B. Front to Back Leveling

Adjustment

Although the 44” mower deck is

designed to run on the front caster

wheels, the front lift rod must be

correctly adjusted to ensure the deck

maintains the proper pitch when

mowing uneven terrain.

1. Using the tractor’s lift system,

raise the deck to one of the higher

cutting positions. Make certain the

front caster and rear gauge

wheels do not touch the surface

below.

2. Position the mower blades so the

ends of each blade point to the

front and the rear of the tractor

(See Figure 30).

Figure 30

3. Refer to Figure 31. Measure and

record the distance from the front

cutting edge to the ground (mea-

surement A), and from the rear

cutting edge to the ground (mea-

surement B), for both outer

blades. The front edge of each

blade (measurement A) should be

lower than its back edge (mea-

surement B) by approximately1/8

inch.

4. Adjust the front lift rod as follows

to attain the proper pitch of the

mower deck (See Figure 32).
