Shut the engine off, remove the 

ignition key and engage the parking brake before 

making adjustments. Protect your hands by using 

heavy gloves when handling the blades.

NOTE: Check the tractor’s tire pressure before performing 

any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires on page 27 for 

information regarding tire pressure.

The front of the cutting deck is supported by a stabilizer bar that 

can be adjusted to level the deck from front to rear. The front of 

the deck should be between 1⁄4-inch and 3⁄8-inch lower than the 

rear of the deck. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. 

Park the tractor on a firm, level surface and place the deck 

lift lever in the middle position.

2. 

Rotate the blade nearest the discharge chute so that it is 

parallel with the tractor.

3. 

Measure the distance from the front of the blade tip to the 

ground and the rear of the blade tip to the ground. The 

first measurement taken should be between 1⁄4” and 3⁄8” less 

than the second measurement.

Determine the approximate distance necessary for proper 

adjustment and proceed, if necessary.
1. 

Locate the hex lock on the end of the  deck hanger rod. See 

Figure 6-4.

• 

To raise the front of the deck, tighten (thread inward) 

the inner hex nut against the front hanger bracket.

• 

To lower the front of the deck, loosen (thread 

outward) the hex nut, away from the front hanger 

bracket. See Figure 6-4.
