3. DECK IDLER BRACKET REMOVAL
NOTE: The 38” deck has a single pulley on the
idler. The 42” deck has two pulleys on the idler.
Disassembly procedures are similar.
3.1. Remove the deck from the unit.
3.2. Remove the deck drive belt.
3.3. Remove the deck idler bracket spring. See Fig-
ure 9.
3.4. Remove the cotter pin holding the brake rod to
the idler bracket and remove the brake rod con-
nected to the idler bracket. See Figure 10.
3.5. Using a 9/16” socket and a 9/16” wrench,
remove the bolt and nut securing the idler
bracket to the frame. There is a shoulder spacer
under the idler bracket. Remove the idler
bracket. Inspect the idler bracket for wear or
damage. Inspect the brake puck at the end of
the idler bracket for wear or damage. The brake
puck is riveted to the idler bracket. See Figure
11.
NOTE: The 38” and 42” deck share the same
idler bracket. They each use unique mounting
holes. Correct holes are marked on the bracket.
This is also true for the tension springs. The hole
in the center of the bracket has a step washer in
it. See Figure 12.
3.6. Using two 9/16” wrenches remove the idler pul-
leys.
