Deck Leveling
NOTE: Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing any deck leveling
adjustments. Refer to Tires for information regarding tire pressure.
Shut the engine off, remove the 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 27.

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 27.
5.
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-Back)
NOTE: Check the tractor's tire pressure before performing any deck leveling
adjustments. Refer to Tires on page 22 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.
Using a wrench, loosen the jam nut first, then raise or lower the front of deck
by turning hex nut on the front deck lift rod. See Figure 28.
6.
The deck is properly leveled when the front tip of the blade is 1⁄4" lower
than the rear tip. Tighten the jam nut to the hex nut on the front deck lift rod
when proper adjustment is achieved.
