Setting the Gauge Wheels and Roller

Gauge Wheels

Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing

the deck lift lever in any of the six different cutting height

notches on the right fender.

Adjust the deck wheels so that they are between ¼-inch

and ½-inch above the ground as follows.

Place the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably

pavement, refer to Figure 2, and proceed as follows:

• Place the tractor’s deck lift handle in the normally

desired mowing height setting, then check the

gauge wheels for contact or excessive clearance

with the surface below.

• If the wheels contact the surface adjust as follows:

a. Raise the deck lift handle to its highest

setting.

b. Remove the lock nuts and shoulder screws

which secure the front gauge wheels to the

deck.

c. Place the deck lift handle in the desired

mowing height setting.

d. Insert the shoulder screw with the gauge

wheel into the index hole that leaves

approximately 1/2" between the bottom of

the wheel and the pavement.

e. Note the position of the index hole used; then

install the other gauge wheel into the

corresponding index hole of the other gauge

wheel brackets.

• If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance with

the surface below, lower the wheels to the index

hole that provides the approximate 1/2" clearance

as described above.

Figure 2

Roller

To adjust the height of the rollers found on the rear of

the mowing deck upward or downward, proceed as

follows:

• Place the deck lift lever in the lowest position.

• Remove the clevis pins and hairpin clips from the

deck roller brackets on the left and right sides of the

cutting deck. See Figure 2.

• Position the deck roller brackets up or down

through the slots on the rear of the deck until

desired position is reached, then re-attach with the

clevis pins and hairpin clips just removed.

IMPORTANT:

Be certain that the left roller bracket and

the right roller bracket are set in the same position.

Refer to Leveling the Deck on page 17 of this manual
