is running,
except
where specified
in the operator's
manual.
Levelingthe Deck
NOTE: Check the tractor's
tire pressure before performing
any
deck leveling adjustments.
Refer to Tires in the Service section
of
this manual for more information
regarding
tire pressure.
Front ToRear
The front of the cutting
deck is supported
by a stabilizer
bar that
can be adjusted
to level the deck from front to rear. The front of
the deck should
be between
1/4-inch and %-inch lower than the
rear of the deck. Adjust
if necessary as follows:
1.
With the tractor
parked on a firm, level surface, place the
lever for lifting
the platform
on the second to the top notch
(second highest
position)
and rotate the blade as close to
the discharge
channel
that is parallel
to the tractor.
2.
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
%" less than the second measurement.
Determine
the
approximate
distance
necessary for proper adjustment
and
proceed,
if necessary, to the next step.
3.
On some models:
Locate the jam nut and lock nut on
the front side of the stabilizer
bracket.
Others have just a
flange nutas
seen in Figure 6-4.
Figure 6-4
After loosening
the jam nut (on some models):
Tighten
the lock nut to raise the front of the deck;
Loosen the lock nut to lower the front of the deck.
4.
Retighten
the jam nut loosened
earlier when proper
adjustment
is achieved.
Sideto Side
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 lever in the second from the top notch (second
highest position) and rotate both 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 cap screw on the left
deck hanger bracket. See Figure 6-5.
Hex Cap Screw
Figure 6-5
4.
Balance the deck by using a wrench
to turn the adjustment
gear (found immediately
behind the hex cap screw just
loosened) clockwise/up
or counterclockwise/down.
The deck is properly
balanced
when both blade tip
measurements
taken earlier are equal.
5.
Retighten
the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger
bracket when proper adjustment
is achieved.
Seat Adjustment

or if the tractor's
rear wheels
can roll with the parking
brake applied,
the brake is in need of
adjustment.
See an authorized
MTD Service Dealer to have your
