It covers aligning rock shaft arms, drill pins and locking rings, remounting the front wheel and spring tensioner, spacer placement, deck leveling, and the tricky belt reinstall. Useful for 2520 owners who already have this deck and need a practical reference for remounting it themselves.
Posted by Dan's Personal Channel, an owner filming their own equipment maintenance rather than a dealer or professional presentation.
Raise the rock shaft, turn wheels left, roll the mower to align rock shaft arms with connectors, then insert drill pins and locking rings until holes line up.
Three spacers on the bottom and one spacer on top on both sides worked for this setup.
Grab the tension rod bar with your right hand and pull it back while using your left hand to wrap the belt over the pulley at the same time.
Level the deck using the twist adjusters in the back, or by adjusting the front draft forward or backward.
