The mower deck must be removed from 
the lawn tractor to install the mulching kit. 
Refer to deck removal and installation 
instructions in the owner’s manual or shop 
manual. 
Installation requires drilling an additional 
bolt hole.  For your safety, wear eye 
protection when operating power tools. 
1. 
Remove the blade, blade holder, and 
the protector plate (and lower chute 
if 
equipped with grass-bagging kit).  Use 
a wooden block 
to 
prevent the blades 
from 
turning when removing the bolts. 
Do 
not remove the discharge chute.

The deck must be free of dents and

if 
installing on a used deck.
