Deck Belt Installation

pulley located on the engine shaft.
2. Route the belt forward and up onto the deck.

pulley.
4. Wrap the belt around the stationary idler
pulley and around the mandrel housings.
5. Push inward on the idler arm and carefully
route the belt over the stationary idler pulley.
Once the belt is properly routed, slowly
release the idler arm to tension the belt.

decal and that the belt does not have twists.
7. Tighten the belt guide and replace the belt
shields on both mandrel housings.
Adjusting the Mower Deck
Leveling deck
Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level
surface. Make sure the tires are inflated to
the correct pressure. See Technical Data /
Transmission. If tires are under or over inflated,
the deck cannot be correctly adjusted. Raise the
deck to the highest (transport) position. The deck
must be adjusted slightly higher in the rear.
NOTE: To insure the precision of the leveling
procedure, the mower deck drive belt must be
installed before leveling the deck.
This will position the mower deck in a standard
measurement position. Depending on the type of
grass being mowed or environmental conditions,
additional adjustments may be required to get the
desired cut.

1. Wear heavy gloves. Turn each blade tip to
align with the deck side-to-side.
2. Measure from the floor surface up to the
bottom of the blade tip on the discharge side
of the mower deck. Record the measurement.
3. Move to the opposite side, check that
measurement is the same. If adjustment is
required, turn the lift link adjustment nuts
on either side counter clockwise to lower
or clockwise to raise. Adjust until both
measurements are equal.
4. Turn either blade to align with the deck front-
to-rear. If the front blade tip does not measure
1/8" to 1/2" higher in the rear—with a 5/8" or
adjustable wrench, turn the nuts on the front
suspension linkage. Clockwise raises the front
of the mower, counter clockwise will lower the
front. Adjust nuts until rear of mower deck is
positioned level to 1/8" higher in the rear than
the side-to-side measurement.
