Disassembly
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower cutting deck
(or implement), stop engine and remove key from the
ignition switch.
When removing wheels, use correct blocks,
hoists and jacks. Make sure machine is parked
on a solid, level surface such as a concrete
floor. Prior to raising machine, remove any at-
tachments that may interfere with the safe and
proper raising of the machine. Always chock or
block wheels. Use jack stands or solid wood
blocks to support the raised machine. If the ma-
chine is not properly supported by blocks or
jack stands, the machine may move or fall,
which may result in personal injury.
CAUTION
2. Chock rear wheels and jack up front of machine (see
Jacking Instructions in Chapter 1 − Safety). Support ma-
chine with jack stands or solid wood blocks.
3. Remove wheel lug nuts and slide wheel assembly
from front axle.
4. Remove brake return spring (item 12) from brake
cable link (item 13). Disconnect brake cable from brake
lever by removing cotter pin (item 11) and clevis pin
(item 10).
NOTE: If the brake drum is severely worn, it may be
necessary to loosen the brake shoes before removing
the brake drum. Loosen the brake shoes by turning the
star wheel adjuster inside the brake drum assembly.
5. Remove the lock nut (item 1) that retains the brake
drum. Pull the brake drum from the machine.
6. Inspect braking surface of brake drum. If excessive
wear or scoring exist, replace brake drum.
