Level Cutter Decks
Make adjustments with cutter hooked to the tractor
operating it or to one with the same drawbar height.
Level Center Deck
Refer to Figure 2-2:
1. Attach cutter to tractor and park on level ground.
2. Raise the wing up and lock into position with
transport lock (#3) and hairpin cotter (#1) as shown.
See
“Transport Lock”
on page 36 for detailed
instructions.
Refer to Figure 2-3:
3. With tractor hydraulics, adjust center deck until front
skids (#7) are 2 to 3 inches above ground.
4. Without changing deck height, shut tractor down
properly before dismounting. Refer to “Tractor
Shutdown Procedure”
on page 19.
5. On both sides of the center deck are continuous
hinges (#2). Measure the height they are off the
ground as follows:
a.
Refer to Figure 2-2:
At back of cutter, measure
distance from bottom of right hinge (#2) to ground
and from bottom of left hinge to ground. These
two measurements should be equal.
b.
Refer to Figure 2-3:
At front of cutter, measure
distance from bottom of right hinge (#2) to ground
and from bottom of left hinge to ground. These two
measurements should be 1" less than the rear
measurements taken in step a.
Refer to Figure 2-2:
6. Adjust length of leveling rods at coupler nuts (#6) if
continuous hinges are not 1" lower at the front:

If continuous hinges are too high at the front:
a. Loosen jam nuts (#5).
b. Unscrew coupler nuts (#6) an equal amount to
lower front of cutter until both hinges are inclined
from front to back by 1" with the front being closer
to the ground than the back.
If continuous hinges are too low at the front:
a. Loosen jam nuts (#5) several turns.
b. Tighten coupler nuts (#6) an equal amount to
raise front of cutter until both hinges are inclined
from front to back by 1" with the front being closer
to the ground than the back.
7. Be sure leveling rods have equal amounts of tension
and then tighten jam nuts (#5) against couplers (#6).
