Mower Decks with 3 Blades
1. Blades side to side
2. Sail area of blade
5. Measure between the outside cutting edges and
the flat surface (Figure 59 and Figure 60). If both
measurements are not within 3/16 inch (5 mm), an
adjustment is required; continue with this procedure.
6. Support the weight of mower deck by placing wood
blocks under the edges of the mower deck.
Note: Avoid placing the supports under any anti-scalp
rollers if present on the mower deck.
7. Move to the left side of the machine. Check if the
side carriage bolt is in the fixed or slotted position
(Figure 61).
8. If the side carriage bolt is in the fixed position, remove
the side carriage bolt and side locking nut from the
fixed position and install it into the slotted adjustment
position (Figure 61).
If the bolt is in the slotted position, the carriage bolt
and side locking nut do not need to be removed.

enough to allow the hanger to be adjusted (Figure 62).
Use the notches on the welded bracket to measure
the amount of adjustment. Each notch surface is
equivalent to 0.25 inch, while a single side is 0.125 inch
(Figure 63). Adjust the height of the mower deck to the
desired height.
