USING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT KNOB
NOTE
Tractors built Mfg. Code 1K060G and after are
equipped with a height adjustment knob which
can be used to set the downstop position of the
mower deck.
A full rotation of the height adjustment knob equals ap-
prox. a 1/4 inch adjustment in the deck height setting.
There are four detent positions per rotation. Initially set
the deck downstop as follows (See Figure 23):
1. To remove the weight of the deck from the down-
stop arm, use the tractor lift system to raise the
deck.
2. Fully lower the deckstop by continuously turning
the height adjustment knob counterclockwise.
3. Use the tractor lift system to lower the deck to the
desired height setting, then turn the adjustment
knob clockwise until it stops turning freely. Turn
the knob to nearest detent position.

4. Reposition the gauge wheels so that they are
appoximately 1/2 inch above the ground.
5. For subsequent minor adjustments from this posi-
tion, use the tractor lift system to raise the deck,
then turn the adjustment knob as necessary to at-
tain the desired height setting (one full turn equals
approximately 1/4").
