Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
Important: This cutting deck often cuts
approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) lower than a reel
cutting unit with the same bench setting. It may be
necessary to have these rotary cutting deck's bench
set 1/4 inch (6 mm) above that of reels cutting in
the same area.
Important: Access to the rear cutting units is
greatly improved by removing the cutting unit from
the tractor. Refer to removing the cutting deck from
the traction unit in the Maintenance Section.
1. Lower the cutting deck to the ground, stop the
engine, and remove the key from ignition switch.
2. Loosen the bolt securing each height-of-cut bracket
to the height-of-cut plate (front and each side)
(Figure 2).
3. Beginning with front adjustment, remove the bolt.

6. Position the tapped plate in line with the spacer.
7. Install the bolt finger tight.
8. Repeat steps 4–7 for each side adjustment.
9. Tighten all three bolts to 30 ft-lb (41 N-m). Always
tighten the front bolt first.
Note: Adjustments of more than 1-1/2 inches
(3.8 cm) may require temporary assembly to an
intermediate height to prevent binding (e.g. changing
from 1.25 to 2.75 inch (3.1 to 7 cm) height-of-cut).
Adjusting the Roller Scraper
(Optional)
The optional rear roller scraper is designed to work best
when there is an even gap of 0.020–0.040 inch (0.5 to 1
mm) between the scraper and roller.
1. Loosen the grease fitting and mounting screw
(Figure 4).
