Adjusting the Gauge Wheels
Keep hands and feet away from the discharge opening of the cutting deck.
NOTE: The deck gauge wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and are not
designed to support the weight of the cutting deck.
The mower deck cutting height can be set in any of six height settings using the
riding mower's deck lift handle. The deck heights range from 1-1⁄2" to 4". The deck
gauge wheel position should be approximately 1⁄ 4 -1⁄2" above the ground when the
deck is set in the desired height setting.
Using the lift handle, set the deck in the desired height setting, then check the gauge
wheel distance from the ground below. If necessary adjust as follows:
1.
Visually check the distance between the front gauge wheel and the ground.
If the gauge wheel is near or touching the ground, it should be raised. If more
than 1⁄2" above the ground, it should be lowered.
2.
Remove the flange lock nut securing the front gauge wheel shoulder bolt to
the deck. Remove the gauge wheel and shoulder bolt. Refer to Figure 29.
3.
Insert the shoulder bolt into the one of four index holes in the front gauge
wheel bracket that will give the gauge wheel a 1⁄ 4 -1⁄2" clearance with the
ground and secure with the flange lock nut.
4.
Note the index hole of the just adjusted wheel, and adjust the rear gauge wheel
into the respective index holes of the other gauge wheel bracket on the deck.

Deck Removal
Remove the mower deck from the tractor as follows:
1.
Move the tractor to a level surface, disengage the PTO, stop the engine, and
set the parking brake.
2.
Move the deck gauge wheels to their highest setting (lowest deck setting).
3.
Remove the 'V' belt from the PTO pulley, located on the bottom of the
engine, using one of the following two methods.
The muffler at the rear of the tractor may be extremely hot, and could
cause serious burns. Use extreme caution when near the muffler. Allow the
muffler to fully cool before removing the belt from the PTO pulley.
4.
Releasing Belt Tension with the Idler Pulley
a.
Using the deck lift handle, raise the deck to the position that provides
the most horizontal run of the belt between the deck idler pulleys and
the PTO pulley on the bottom of the engine. See Figure 30.
