Front to Rear Adjustment
To obtain the best cut, the front of the deck should be
between 1/4" and 3/8" lower than the rear of the deck.
1. Make the side to side adjustment as instructed
previously.
2. Measure the distance from the bottom edge of
the front and right rear of deck to the ground.
3. If the front is not between 1/4" and 3/8" lower
than the rear, remove the hairpin clips and flat
washers which secure the J-bolts to the front of
the deck, both right and left sides. See figure 10.
Thread the J-bolts into or out of the ferrules as
necessary.
4. Reassemble J-bolts and recheck the adjustment.
Readjust as necessary. Secure with flat washers
and hairpin clips when adjustment is correct.

BLADE BRAKE ADJUSTMENT (Model 1030 Only)
WARNING: Make certain spark plug wire
is disconnected and grounded against
the engine while making this adjustment.
To adjust the blade brake, proceed as follows. See
figure 11.
1. Disconnect the brake cable from the lower inside
belt guard on the lawn tractor by removing the
hairpin cotter, flat washer and clevis pin.
2. Lower the deck to its lowest position. Place the
blade engagement lever in the disengaged posi¬
tion.
3. Pull the brake cable back so there is no slack in
the cable. Do not put tension on the cable. Select
the hole in the lower inside belt guard which
aligns with the end of the cable. Move the end of
the brake cable forward to the next hole in the
belt guard (which will give a small amount of
slack in the cable), and reassemble.

ping screws. Remove the hex bolt and hex lock nut on
