Deck Roller Height Adjustment, Seat Adjustment

measurements taken should be equal. If they’re not, proceed to the next step.

•Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger bracket. See Figure 10B.

•Balance the deck by using a wrench to turn the adjustment gear (found immediately behind the hex cap screw just loosened) clockwise/up or counterclockwise/down.

•The deck is properly balanced when both blade tip measurements taken earlier are equal.

•Retighten the hex cap screw on the left deck hanger bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.

DECK ROLLER HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the height of the rollers on the rear of the mowing deck, proceed as follows:

•Place the deck lift lever in the bottom notch (lowest position).

•Remove the clevis pins and hairpin clips from the deck roller brackets on the left and right sides of the cutting deck. See Figure 11.

•Position the deck roller brackets up or down through the slots on the rear of the deck until desired position is reached, then re-attach with the clevis pins and hairpin clips just removed. See Figure 11.

NOTE: Be certain that the left roller bracket and the right roller bracket are set in the same position.

PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

Never attempt to adjust the brakes while the engine is running. Always disengage PTO, move shift lever into neutral position, stop engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.

If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor’s rear wheels can roll with the parking brake applied, the brake is in need of adjustment. The brake disc can be found on the right side of the transmission in the rear of the tractor. Adjust if necessary as follows:

•Looking at the transmission from the right side of the tractor, locate the compression spring and brake disc.

•Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex nut found on the right side of the brake assembly.

•Using a feeler gauge, set the gap between the brake disc and the brake puck at 0.011inches.

•Re-tighten the hex nut loosened earlier.

STEERING ADJUSTMENT

If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the other, or if the ball joints are being replaced due to damage or wear, the steering drag links may need to be adjusted.

Adjust the drag links so that equal lengths are threaded into the ball joint on the left side and the ball joint on the right side:

•Loosen the jam nut found on the drag link at the rear of the ball joint. See Figure 13.

•Remove the hex nut and lock washer on the top of ball joint. See Figure 13.

•Thread the ball joint toward the jam nut to shorten the drag link. Thread the ball joint away from the jam nut to lengthen the drag link.

•Replace hex nut and lock washer and retighten the jam nut after proper adjustment is achieved.

NOTE: Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag links will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper toe-in is between 1/16" and 5/16".
