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:

The deck roller assembly index bracket has five adjustment positions holes.

1.While supporting the roller assembly, remove click pin and withdraw the clevis pin from both the left and right roller index brackets. See Figure 6-7.

NOTE: The clevis pins should be in the corresponding holes of both the left and right roller index brackets.
