[@mattspencer9538]

Excellent! I have a 265 and it comes off the same way as yours. Thanks for being thorough.

[@jimgreene4417]

Turning the wheels all the way to the left makes it easier to slide the deck in or out! Thanks for this!

How do you adjust the mower deck height. I found the adjustment screw on the right side, where is the other adjustment screw. Need help. Please reply

[@l98ster]

Thanks for the video. I just picked up a 240 at a yard sale and its great so far. Do you know if there is a way of adjusting the brakes. I took it apart and saw that the shoes have plently left, however, I have no brakes??? Is there some type of adjustment???

[@gregsz1ful]

Been trying to figure hole positions. Just found out I have no front rollers looking at video. Thats why there are extra holes LOL. I cant go higher than 3 inch cutting height. There are also other hole positions for the two front links which I wonder why, and also see them on other mowers.

[@timmaloy2770]

Don't forget to remove the lift links from the rockshaft.
