Deck Rear Roller Adjustment
The rear rollers on the mower deck are not designed to 
carry the weight of the deck. The rear rollers should be 
adjusted to approximately 1/4" to 1/2" above the ground 
when the deck is moved to the desired cutting height. 
Place the tractor on a smooth, flat surface, move the deck 
to the desired cutting height, and check the height of the 
rear rollers. If contacting the ground, or above 1/2" from 
the ground, adjust the rear rollers as follows:
46" Deck ONLY
The 46" deck roller assembly index bracket has three 
adjustment positions using either the bottom two holes, 
middle two holes, or top two holes. 
• Support the roller assembly and remove the two self 
tapping screws from both the left and right roller index 
brackets. 
• Position the roller assembly so that the rollers are ap-
proximately 1/4" to 1/2" above the flat surface below. 
Align the nearest two index bracket holes with holes in 
the deck mounting brackets. See Figure 13.
• Secure the roller assembly with the four self tapping
screws. See Figure 13.
NOTE: The self tapping screws should be in the 
corresponding holes of both the left and right roller index 
brackets.
