If you pull the pins off the eye bolts in the front and the pins off the slotted brackets in the rear, you can take off the mower and leave the under carriage. Pull the mower out the side.

Sounds like a great deal. I have a lot of cub cadets, from the orginal up to the 169. I believe that the Cub Cadet's made by International Harvester were the best garden tractors ever made.

Lower the deck to where the wheels are touching the ground.

Pull the two pins out at the rear of the deck (The rear of the deck will be free)

Push the mower deck forward until it drops off the front forks.

Raise the bare hanger.

Turn the tractor wheels all the way to the left.

Slide the deck out from under the tractor from the right side.

If you have the first style, pull the cotter pins or hair pins in the front eye bolts and on the back eyelets and slip mower off the pins, leaving the mule drive attatched to the tractor. The other instructions below are if it has been converted to the later quick attach deck.

thanks for all the help to get the mower deck off. i pulled the pins out of the front eye bolts and pulled out the pins at rear slotted brakets the mower came out with a little help i'm sure it will be a lot easier to put back on. i am trying to put a snow blade on it now but i don't have all the parts i will make it work i have it mounted now but i need to make a handle to raise the blade i have an old handle from a sears blade i think i can make that work i hope again thanks for the replys
