60" deck removal procedure needed

[rbig]

Need the Cub Cadet procedure for removing my 60" deck in my 3205.

I can do it without the procedure, but figure the procedure might make the job a little easier.

Slightly different design, but on my 2544:

1) I place a 1"x2"x3ft long pc of wood under the nose roller.

2) Lower the deck as low as it will go.

3) Release the drive belt.

4) Release the left and right lift arm spring loaded J-pins.

5) Lift up on the pc of wood to raise the deck and release the nose bracket.

6) Slide the deck out from the side.

Takes me about 2min. Thing is, my 44" only weighs about 100lbs fully dressed. Your 60" is probably 2-3x that.

The 60" has a shaft to be disconnected instead of belts.

I think your process will work for my deck. It's basically the same many other tractors use.

I always like to see if there's any detail in the factory procedure I might not know, when I can.

Thanks for the process. Bet it'll work fine on my situation.
