Deck Levelling - C Series Garden Tractor

The Cutter Deck should be set so that it is parallel to the surface it is cutting with a maximum variation from side to side, or front to back of 3mm. Check this by placing the tractor on a hard level surface and measuring the clearance heights front to back and side to side with a steel ruler or tape with the Cutter set one adjustment up from its lowest position.

If the Cutter Deck seems to require levelling, first check these other possible causes:

1.Are the tyres correctly inflated? – If not, rectify using the figures on the back page as a reference.

2.Are the Cutter Deck Hanger brackets (fig 19) moving freely or are they hitching up. To check this, lift the Cutter deck to its highest position and lift and rock it, watching to ensure that the brackets move freely – if not, clean and grease.

3.Is the front axle pivoting freely? – If not, clean and oil.

4.Is there any impact damage that has bent or distorted the Deck or Suspension Brackets (a matter for your dealer)?

If the Deck is still uneven then:

You need two people for this operation – one to lift the Deck while the other removes or relocates the Trunnion.

1.Ensure that the Anti-Scalp Wheels are all set to the same height – if not, rectify (fig 20).

2.Lower the Cutter Deck to a position one above the lowest setting – check levels with a ruler or tape at a position close to the front and rear anti-scalp wheels.

3.Now locate the Front to Back Adjustment Rod to the right near offside wheel, you will find the Trunnion (fig 19) that links the rod to the Deck Hanger Bracket. Both the Trunnion and the Rod are threaded and adjustment is achieved by rotating the Trunnion to ‘in-effect’ lengthen the Rod.

4.To free the Trunnion, use a 9/16" spanner or socket to remove the 3/8" Nyloc nut and washer and push it free.

5.Locate a block of wood underneath the front of the Cutter Deck to offer support.

6.Rotate the Trunnion to advance it up the Rod to lift the back of the Deck. Rotate it the other way to lift the front. Adjustment is rapid, so try one or two turns first and relocate the Trunnion Bracket and secure – then check the effect. Repeat and re-check if necessary.
