Lubrication
WARNING!
inspecting, always disengage PTO, set parking
brake, stop engine and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
Front Wheels
Each of the front wheel axles and rims is equipped with a grease
fitting. See Figure 6-4. Lubricate with a No. 2 multi-purpose
grease applied with a grease gun after every 25 hours of tractor
operation.
Pivot Points & Linkage
Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system, parking brake
and lift linkage at least once a season with light oil.
Deck Wheels
Each of the tractor deck's front gauge wheels is equipped with
a grease fitting. Lubricate with a No. 2 multi-purpose grease
applied with a grease gun after every 25 hours of tractor
operation.
Adjustments
WARNING!
ignition key and engage the parking brake before
making adjustments. Protect your hands by using
heavy gloves when handling the blades.
NOTE: Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing any
deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires in the Service section
for information regarding tire pressure.
Leveling the Deck (Front To Rear)
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" and 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 lever in the 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.
Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper
adjustment and proceed, if necessary.
1. To raise the front of the deck, tighten (thread inward) the
hex nut against the front hanger bracket. See Figure 6-5.
Figure 6-5
2. To lower the front of the deck, loosen (thread outward) the
hex nut, away from the front hanger bracket. See Figure
6-5.
Leveling the Deck (Side to 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 middle 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 not, proceed to the next step.
3. Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex bolt on the left deck
hanger bracket. See Figure 6-6.
4. Using a wrench, raise or lower the left side of the deck by
turning the adjustment gear. See Figure 6-6.
The deck is properly leveled when both blade tip measurements
taken in step 2 are equal. Retighten the hex bolt on the left deck
hanger bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.
