Abstract

A latching assembly (100′, 100″) for operably coupling a cutting deck (50) to an equipment frame (60) of a riding lawn care vehicle (10) may include a pivot arm (300, 400), and a latch member (310, 410). The pivot arm (300, 400) and the latch member (310, 410) may each be pivotally coupled to each other. The pivot arm (300, 400) and the latch member (310, 410) may also cooperate with each other to affix the cutting deck (50) to the equipment frame (60) in each of a service position and a working position.
