TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING

Adjust the mower while tractor is parked 
on level ground or driveway.  Make sure 
tires are properly infl ated (See “PROD-
 UCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this 
man u al).   If tires are over or underinfl ated, 
you will not properly adjust your mower.
SIDE-TO-SIDE ADJUSTMENT 
•   Raise mower to its highest position.
•   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.

FRONT-TO-BACK ADJUSTMENT 

IMPORTANT:

  Deck must be level side-to 

side. If the following front-to-back ad just -
ment is necessary, be sure to adjust both 
front links equally so mower will stay level 
side-to-side.    

 

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.
