Gauge Wheels (Select Models)

The mower gauge wheels can be placed in several posi- tions 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:

PIVOTING GAUGE WHEELS

1.Remove the hair pin clip (A, B, Figure 46).

2.For upper position, install the pin (A) through the spindle above the bracket (C). For the lower position, push down on the top of the spindle, and install the hair pin clip (B) below the top of the bracket (C).

SLIDING BRACKET GAUGE WHEELS

1.Remove the nylock wing nut (A, Figure 47) from cap- screw (C). Slide out capscrew (C) from gauge wheel bracket (B). Change position of gauge wheel assem- bly to desired height.

2.Insert capscrew (C) through gauge wheel bracket (B) and gauge wheel assembly (D). Tighten nylock wing nut (A). Repeat steps 1 & 2 for all gauge wheels.

FIXED BRACKET GAUGE WHEELS

1.Remove the locknut (B, Figure 48), 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 locknut (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 57) on the j- hook (A) will adjust the deck into the greatest ground fol- lowing 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 49).

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 trac- tor lift arm (D). Install washer (E) and hair pin (F). Tighten jam nut (B).
