Raptor 52" Deck Installation Question

[bmiller]

Stepdad called asking me to come over and help him put his 52 inch deck back on his Hustler Model 931899 (s/n: 131323339). Seems his front height adjuster nut came off and dropped the whole deck on its nose while he was driving causing him to bend some stuff. When i got there he had all the bent stuff straightened out but he had lost track of how it is all supposed to bolt back up. I downloaded the parts manual on my phone and think i have that all figured out, but we cannot work out the order to attach the deck. We did the back hangars first and then couldn't get the front height adjuster/hangar to line up. Will try doing that first tomorrow and then the back hangars.

Just wondering if there are any manuals, photos, videos, posts ANYTHING that gives a guy a clue how to do it. The Hustler general maintenance manual and owner's manual are not helping.

Thanks!

Brad

Is your Raptor a SD or a standard Raptor?

I'm going to send you a photo of my SD60 deck from the side that may help you.

Thanks but that is a different style than the one i am working on. I'll take some photos tomorrow and add them to my thread.
