Default 1864 and 324 54" deck

I've been reading through the manual for the deck removal and installation and seems I'm doing it right. The question I have is when you turn the wheels 90 degrees and raise them to the highest position so the deck is lowest to the ground the front center roller bracket digs into the dirt to make it more difficult. Is there something I'm missing or is that just the way it is.

I moved your thread to the implements section. Post some pics of what your problem is.

Driveway makes it easier or use a jack and lift the front of the tractor a bit...

I've never read the directions but I believe you want to drop the deck wheels to the LOWEST position for them to carry the weight of the deck. That way, the center roller should be off the ground unless it's bent down.

From the manual. I assume that you did put the pins back in after you turned the wheels 90 degrees. If not the wheels are probably allowing the deck to drop too far.

Yes I put all pins in the same position on each wheel and the bracket that holds the center front roller on will just dig into the dirt. If I leave the wheels in the position I mow in and turn them 90 degrees the leveling bolts on top won't clear the mule drive. So what I'm saying is no matter what way I have it there's more tugging and effort to put the deck on and take off. Its not really a big deal to me but I thought I would get your guys opinions and see if I'm missing something.

All I can say is that they normally hold the deck and the center roller off the ground when you set them in the remove position. Some pics may help. Other than that I don't know what the problem is.

I don't think those decks will just roll out from under the tractor without raising the tractor up. None of mine will but I don't change the wheel settings.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
