Deck Rear Roller Adjustment
The rear rollers on the mower deck are not designed to carry the weight of the deck. The rear rollers should be adjusted to approximately 1/4" to 1/2" above the ground when the deck is moved to the desired cutting height.
Place the tractor on a smooth, flat surface, move the deck to the desired cutting height, and check the height of the rear rollers. If contacting the ground, or above 1/2" from the ground, adjust the rear rollers as follows:
46" Deck ONLY
The 46" deck roller assembly index bracket has three adjustment positions using either the bottom two holes, middle two holes, or top two holes.
•Support the roller assembly and remove the two self tapping screws from both the left and right roller index brackets.
•Position the roller assembly so that the rollers are ap- proximately 1/4" to 1/2" above the flat surface below. Align the nearest two index bracket holes with holes in the deck mounting brackets. See Figure 13.
•Secure the roller assembly with the four self tapping screws. See Figure 13.
