Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service
WARNING
Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine,
remove the key, and allow all moving parts to
stop.
CAUTION
DO NOT remove the mower deck baffles. The
baffles help prevent grass clippings from becoming
airborne and plugging up the engine cooling fins.
Mower Adjustments
Gauge Wheels (Select Models)
The mower gauge wheels can be placed in several
positions depending on the height of cut. When using
higher cutting heights, set the wheels in the lower
position. When using lower cutting heights, set the
wheels in the upper position. To adjust:
1. Remove the Iocknut (B, Figure 36), gauge wheel (C),
washers (D), and shoulder bolt (E). Change position
of gauge wheel to desired height.
2. Insert shoulder bolt (E) through washers (D) gauge
wheel (C), and gauge wheel bracket (A). Secure with
Iocknut (B). Repeat steps 1 & 2 for all gauge wheels.

Transport Height & Ground Following
Adjustment (Select Models)
The transport height and ground following ability can be
adjusted. Raising the trunnion (C, Figure 37) on the j-
hook (A) will adjust the deck into the greatest ground
following ability and the lowest transport position, when
the deck is lowered. Lowering the trunnion on the j-hook
will give the highest transport position and decrease the
deck's ground following ability, when the deck is lowered.
1. Loosen jam nut (B, Figure 37).
2. Remove the hair pin (F) and washer (E) from trunnion
(C).
3. Remove the trunnion (C), j-hook (A) and jam nut (B)
from tractor lift arm (D).
4. Turn trunnion (C) up or down to adjust height.
5. Place trunnion (C), j-hook (A) and jam nut (B) in
tractor lift arm (D). Install washer (E) and hair pin (F).
