Answer
hi Eric

from memory the cutting deck should have 2  front drag link arms @ front of deck
pull the 2 x  R hair pins from the posts, disengage pto the deck tension  with lever on the l/h side of deck with locs into a loc bracket @ l/h front.    remove the pto to deck belt from the electric clutch  pulley and the belt guide , under the r/h side of foot board you will see a bracket arm comming down to  couple up with another pin,  pull these  R pins here and also on the other side , also need to pull the other r pin  on the l/h that links from chassis to deck
in all there should be 5 or 6  R pins removed - when this is done - pull the  raise the deck lift lever and pull deck out from r/h side - note it might help to have someone help you with the  deck is quite heavy.
