Removal and Installation (Fig. 19)

Each cutting deck is suspended from a carrier frame.

The cutting deck carrier frame is attached to the lift arm

and allows the cutting deck to pivot on the lift arm pivot

shaft. Cutting deck positions are identified in Figure 20.

Cutting deck carrier frames are secured to lift arms as

follows:

1. Carrier frames for the front three cutting decks (#1,

#4 and #5) have a thrust washer between the carrier

frame and the lift arm. The frame is secured to the lift arm

pivot shaft with a lynch pin.

2. Carrier frames for the center two cutting decks (#2

and #3) have a thrust washer between the carrier frame

and the lift arm. The frame is secured to the lift arm pivot

shaft with a rebound washer and cap screw.

3. On Groundsmaster 4700--D machines, carrier

frames for the rear two cutting decks (#6 and #7) have

a compression spring and thrust washer between the

carrier frame and the lift arm. The frame is secured to the

lift arm pivot shaft with a flat washer and lock nut.
