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
wheels 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 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 other gauge
wheels into the respective index holes of the other gauge wheel bracket on the
deck.

Drive Control Lever Stop Adjustment
When the drive control levers are both fully extended forward to the full-speed
position and the tractor drifts left or right, the drive control lever stop adjustment
can be adjusted to sync the wheel speeds. To perform the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
1.
Identify the side that the tractor is drifting to and adjust the opposite drive
control lever. If the tractor drifts right, adjust the left control lever down
(decrease speed) and vice versa.
2.
Locate the drive control lever stop adjustment bolts on the front of the seat
frame. See Figure 30.

3.
To decrease the forward speed, turn the bolt clockwise. To increase the
forward speed, turn the bolt counter-clockwise. Turn the bolt in the
necessary direction 1⁄4-turn at a time. After turning the bolt, check the
adjustment by driving the tractor.
4.
Continue the adjustment until the wheel speeds are in sync and the tractor
drives straight with the drive control levers fully extended forward in the
full-speed position.
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.
