Note: When using 25 mm (1 inch), 38 mm (1-1/2
inch), or occasionally 51 mm (2 inch) height of cut,
move the skids and gage wheels to the highest position.
Wing Mower Decks
To adjust the height of cut on the wing mower decks, add
or remove an equal number of spacers from the caster
forks, position the caster-wheel axles in the high or low
height-of-cut holes in the caster forks, and secure the pivot
arms to the selected height-of-cut bracket holes.
1. Position the caster-wheel axles in the same holes in all
of the caster forks

3. Shims
3. Install 2 shims onto the spindle shaft as they were
originally installed.
Note: These shims are required to achieve a level
across the entire width of the mower decks. Slide the
appropriate number of 13 mm (1/2 inch) spacers (refer
to the chart below) onto the spindle shaft to attain the
desired height of cut; then slide the washer onto the
shaft.
Refer to the following chart to determine the
combinations of spacers for the setting
