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 6-9.

ment positions holes. 
While supporting the roller assembly, remove click pin
