Blade Installation
WARNING
Before beginning installation, place the tractor on a firm and level surface, set the
parking brake, place the PTO in the disengage (OFF) position, stop the tractor’s engine
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.
1. Remove cutting deck from beneath tractor as instructed in your Operator’s Manual.
2. Gently flip deck over to expose its
underside.
IMPORTANT: Flipping the deck will require
two people.
3. Place a block of wood between deck
housing baffle and cutting blade to
act as a stabilizer, then use a wrench
to remove hex flange nut securing
each blade to its spindle assembly. See
Figure 2.
IMPORTANT: Hex flange nuts have a
right-handed (normal) thread pattern. Do NOT
attempt to force nuts in opposite direction.
Doing so may damage nut.
4. Remove chute deflector baffle from
underside of deck by removing two
carriage bolts and flange lock nuts
that secure it to deck. See Figure 3.
5. When baffle is removed, re-install one
carriage bolt and flange lock nut into
deck in most central opening. See
Figure 3.
NOTE: Replacing hardware keeps material
from escaping the deck.
6. Replace blades with blades included in
kit. Be sure to install each blade with
side marked ‘‘Bottom’’ (or with a part
number stamped in it) facing the ground when mower is in 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.

b. Working from inside out,

outside wall of deck with two
carriage bolts (710-3168) and
two hex flange nuts (712-
05007). See (1) in Figure 6.
c. Stabilize discharge baffle by
