Leveling the Deck (Side to Side)

If the cutting deck appears to be mowing unevenly, a side to side

adjustment can be performed. Adjust if necessary as follows:

 With the tractor parked on a firm, level surface, place the

deck lift lever in the top notch (highest position) and rotate

both 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

hanger bracket. See Figure 6-5.

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

turning the adjustment gear. See Figure 6-5.

The deck is properly leveled when both blade tip measurements

taken earlier are equal. Retighten the hex bolt on the left deck

hanger bracket when proper adjustment is achieved.

roll with the parking brake applied (and the hydrostatic relief

valve open), the brake is in need of adjustment. See your Cub

Cadet dealer to have the brake properly adjusted.

Adjusting the Seat

Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section of this manual for seat

adjustment instructions.

WARNING! Before operating the tractor, make

sure the seat is engaged in the seat-stop. Engage the

parking brake. Stand behind the machine and pull

back on seat until it clicks into place.

Steering Adjustment

If the tractor turns tighter in one direction than the other, or if

the ball joints are being replaced due to damage or wear, the

steering drag links may need to be adjusted.

Adjust the drag links so that equal lengths of each are threaded

into the ball joint on the left side and the ball joint on the right

side:

 Remove the hex nut below the ball joint. See Figure 6-6.

2. Thread the ball joint inward to shorten the drag link.

Thread the ball joint outward to lengthen the drag link.

 Replace the hex nut after proper adjustment is achieved.

NOTE: Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag links

Front tire toe-in can be measured as follows:

 Place the steering wheel in position for straight ahead

travel.

2. In front of the axle, measure the distance horizontally from

the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note

the distance.

 Behind the axle, measure the distance horizontally from

the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note

the distance.
