Side-to-side leveling
1. With the mower deck installed, place the tractor on a
smooth, level surface such as a concrete floor. Turn the front
wheels straight forward.
2. Disengage the PTO, engage the parking brake, shut the
engine off, and remove the key.
3. Check for bent blades and replace if necessary.
4. Place the mower deck in mid-cut position. Turn the mower
deck pulleys by hand until the right blade (C) faces side-to-
side.
5. Measure the distance from the ground (F) to the outside tip
of the right blade (E).
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the left blade.
If there is more than 3 mm (1/8") difference between the
measurements on each side, loosen the outside nut (B) and
turn the eccentric nut (A) to raise or lower the left side of
mower deck.
7. When the mower deck is level, hold the eccentric nut while
tightening the outside nut.
