:Mower Levelling, Front-To-Back,
42" & 48" Mowers
WARNING
To avoid accidental starting during
levelling check, remove the ignition
key and then remove both plug wires
and fasten them away from the spark
plugs.
NOTE
: Tractor and mower must be on a level
surface. Check side-to-side adjust¬
ment first (page 32).
For smoothest mowing results, the mower
should be adjusted so that the front tip of the
center blade is 1/8 to 1/4 inch (3 to 6 mm)
higher than the rear tips of the left and right
I blades. To check, follow these steps:
j 1. Place the tractor with the mower
mounted on a smooth, level surface
such as concrete. Place the mower in
the highest cutting position, and place
the mower lift lever in the lowered
position.
2. Arrange the blades so that they are
pointing forward and back, parallel
with the tractor. Engage the mower
clutch.
3. Measure the distance from the front
tip of the center blade to the ground,
and note that measurement. (See fig¬
ure 39.)
4. Measure the distance to the ground
from the rear tips of the left and right
blades. Compare these measurements
with the measurement from the front
tip of the center blade. The front tip of
the center blade should be 1/4 inch (6
mm) higher than the rear tips of the
side blades (figure 39).
5. If adjustment is needed, remove the
two pins (A, figure 40) by removing
the cotter pins. Loosen the jam nuts
(C).
6. Turn both turnbuckles the same num¬
ber of turns, shortening the bail arms
to raise the front of the mower and
lengthening the bail arms to lower the
front of the mower.
7. Replace pins through turnbuckles and
