Thanks, dude, great vid. I have had my D105 for about 5 seasons and have to take the deck off. You make it easy. Have a great summer.

The mower deck on my Cub Cadet lawn tractor is pretty similar on install/removal. Mine had those stupid butterfly type clips on it like the front deck rod on your D105 has, I quickly replaced those with the regular cotter pins, makes install and removal of the deck so much easier and quicker, not that it takes very long anyways, but the creative language used in removing those butterfly clips is no longer necessary LOL. I have a Kubota BX2680 with the 60" mid mount mower and you ain't picking it up and sliding it around very easily, but the anti-scalp wheels on it will swivel 90 degrees and you can very easily roll the deck in and out from under the tractor. Hookup of the deck is a couple of quick release spring pins on the lift arms, and a front bracket as well as a PTO shaft...very easy 5 minute install/removal at most....the deck on my Cub Cadet don't take long to install or remove either, but I can pick it up and carry it unlike the deck for my tractor.

That's how you wash off your cutting deck

[@douglastaylor2652]

Left lifter arm 02:10 is not facing the like the one on the right 03:20. The loop is facing different. Is this the way to do it?

[@mechanicvance2480]

Good ketch, I never really noticed. I couldn’t tell you how long it’s been like that, I’ve never had an issue. That being said I would put them back symmetrical just to contain my ocd. 😉, thanks for watching!

@@mechanicvance2480 No problem and no charge for the OCD checkup. You may proceed...

I keep hearing you should never wash your lawnmower just wipe it down

[@mechanicvance2480]

@@36surferjoe yeah sounds a little suspicious to me. Probably a mixture of don’t wash electronics or pressure wash the engine case…if you want anything to last keeping it clean is the first step IMO
