Gauge Wheels (Select Models)

The mower gauge wheels can be placed in several posi-

tions depending on the height of cut. When using higher

cutting heights, set the wheels in the lower position.

When using lower cutting heights, set the wheels in the

upper position. To adjust:

bly to desired height.

Transport Height & Ground Following

Adjustment (Select Models)

The transport height and ground following ability can be

adjusted. Raising the trunnion (C, Figure 57) on the j-

hook (A) will adjust the deck into the greatest ground fol-

lowing ability and the lowest transport position, when the

deck is lowered. Lowering the trunnion on the j-hook will

give the highest transport position and decrease the

deck's ground following ability, when the deck is lowered.

1. Loosen jam nut (B, Figure 49).

2. Remove the hair pin (F) and washer (E) from trunnion

(C).

3. Remove the trunnion (C), j-hook (A) and jam nut (B)

from tractor lift arm (D).

4. Turn trunnion (C) up or down to adjust height.
