To obtain the best cutting results, the
mower housing should be adjusted so
that the front is approximately 1/8" to 1/2"
lower than the rear when the mower is in
its highest position.
Check adjustment on right side of trac-
tor. Measure dis tance “D” directly in front
and behind the mandrel at bottom edge of
mower housing as shown.
• Before making any necessary ad just -
ments, check that both front links are
equal in length.
• If links are not equal in length, adjust
one link to same length as other link.
• To lower front of mower loosen nut “E”
on both front links an equal number of
turns.
• When distance “D” is 1/8" to 1/2"
lower at front than rear, tighten nuts “F”
against trunnion on both front links.
• To raise front of mower, loos en nut “F”
from trunnion on both front links. Tighten
nut “E” on both front links an equal num-
ber of turns. The two front links must

TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING
Adjust the mower while tractor is parked
on level ground or driveway. Make sure

you will not properly adjust your mower.
SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT

• At the midpoint of both sides of mower,
measure height from bot tom edge of
mower to ground. Distance “A” on both
sides of mower should be the same or
within 1/4" of each other.
• If adjustment is necessary, make adjust-
ment on one side of mower only.
• To raise one side of mower, tighten lift
link ad just ment nut on that side.
• To lower one side of mower, loosen lift
link ad just ment nut on that side.
NOTE
: Each full turn of adjustment nut
will change mower height about 1/8".
