The instructions to do that are in the operators manual if you have one. It is not too complicated and involves loosening some nuts on the linkage holding the mower up at the sides and at the front. If you mean just to lower the deck to mow at a certain level there should be a large lever mounted on the side of the mower with adjusting notches for setting the cutting height.

It is dependent on model, most are:

Slide deck under tractor, (might have to remove front adapter)

slide deck forward (reinstall front adapter, if removed), slide belt on.

Sit in front of tractor, push deck back with legs, during this, engage front adapter to frame.

(hard part is done)

Set lifting mechanism to lowest setting, engage float arms.

Engage rear stabilizer.

Double check all cotter pins and guards.

Actuate lifting arms to verify operation.

Remove bystanders, mount tractor and test blade engagement.

Start engine and engage.

There are too many possible answers to that question since there are many many Craftsman mowers. Please ask again with the mower model number.

How do you remove deck from John Deere lx178?

You first need to set the mower deck setting at high noon to read "blank". More or less between the 1" and 3.5" setting. Then pull deck release arm to allow for the deck to drop to the ground. Once locked into the down position, you need to release the U locks(that are spring loaded) located on the back half, and on both sides of the mower deck. This will allow for the arms that you have unlocked to be retracted up for clearance later. After that you must release the tension bar for the belt pulleys located on top of mower deck, left hand side, and remove the belt connected to the engine pulley located towards the front. After that, you must unlatch the front U-bar from the mower deck. After this is completed. Pull the mower Deck ARM back up, to the position normal for traveling. This will give you clearance to slide the mower deck out from the right side (chute side).

What is a drop longboard?

It could mean two things, a drop down deck, or just drop deck, which means the foot platform is lower then the truck mounting. For example the Rayne Nemesis, or Landyachtz Evo. Or it could mean a drop through deck, which means the trucks are mounted on top and the hangers extend through the board. For Example the Rayne Hellcat, or Landyatchz Drop Speed.You can also combine the two to have a drop down drop through mounting board, or double drop. The Rayne Demonseed incorporates both of theseThe point of both these types of longboards is increased stability at speed, an added bonus of the drop down deck is it makes a "gas pedal" as its called, which simply means the slope in the wood from the foot platform to the truck mounting helps lock in your feet while sliding and tucking at speed.Look up pictures of the boards I mentioned above, a picture can explain far more simply then I can.
