Leveling the Mower

NOTE: Tractor and mower should be on level ground.

1.Set lower hitches and upper floating hitch, as shown below in Figure 3-1.

2.Start tractor and raise mower, watching that tractor draw bar (if not removed) does not interfere with mower.

3.Slowly lower mower until gauge wheels touch the ground and the lower mower 3-point hitch bars are parallel to the ground in floating position. Set tractor 3-point stop.

4.Set park brake and turn off tractor. Remove key from ignition.

5.Rotate blades parallel to direction of travel as shown in Figure 3-2below.

6.Measure clearance from the cutting edge to the ground at front and rear of the blade. This measurement should be equal or have the blade at the front of the mower not more than 1/2" lower than the blade at the rear of the mower.

Cutting Height Adjustment

Refer to Figure 3-1:

1.Using the tractor, raise the mower off the ground and support under it with secure blocking so not to let the mower drift down during maintenance.

2.Holding wheel and yoke assembly up, remove quick-lock pin from top of gauge wheel spindle.

3.Position 1” spacers, 1/2” spacer and 1/4” spacers as required. All spacers on top of spindle tube allows for approximately 3/4" cutting height. Adjustments range from 3/4" to a maximum of 3-1/4" in 1/4" increments.

Refer to “Leveling the Mower” beginning on this page.
