# How to Remove the Deck on a Sears Riding Mower
Sears riding lawn mowers use a cutting deck that hangs between the tires to cut grass. This deck is removable, if needed. When the deck is removed, you can do many things. You can replace the deck belt or even race lawn mowers in one of many designated lawn mowers racers located across the country. When removing the deck, you will not need any tools as Sears designed the deck to come off using only your hands.
