Adjusting the Gauge Wheels
WARNING
Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of the cutting
deck.
NOTE: The deck gauge wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and
are not designed to support the weight of the cutting deck.
The mower deck cutting height can be set using the tractor's deck lift
pedal. The deck heights range from 1" to 4". The deck gauge wheel
position should be approximately 1⁄4 to 1⁄2" above the ground when
the deck is set in the desired height setting.
Using the lift pedal, set the deck in the desired height setting, then
check the gauge wheel distance from the ground below. If necessary,
adjust as follows:
1.
Visually check the distance between the front gauge wheels and
the ground. If the gauge wheels are near or touching the ground,
they should be raised. If more than 1⁄2" above the ground, they
should be lowered.
2.
Remove the lock nut securing one of the front gauge wheel
shoulder screws to the deck. Remove the gauge wheel and hex
screw. Refer to Figure 35.

3.
Insert the hex screw into the one of three index holes in the front
gauge wheel bracket that will give the gauge wheel a 1⁄4" to 1⁄2"
clearance with the ground.
4.
Note the index hole of the just adjusted wheel, and adjust the
other gauge wheels into the respective index holes of the other
gauge wheel brackets on the deck.

Deck Removal
The muffler at the rear of the tractor may be extremely hot, and could
cause serious burns. Use extreme caution when near the muffler. Allow
the muffler to fully cool before removing the belt from the PTO pulley.
Remove the mower deck from the tractor as follows:
1.
Apply the parking brake. Remove ignition key and both spark plug
caps.
2.
Place the deck lift pedal in the lowest mowing position and
replace the pin in front of pedal in the deck height bracket to
secure it in place.
NOTE: There is a certain amount of spring tension due to the weight of the
deck. When removing the lift linkage from the deck the tension of the springs
will go from the deck to the deck lift pedal. Not capturing the deck lift pedal
while removing the lift linkage from the deck will cause it to snap back.
3.
Reduce the tension on the PTO belt by moving the idler arm
lever toward the back of the tractor, then remove the belt from the
pulley. See Figure 36.
