Shims (1/16th
inch, part num-
ber 045446)
can be applied
between the
deck pan
mount and the
cross tube.
Shims may be
obtained from
your Lastec
dealer,
Leveling Decks 4 and 5
Decks 4 and 5 can be leveled by applying 1/8” (3mm) P116
spacer or 1/4” (6mm) T104 spacer to the ball joints. All joint
spacers may need to be arranged until the deck is in the
proper level configuration.
Leveling Decks 6 and 7
The outside decks, 6 and 7, do not require leveling outside
of roller adjustment as described in
Deck Height of Cut
.
Replacing Wheels
If one wheel is replaced, the wear level of the surrounding
tires may cause the deck to cant in one direction. Leveling
the decks after a tire replacement may be necessary. Spac-
ers on the wheel yoke assembly may be rearranged to
accommodate the new tire. See Fig. 3-11. Additional or
replacement spacers may be obtained from your Lastec
dealer.

Height of Cut
DANGER!
Stop the tractor and disengage the
PTO before attempting to set or adjust the mower
deck height!
Never adjust the mower deck height with the trac-
tor running or the PTO engaged.
The Articulator can be set to various heights ranging from
1" to 4 3/4".
Change the mower deck height at all the wheel locations by
moving the wheel spacers from above to below each wheel
yoke collar on each wheel yoke shaft.
When there are no wheel spacers located below the collar,
the deck is set at 1". Placing any combination of wheel
spacers below the wheel shaft collar will raise the deck by
the corresponding thickness of the spacer(s) used.
Example: (1) 1” spacer and (2) 1/4” spacers placed
below the wheel yoke collars will set the mower
deck to 2 1/2”.
