Zero Turn mower that does it all!
What happens here
To switch from the rough-cut deck to the finish-cut deck, first disengage the two chains supporting the mower's foot platform by lifting and unhooking their carabiner-style connectors. Then, lower the deck to the ground using the push-button winch system on the mower until there is enough slack in the chains. Next, remove the adjustment strap by pulling out its securing pin. Finally, disconnect the PTO shaft from the mower's yoke by pulling a pin, and then disconnect the electrical connections (green to green, red to red) that power the deck. Once all connections are freed, back the mower away from the detached deck.
Goal: Remove the rough-cut deck from the mower.
