3. 

Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex bolt on the front left 

deck hanger link. See Fig. 6-7.

NOTE: The front right deck hanger link is not adjustable 

and is used to help adjust the other hanger links.

4. 

Using a wrench, raise or lower the left side of the deck by 

turning the adjustment gears. See Fig. 6-7.

The deck is properly leveled when both blade tip measurements 

are equal. Retighten the hex bolt on the front left deck hanger 

bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.

NOTE: Check the tractor’s tire pressure before performing 

any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires on page 21 for 

information regarding tire pressure. Always level the deck side to 

side before front to rear.
The front of the deck should be between 1⁄4” and 3⁄8” 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 pedal in a 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.
4. 

Loosen, but do NOT remove, the hex bolt on the left  and 

right rear deck  hanger brackets. See Fig. 6-7.

5. 

Using a wrench, raise or lower the left and right side of the 

deck by turning the adjustment gears. See Fig. 6-7.

6. 

The deck is properly leveled when the front tip of the 

blade is 1⁄4” lower than the rear tip. Retighten the hex bolt 

on the left and right rear deck hanger links when proper 

adjustment is achieved.

Deck Spindle
Grease fittings can be found on top of each spindle bolt. See Fig. 

6-6. Lubricate with 251H EP grease or an equivalent No. 2 multi-

purpose lithium grease. Using a grease gun, apply two strokes 

(minimum) or sufficient grease to the spindle shaft.

Never exceed the maximum inflation 

pressure shown on the sidewall of the tire.

Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s 

recommended or maximum psi. Do not overinflate. Uneven tire 

pressure could cause the cutting deck to mow unevenly.

NOTE: Check the tractor’s tire pressure before performing 

any deck leveling adjustments. Refer to Tires on page 21 for 

information regarding tire pressure.

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 for information regarding 

tire pressure. Always level the deck side to side before front to rear.
NOTE: When leveling the deck side-to-side, make sure the two rear 

adjustment gears are set in the middle of the adjustment range.
If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side 

adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows:
1. 

With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the deck 

lift pedal in a middle mowing position and rotate both outside 

blades so that they are perpendicular with the tractor.

2. 

Measure the distance from the outside of the left blade 

tip to the ground and the distance from the outside of the 

right blade tip to the ground. Both measurements taken 

should be equal. If they’re not, proceed to the next step.
