Setting the Deck Gauge Wheels
Move the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably
pavement, and proceed as follows
Select the height position of the cutting deck by placing
the deck lift lever in the normally desired mowing height
setting (any of the six different cutting height notches on the
right fender).
Check the gauge wheels for contact or excessive clearance
with the surface below. The deck gauge wheels should
have between ¼-inch and ½-inch clearance above the
ground as follows:
If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance or contact with the
surface, adjust as follows:
Raise the deck lift handle to its highest setting.
Remove the gauge wheels by removing the lock
nuts and shoulder screws which secure them to the
deck. See Fig. 3-5.
Place the deck lift lever in the desired mowing
height setting.
Reinsert the shoulder screw (with each gauge
wheel) into the index hole that leaves approximately
½-inch between the bottom of the wheel and the
pavement.
Refer to Leveling the Deck in the Maintenance section of this
manual for more detailed instructions regarding various deck
adjustments.
