How to Get the Deck Off of a Husqvarna Riding Mower

Park the Husqvarna riding mower on a flat surface. Push the brake pedal fully in. Switch on the parking brake lever. Position the clutch lever into the "Disengaged" setting to disengage the transmission.

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the tip of the spark plug. Position the plug wire so it will not accidentally contact the plug. Push the attachment lift lever forward to lower the mowing deck to its lowest position.

Wind the rear drive pulley with gloved hands while pulling the belt off the pulley. Pull the retainer spring out of the anti-sway bar's chassis bracket and unhook the sway bar. Pull the retainer spring out of the rear deck brackets and disconnect the suspension arms.

Pull the retainer springs out of the front links and disconnect them from the deck. Pull up on the attachment lift lever to raise up the suspension arms. Slide the mowing deck out from underneath the Husqvarna riding lawn mower. Reinstall the mowing deck in reverse sequence.
