8.Raise the deck to the highest position. Recheck the blade measurements described in step 4. If the resultant measurements are not correct, repeat steps 5, 6 and 7 until the proper measurements are obtained.

NOTE

The front lift rod should be against the front of both slots in the deck front roller bracket. If one side of the rod is not against the front of the slot after attaining the correct front pitch to the deck, tighten the front lock nut on that side until the rod just contacts the front of the slot.

9.Tighten the rear jam nuts after adjustment of the front lift rod is completed.

10.Connect the spark plug wires if previously disconnected.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

Before making any adjustments, place the PTO switch in the “OFF” position, engage the brake pedal lock, turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position and remove the key from the switch.

To adjust the mower deck cutting height by raising or lowering the ball wheels, refer to Figure 62 and proceed as follows:

1.Move the tractor implement lift handle to the position that places the ball wheels slightly above or just contacting the surface below.

2.Remove the quick release pins from both the rear ball wheel spindles and the front ball wheel caster assemblies.

3.As necessary, raise or lower the tractor implement lift handle to place the mower deck at the desired cutting height.

4.Position the front castor brackets to align with the hole in the index spindles that allow the ball wheels to just contact the surface below. Reinstall the quick release pins to secure the castor brackets. Both castor brackets should be pinned in the same index spindle hole location.

5.Note the index spindle hole used for the front castor brackets and adjust the rear ball wheels to the corresponding hole in the rear index spindle. Remember the lowest index hole in the rear spindle corresponds to the highest index hole in the front castor spindle. All four ball wheels should be installed using the same relative index hole location in each spindle.

WARNING

When adjusting the mower deck, be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp blades.

NOTE

Cutting height adjustment should be performed only AFTER the mower deck has been properly leveled. Place the tractor on a firm, level surface and check for proper tire inflation.

When using the 48" mower deck, all four ball wheels should contact the ground. Therefore the cutting height is adjusted by raising or lowering the ball wheels. When adjusting the cutting height take note of the following:

•The highest holes in the index spindle for the front ball wheels correspond to the low- est cutting height for the mower deck.

•The lowest holes in the index spindle for the rear ball wheels correspond to the lowest cutting height for the mower deck.
