convert pto type on jd freedom 42 deck

I have a John Deere LX255 mower with the standard 42" deck. Recently picked up a Freedom 42 inch deck for a great price on Craigslist, however am having trouble fitting it to the tractor. Did my homework before the purchase, and everything I saw indicated the deck is compatible with the LX255. However, deck appears to have been set up for the lever style PTO (engages directly with the belt tensioner), and I have the push button style PTO (requires belt to be tensioned to deck). Anybody know how to convert the deck for different styles of PTO? Local JD dealer has been completely useless. Any hints or tips gratefully received. Thanks!
