Setting the Deck Gauge Wheels (if so equipped)
Move the tractor on a firm and level surface, preferably
pavement, and proceed as follows:
1. 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).
2. Check the gauge wheels for contact or excessive clearance
with the surface below. The deck gauge wheels should
have between ¼” and ½” clearance above the ground.
If the gauge wheels have excessive clearance or contact with the
surface, adjust as follows:
a. Raise the deck lift handle to its highest setting
b. Remove the front and rear gauge wheels by
removing the lock nuts and shoulder screws which
secure them to the deck. See Figure 3-7.
Figure 3-7
c. Place the deck lift lever in the desired mowing
height setting.
d. Reinsert the shoulder screw (with each gauge
wheel) into the index hole that leaves approximately
½” 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.
Attaching the Hood Scoop (If so equipped)
On some tractors, a hood scoop may be included. If the hood
scoop was not installed on the hood of your tractor at the
factory, refer to the steps below to install the hood scoop now:
1. Remove the four screws pre-installed in the hood scoop
and retain for Step 2.
2. Install the hood scoop onto the hood of the tractor and
secure from the underside using the four screws previously
removed. See Figure 3-8.
