Leveling The Mower

If the cut is uneven, the mower may need leveling. Unequal or improper tire pressure may also cause an uneven cut. Make sure tire pressure is correct as speci- fied in Checking Tire Pressure.

1.With the mower installed, place the tractor on a smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn the front wheels straight forward.

2.Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.

3.Disengage the PTO. Place the mower in mid-cut position. Arrange one of the mower blades so that it is pointing from side-to-side.

4.Measure the distance between the outside tips of each blade and the ground. If there is more than 1/8” (3mm) difference between the measurements on each side, proceed to step 5. If the difference is 1/8” (3mm) or less, proceed to step 6.

5.See Figure 36. Loosen the outside nut (A). Turn the eccentric nut (B) to raise or lower left-hand side of mower. When mower is level, hold the eccentric nut while tightening the outside nut.

6.Arrange the blades so they face front-to-back.

7.Measure the distance from the ground to front tip and rear tip of the left and right-hand blades.

Front tips should be 1/8”-1/4” higher. If not, proceed with steps 8 - 10.

8.See Figure 37. To raise front of mower deck, loosen front nut (A) and turn rear nut (B) against bracket (C).

9.To lower front of mower deck, loosen rear nut (B) and bracket (C) will move backwards to lengthen rod.

10.Re-check measurement before tightening front nut

(A)against bracket.
