Anybody know where I can find a service manual for a RC48-G20S mower deck? They seem to be discontinued. Thanks in advance, Roger

I had a few minutes to look at it again this evening. All of the pins now move back into their hole when pressed. They did not do that before. Even when I tried to move them with vice-grips (carefully). Sprayed everything with Kroil again. Stay tuned. Roger

Good morning Hugo, I went back out this morning to take some more pictures. Looking at it directly from the side I see that there are actually 4 pins. 2 in the U-joint housing and two in the rotating collar. The pictures from the left side show the collar rotated to different positions. And...

Will do. Thanks again. Regards, Roger

Currently the seat switch is not working. The switch checks out fine so I am looking for the 3x2 connector which mates the switch, fuel pump and sensor, etc. into the rest of the wire harness. Anyone know where it is located? I'm trying not to tear the tractor apart looking for it :). Thanks...

Thank you all! I will crawl under there, clean it off, and look again. Roger
