Deck Rear Roller Adjustment
The rear rollers on the mower deck are not designed to
carry the weight of the deck. The rear rollers should be
adjusted to approximately 1/4" to 1/2" above the ground
when the deck is moved to the desired cutting height.
Place the tractor on a smooth, flat surface, move the deck
to the desired cutting height, and check the height of the
rear rollers. If contacting the ground, or above 1/2" from
the ground, adjust the rear rollers as follows:
46" Deck ONLY
The 46" deck roller assembly index bracket has three
adjustment positions using either the bottom two holes,
middle two holes, or top two holes.
• Support the roller assembly and remove the two self
tapping screws from both the left and right roller index
brackets.
• Position the roller assembly so that the rollers are ap-
proximately 1/4" to 1/2" above the flat surface below.
Align the nearest two index bracket holes with holes in
the deck mounting brackets. See Figure 13.
• Secure the roller assembly with the four self tapping
screws. See Figure 13.
NOTE: The self tapping screws should be in the
corresponding holes of both the left and right roller index
brackets.
