JD LT 160 Mower Installation Problem

19 years ago

Removing the mower from my LT 160 is a chore, but installing it is much more difficult for me. The tough part is getting the locking pin, with washer, back in the PTO engagement rod hole, have to be a contortionist to reach up there. Is there any procedure that will make this easier to accomplish ?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I always use my cherry picker(engine hoist) to lift mine up ...never used it before I bought this riding mower of mine infact I was thinkin' of sellin' it.....they do sell a hoist for lifting riding mowers...but I think if you can buy or borrow a cherry picker off a neighbour your ahead of the game...I'd been lost without my hoist....you can lift the back or front end up as high as you need to makes everything you need to under there quite handy....just my 2 cents worth....

ampa; thanks for the information, good idea. I'm going to look for some type of hoist.
