Deck
NOTE: Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing
any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires for information
regarding tire pressure.
WARNING! ignition key and engage the parking brake before
making adjustments. Protect your hands by using
heavy gloves when handling the blades.
Leveling the Deck (Side-to-Side)
NOTE: Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing any
deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires for information regarding
tire pressure. Always level the deck side to side before front to rear.
If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side-to-
side adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the
deck lift handle in a middle mowing position and rotate both
outside blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.
2. Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade
tip to the ground and the distance from the outside of the
right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken
should be equal. If they're not, proceed to the next step.
3. Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex bolt on the rear left
deck hanger link. See Figure 6-4.

NOTE: The rear right deck hanger link is not adjustable and
is used to help adjust the other hanger links.
4. Using a wrench, raise or lower the left side of the deck by
turning the adjustment gear. See Figure 6-4.
The deck is properly leveled when both blade tip measurements
are equal. Retighten the hex bolt on the front left deck hanger
bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.
Leveling the Deck (Front-To-Rear)
NOTE: Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing
any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires for information
regarding tire pressure. Always level the deck side-to-side before
front-to-rear.
The front of the deck should be between 1⁄4-3⁄8" lower than the
rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:

1. Park the tractor on a firm, level surface and place the deck
lift handle in a middle position.
2. Rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is
parallel with the tractor.
3. Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the
ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground. The
first measurement taken should be between 1⁄4" and 3⁄8" less
than the second measurement.
4. Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper
adjustment and proceed, if necessary.
5. To raise the front of the deck, remove the end cap, loosen
the outer nut then tighten (thread inward) the nut against
the front hanger bracket. See Figure 6-5. When proper
adjustment is achieved, re-tighten the outer nut and
replace the end cap.

6. To lower the front of the deck, remove the end cap, loosen
the outer nut then loosen (thread outward) the nut, away
from the front hanger bracket. See Figure 6-5. When proper
adjustment is achieved, re-tighten the outer nut and
replace the end cap.
Deck Wheels
WARNING!:
Keep hands and feet away from the
discharge opening of the cutting deck.
NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and
are not designed to support the weight of the cutting deck.
The deck wheels should be approximately 1⁄4-1⁄2" above the
ground when the deck is set in the desired height setting. To
adjust the deck wheels see the Assembly & Set-Up section for
instructions.
