Deck lift links and cables
The deck lift links have two functions. The first function
is to support the rear of the deck. The second function
is to raise or lower the deck in response to movement
of the deck lift lever.
To accomplish the second function, the deck lift cables
run from the deck lift shaft assembly, over a pulley to
the lift links.
There are two sets of lift links used on the 900 series
tractors. The links used on the 38” and 42” decks have
a left and a right lift link. The links used on the 46”, 50”
and the 54” deck are all the same link.
The holes used in the lift link will vary depending on
which deck is used. See Figure 8.36.
NOTE: If the cable or the deck “J” pin is installed
in the wrong hole, the belt angle between the
PTO and the deck will be off. This will result in
the PTO belt being throwing off.
NOTE: The procedures to service the lift cables
and lift links are the same, regardless of which
deck is used on the tractor.
To remove/replace the lift link cables:
NOTE: The lift links and the lift cables can be
serviced without removing the fender.
1. Remove the deck by following the steps
described at the beginning of this chapter.
