RK 24 MMM removal

[Redbusa]

I drilled out the MMM wheel holders so I could turn the wheels 90 degrees.
It was not the easiest job to pickup one corner to let the wheel drop out multiple times.
And as much as I tried to drill straight thru 3 of them were a little off center
which required file work and some die grinder with a burr work to get the pins to go thru.
But it's done now and makes moving the deck around much easier.
After the wheels were turned I moved it to a spot, and tipped it up so I could clean
out the underside.

Putting it back on for the first time was a learning curve for sure.
First I had put a cover over the PTO shaft and I forgot about it until
the deck was in place. Next time I will remove the cover BEFORE I roll
the deck in place.
The PTO collar has to be just right to get it to slide on the shaft and
slide into the locked position.
The front support was also tricky to get into the correct position.
But I finally got it all mounted and hopefully next time will be much better.

Here are a couple of pictures of the wheels turned - something the manufacturer should have done IMO.

So the wheels didn't have a hole in the shaft at 90 degrees
from the adjusting holes? Wow, thought that would be pretty
standard
