This will assure that the height will not move during the setting
process. Otherwise, spring pressure from the deck lift springs will
tend to pull the stop away from the handle.
6. Loosen all nuts on the deck lift threaded rods, and the hardware on
the adjuster (on the right front), until all the deck lift chains are
loose, and the deck is sitting tightly on all four blocks. Fig. 11-35,
11-36, 11-37
7. Loosen the two nuts on the front of height indicator so that the foot
pedal is free. Fig. 11-38
8. Start the leveling process on the left front of the tractor.
9. Set the amount of threads protruding on the deck lift rod from the lift
block at approximately 1". Fig. 11-39
10. Jam both nuts against the block.
11. Push or pull on the deck lift foot pedal until the chain on the left
front just becomes tight, making sure that the deck stays tight against
the 3" block.
12. While keeping the chain tight, tighten the nuts against the deck lift
block on the height indicator rod. Fig. 11-38
13. Go to the right front of the tractor.
14. Loosen the 5/16" jam nut on the adjuster lift chain (11-37), and back
the adjuster bolt out to allow the adjuster to move up and down
freely.
15. Be sure that adjuster is free to move up and down.
16. Tighten the adjuster bolt until the chain just becomes tight, making
sure that the deck stays tight against the 3" block.
17. Tighten the adjuster bolt jam nut to prevent the adjuster bolt from
