A mower deck gauge wheel adjustment mechanism includes a support attached to a multi-blade mower deck having a vertical bore. A post is welded to a yoke holding a gauge wheel, and includes a plurality of horizontal grooves, and may be inserted through the vertical bore and positioned at a selected gauge wheel height. A horizontal latch hole may be provided through the support and has a diameter that overlaps the vertical bore. A latch may be inserted through the latch hole, with a first side that engages one of the horizontal grooves when the latch is pivoted downwardly to an engaged position.

A hood hinge mechanism having a pivot pin having a D-shaped cross sectional shape positioned within a recess. The hood and pin are pivotal to a position whereat the D-shaped cross section is oriented to pass through a slotted opening to the recess to thereby allow the hood to be removed or installed on the vehicle. A bracket coupled with the hood abuts a support member when the hood is pivoted to its fully open position such that the hood is held open by the weight of the hood and is generally blocked from being detached from the vehicle unless acted upon by an operator.
