Easily removable mower cutting deck

Abstract

A rotary cutting deck is suspended from the frame of a lawn mower to hang beneath the frame of the mower between the front and rear ground engaging wheels of the mower. A single front pull arm is pinned by a pivot pin to the front of the cutting deck. This pivot pin can be easily released and pulled by removing a single hairclip pin or cotter pin. The rear of the cutting deck is hung by two downwardly facing suspension hooks onto the cross rod of a pivotal hanger. After the front pull arm is disconnected from the front of the cutting deck, the operator lifts up the rear of the cutting deck to unhook the suspension hooks, pulls the cutting deck slightly rearwardly, and then lowers the cutting deck to the ground to allow the cutting deck to be slid out from underneath the mower after also removing any deck drive belt or similar cutting blade drive system. This can be easily and quickly done.
