Leveling the Deck
NOTE:
Check the tractor's tire pressure before
performing any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to
Tires on page 23 for information regarding tire pressure.
Front To 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. Loosen the two jam nuts, if present, on the rear side
of the deck stablilizer bracket.
6. Locate the two lock nuts on the front side of the
stabilizer bracket. See Figure 12. Tighten the lock
nuts to raise the font of the deck; loosen the
locknuts to lower the front of the deck.
7. Retighten the two jam nuts loosened earlier when
proper adjustmen is achieved.
