Left side deck adjustment gear fell off

1. Removed the temporary fix.
2. Lowered deck onto wooden shims on the left side set to the same height as the right side.
3. Removed the pin in the linkage to make it easier to line up deck and parts.
4. Installed parts, tightened into place, replace linkage pin.
5. Checked deck height at lowest, idle and highest levels to ensure it was correct.
6. Cleaned up tools and tested mower.

This was easily done in the driveway with basic tools. I would recommend checking all nuts and bolts when you do your spring maintenance and oil changes throughout the year.

Drive belt pulley was the hardest . You have drop the engine pulley off the engine shaft and fan on top of the rear hydrostatic drive . Its especially essential to have a hammer drill to do that . Pre soak both both of them with wd40 . On the fan, remove battery and pull out it's box holder, seat also . Front and back pulleys need to be removed to install drive belt otherwise you can't get belt replaced . Did that also at the same time of steering shaft and pinion gear . Remove steering wheel, plus gas tank. Also under side nut .
