SECTION III. ADJUSTMENTS

DECK LEVELING ADJUSTMENTS

NOTE

Tractors built Mfg. Code 1K060G and after are

equipped with a deck downstop feature which

can be used to set the downstop position of the

mower deck.

The 48" and 54" mower decks are equipped with ground

following front caster wheels and are designed to be op-

erated with the caster wheels and rear rollers on the

ground. If the deck is being installed on a tractor

equipped with the downstop feature, the deck can be

suspended off the ground by utilizing the deck height

adjustment knob to set the downstop position. In either

case, to ensure an even cut on all types of terrain, the

mower deck should be properly leveled. The side to side

leveling procedure will result in the left and right blades

having corresponding cutting-edge-to ground measure-

ments within 1/16 inch of each other. Also, the cutting

blades will have a downward tilt toward the front of the

tractor of approximately 1/8 inch. To level the mower

deck, proceed as follows:

WARNING

Before making any adjustments, place the PTO

switch in the “OFF” position, engage the parking

brake lever, and turn the ignition key to the “OFF”

position. When adjusting the mower deck, be

careful not to cut yourself on the sharp blades.

A. SIDE TO SIDE LEVELING ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Check for proper tire inflation before checking

and/or making a leveling adjustment.

1. Position the tractor on a hard, level surface, and

use the tractor hydraulic lift system to raise the

deck to its highest position. Stop engine.

Figure 18

2. To prevent contact with the surface below, adjust

the front caster wheel arms and rear rollers to

their highest setting (lowest deck setting). Refer

to SETTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT.

3. Carefully rotate the outer cutting blades so that

they are positioned perpendicular to the tractor

frame (See Figure 18).

4. Referring to Figure 19, measure and record the

distance from the level surface to the outer-most

cutting edge of the right blade. Repeat this step

for the left blade. If the two blade heights are not

within 1/16 inch, the deck must be leveled. Note

whether the left blade had the larger or smaller

distance between the cutting edge and level sur-

face. If the two blade heights are within 1/16 inch,

proceed to FRONT TO BACK LEVELING.

Figure 19

5. Side to side leveling is attained by adjusting the

hex lock nut on the bottom of the LH lift rod,

located below the LH lift link (See Figure 20).

Figure 20

6. Turn the hex lock nut upward (tighten) on the

threads of the lift rod to raise the left side of the

mower deck. Turn the lock nut down (loosen) on

the lift rod threads to lower the left side of the

mower deck.

7. Recheck the measurements described in step 4.

If the blade measurements are not within 1/16

inch, repeat steps 4 and 6 until the correct mea-

surement is obtained.
