Move tractor to a firm, level surface.
Turn engine “OFF”.

Place a 2-1/2” tall block under the front of the deck
centered between the front lift arms. See Fig 70a.
Place a 1-3/4” tall block under the rear of the
deck in the center. See Fig 70a.
Position the blades as shown in Fig 70a and lower
the deck onto the blocks.
Disconnect the front lift rod and the rear hanger
plates. See Fig 68 on page 32 and Fig 70b.
Put the lift lever in the 3rd position from low cut.
Measure the distance from each blade tip to the
floor. The measurements should be within 1/8“
of each other. (Factory setting)
If the difference is less than 1/8”, go to next
section, Front-to-rear level.
If the difference is more than 1/8”, adjust as
described in the following steps.
Loosen the front adjuster nut until adjuster
moves freely. Then, tighten the nut until the
adjuster moves only when moderate force is
applied to one side of the deck. See Fig. 70c.
Adjust the side-to-side level of the blade tips by
moving one side of the deck up or down as
needed to obtain 1/8” or less side-to-side deck
level.
After leveling deck, re-tighten the adjuster nut
