one I have that was in the hrorse stall doesnt seem to be the right one about 5 inches shy of making it to the pulley so hoping to be able to find one shouldnt be a big issue but the main problem is nothing seems to be right with the deck hookup not level at all and the travel on the lowering arm only seems to have a about 3 inches of trave and extremely hard to pull deck up into lock position and when it up or down in mowing position deck looks like its at least 2 inches higher on the right side than the left??? any tips would be greatley apreciated ! Thanks guys! Model # 1 0465 8 Serial # 962679 Thanks Again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,745 #2 Posted August 21, 2022 Is the deck hung on the tractor correctly... Look at this Mid Tach-O-Matic hitch pic. The fork MUST engage the guide for the deck belt to fit properly...and for the deck lift arm to work as it should. This is how all the decks 36, 42, or 48" are mounted. As for the belt ...42 " 48" side decks take belt 94-2501 (102642). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,589 #6 Posted August 24, 2022 @daveoman1966 another little detail on a deck mount lift point , is to put your deck wheels in their lowest setting , so the lift carriage has the entire unsupported deck , to deal with , that let you see exactly how its hanging , with little or no wheel support . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
