ASSEMBLY
38”/42”/50”/54” DECK MODELS
1. Check the tractor deck for a shipping brace that may be
holding the chute deflector upward for shipment. If the
shipping brace is present, it must be removed before
operating the tractor. Holding the chute deflector fully
upward, remove the shipping brace.
2. Lower the chute deflector and discard the shipping brace.
See Figure 12.
Figure 12
NOTE: 36” deck models come equipped with mulch plugs rather
than chute deflectors and no shipping brace is included.
Setting the Deck Wheels (If equipped)
NOTE: The deck wheels are an anti-scalp feature of the deck and
are not designed to support the weight of the cutting deck.
1. Move the tractor to a level surface, preferably pavement.
2. Check the tire pressure, adjust, if necessary. See tire sidewall
for proper tire pressure.
3. Make sure the deck is level side-to-side and properly pitched.
See the Service and Maintenance section for deck leveling
information and instructions.
4. Place deck lift lever in the desired mowing height position.
5. Check the wheels for contact or excessive clearance with the
surface below.
NOTE: The deck wheels should have between 1/4”-1/2” (6.35
mm-12.7 mm) clearance above the ground. Proceed as follows to
adjust the wheels:
a. Raise the deck lift lever to its highest setting.
b. Remove the front (a) and rear (b) deck wheels by
removing the flange lock nuts (c) and shoulder bolts (d)
that secure them to the deck. See Figure 13.

the index hole that leaves approximately 1/2” (13 mm)
between the bottom of the wheel and the pavement.
Tighten the flange lock nut and shoulder bolt to between
25-30 ft-lbs (34-40 N-m) using a torque wrench.

section of this manual for more detailed instructions regarding
