Lowered mowing deck. Replaced three belts and put on two new mowing blades. Not difficult but its is a good idea to take a picture with your cell phone of the old belts prior to removing. It is a good reference guide and many times easier than a manual. A picture is worth a thousand words !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
