Perfect video. Great audio, good angles, no dumb music, and you show exactly what it takes. Thank you so much.

[@DIYJIM]

Welcome thanks for watching

[@steveforbes7718]

This is a very well done video. The camera work and explanations of what needs to be done was exemplary. Also, no goofy music to ruin things. I would not be surprised it Husqvarna were to make use of this video for training purposes it is so well done.
I am very well experienced in mechanics and engineering and this gave me everything that I wanted to know in advance of doing this project. There are no surprises that will make me utter certain impolite expletives toward the manufacturer, this time. LOL
Thank you very much for a well done video.

[@DIYJIM]

Glad you like it, thanks for watching

[@sandysue202]

I agree and I have watched several videos on how to do this!!

[@albinoni2002]

Thanks so much for making this video. I've got to remove the deck from my YTH (same model) because the blades have to be changed and the bolts are frozen. You laid out all the steps in a very clear way.

[@DIYJIM]

Glad I could help thanks for commenting

[@SouthFLSteve]

Thanks for this video! I just got my tractor a few months ago and unfortunately hit a root today that bent one of the blades. I don't have a jack or ramps so I'll need to take off the deck to replace the blade. Your video gave me the confidence to try this repair myself saving me a big hassle and expense.

[@DIYJIM]

glad I could help if you would like to see any other videos just ask maybe I could make it

[@thehive3d464]

Just bought a YTH18542. Definitely helped with changing the blades over to the mulching blades. Nice clear explanation, Jim! Thanks!

[@DIYJIM]

Your welcome

[@kittysweetkitty5626]

Jim, When I do this task, the part of removing the spring mechanism that engages the blade, I find easy is to unscrew the mounting bracket on the top of the mower deck, then the spring comes off easy too. Thank you for your videos, I am saving all the links in a folder for future reference.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching and saving my videos.

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

Cardboard to prevent the bottom of the deck getting scratched! Haha God made us all to be unique. Very informative video Thank you.

[@DIYJIM]

It was my neighbors mower, thanks for watching

Thank you Jim! I have been scouring the web for months trying to learn how to lower/disconnect the deck of my Husqvarna. Thanks to you, doing the work myself, I should be able to save lots of money in replacing the drive belt. Keep up the good work, and thanks!

[@DIYJIM]

Glad to help

[@thomasdonnelly5757]

Those clips are called Bow Tie Lock Cotter Pins. Nice clear video.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching

[@jerrymontalbano3222]

They are also referred to by many as "butterfly cotter pins".

[@deborahwensel4575]

Thank you for this video. I’m a single lady and I was able to follow your instructions. Hardest part was that clip on the cable. I don’t have strong fingers, so getting that through the whole was tough and took longer than everything else combined. Now that I’ve done it once, I’m sure the next time will be easier.

[@DIYJIM]

Glad I could help, thanks for watching

[@chargermopar]

I know those clips as bow tie locking cotters. Great instructional video as always from you!

Oh crap, glad I could help

Thanks Jim. My neighbor just drove up with one for me to service and changes the blades. This will save me time, and frustration - especially with that wire sheath clip!

Excellent video on how to remove the deck. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks, will do!

[@tracykingston9668]

An outstanding video with great photography. Just a tip for anyone doing this. I have several
different colors of fingernail polish that I use to mark linkages and their corresponding connections for making reassembly easier. Also works for wiring , screws, etc to take guesswork out of reassembly. Just a little dab on each piece , and dries very fast and is permanent. I get the loudest colors and at dollar stores. I get pink, blue , red, yellow, green, white, and anything else that is conspicuous.

[@ryanhill6442]

I have the YTH18542 Husqvana and I suppose it's similar. Excellent, as it goes into details that Husqvana doesn't want you to know so that in order to buy additional warranties, parts there, etc. I/We can't thank you enough JIM. YOU make DIY easy.😀

[@DIYJIM]

Welcome thanks for watching

[@digitalbrick]

After removing the clips and belt you should slide it out to the right side - not the left side. Then the spring will be accessible and so much easier to release the clip. Also the spring with the hook - the hook must have the open end up.

[@DIYJIM]

I’ll try that next time thanks

[@dbohler8640]

Thanks Kent. Was struggling there too

[@time2cclear]

i hit a little stump today and it knocked my belt off . question : do i just drop deck without totally removing it to put the belt back on ? i am a dummy and this stuff is new to me . thanks to anyone that can answer me back .

[@time2cclear]

oh also , do i need to adjust or tighten the belt in any way ?

[@jerrykennedy7781]

It was easier than I thought. In fact I had to take apart a 2nd time because the belt was bad and I didn't know it until I got everything back together. 😩

[@janicerecord5982]

Thank you for explaining to push down on the cable piece, instead of squeezing it, to get it to come out. It made all the difference, and not how some others say to do it.

[@DIYJIM]

Glad I could help, I try to make all my videos easier for others, thanks for watching

Thank you, excellent job of showing us how to do the job!

Did a quick search and found this .awesome video. Thanks heaps. Doing a big service on mine today and this made life so easy

[@DIYJIM]

Glad it helped

[@bmacdonald5137]

Perfect! TIp about cardboard is a great idea. Once the housing was down, I used a pencil to trace the ends of the housing on the cardboard then put some strips of tape on the paved laneway to indicate where the initial position of the cardboard was so that when I slid the cardboard back for re-installation after changing my blades the housing was in the exact right spot to hook up all the supports.

[@DIYJIM]

Awesome idea, thanks for watching

[@tjanesz]

Jim, best video ever, very through, excellent video, no questions. You are the MAN!

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks again!

[@JohnBGood-kq3ul]

Thanks. I appreciate how you just get into the tutorial without a long introduction like some others.

[@DIYJIM]

Welcome thanks for watching

[@bd8476]

Well done video. Explained every step and showed it as well. My only suggestion is to zip tie the spring wire To the frame after the clip upper clip. My upper clip broke and the spring cable got caught in the belt. When I replaced it I made sure it was more secure. In any case great job on this video

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip

[@jerrymontalbano3222]

Absolutely. I had to zip tie the cable as well because plastic on the mower's tie down was "bound to break" and get in the way.

[@Terp-Titan-bt5dw]

You made taking the deck off a breeze. I get easily unmotivated with doing any mechanical repair or disassembly work. I tend to forget where I put parts and have to re reference constantly to get things put back together.
This video made it simple as can be for a mechanical dummy like me. Thanks for the help.

Dude you're a beast. No pliers on those cotter pins.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks, not in as good of shape as I used to be.

[@Squad-pl7oo]

Good evening Jim I'm Brendon remove your non adjustable hanger and get your self an adjustable hanger cause your left side will raise higher than your right side and your cut will be uneven that won't be good. I don't know why Husqvarna can't put 2 adjuster hangers on their decks it's crazy take note of that.

[@DIYJIM]

Agree that was my neighbors

[@200cdl]

Where does one find this adjustable hanger?

[@36on22]

Agree. My mower is next to impossible to get level. Otherwise, it has been very reliable.

[@draghonblademorrow946]

I've found that putting a strong rubber band around the belt when you take it off the drive pulley helps to keep the belt from coming loose from the other pulleys. Keep looping the rubber band around the belt so it's nice and tight and then slide it towards the other pulleys to keep the belt in place. I didn't do that the first time and when I stood the deck up on its side for cleaning the belt just fell off all the other pulleys. This tip also makes it easier when putting the deck back under the mower and hooking it to the drive pulley.

[@DIYJIM]

thanks for the tip and thanks for watching
