1. John Deere 160 Manual

I'm typing this from memory so I could be off a tad, but I did it for 20 years so it is close. I'll assume it is a 38' deck. Set deck height to lowest setting and lower deck 2.

On the right side of the deck is the PTO to deck tension lever. There is a nut you loosen to allow the lever to move. Should only take a couple of turns - no need to completely remove. Careful, it is under tension. Release the tension and remove the belt.

There are 4 attachment points for the deck to the tractor. 2 on each side. The lift arm attachment cotter pin is behind the lift arm and bracket so it is hard to see. The lift arm pin mounts outside to inside. The other point is outside and the arm goes from the deck to a pin on the side of the frame with a cotter pin and washer.

The front draft arms attach to the frame on the rod. Remove the 2 cotter pins and drive the rod out of the frame and draft arms. Turn the wheel full lock to the left and slide that bad boy out. Takes a little angling, usually bring the back side out first before the front draft rods. Have to go to supper. Hope this helps.
