Leveling theDeck
NOTE:
Check the tractor's tire pressure before
performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to
Tires on page 26 for information regarding tire pressure.
FrontTo Rear
The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer
bar that can adjusted to level the deck from front to rear.
The front of the deck should be between 1/4-inch and
3/8-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 deck lift lever in the top notch (highest
position) and rotate the blade nearest the discharge
chute so that it is parallel with 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.
3. 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, to the
next step.
5. From the front of the tractor, loosen the outermost
hex lock nut on the end of the deck hanger rod. See
Figure 12.
6. Tighten the inner hex nut front against the front
hanger bracket to raise the front of the deck; loosen
the hex nut to lower the front of the deck. See
Figure 12.
