How to Install a Huskee 46 Inch Deck

The mower deck on the Huskee lawn mower controls the blade when you are cutting grass. When you use attachments on the mower, such as a spreader or tilling equipment, you do not need the deck to be on the tractor. Other times the deck may need replacing for one reason or another. In many cases, if removing the deck is not something that you do often, you may forget how to put it back on the tractor properly. The Installation procedure is not difficult and you only need a few basic tools to do the job.
