When sliding the deck back in I usually have the shaft together and the weight holds the plastic chute down so the spring doesn't flip it up making it tough to roll deck under. Once you clear the frame and are just about to line the horizontal slide pins into their holes connect the driveshaft to the pto box and that lets the chute flip up just that extra inch to line up with the pto blower. It actually becomes a very simple process if you do it in the right order
Also I like to use a good silicone spray lube on the spring collar and the balls that retain the shaft onto the pto box shaft. I find it to be the best at keeping it free and easy to disengage. I use same lube on the top of the park brake pins where the springs are on top of gearbox's and any other area that doesnt have zerks like throttle cable park brake cable etc.
Nice repair and thank you for the video sir 👍😎🇺🇸
Thanks for uploading...must now remember to check the front wheels grease points on mine

My bearings went out on my Ferris caster wheels, and I replaced them with the sealed bearings about 3 years ago. So far they are still in good repair
NO GREASE 😮
