I have a 48" Side Discharge Mower Deck for my LS45 Yard Tractor.
I have the manuals but.....
Over the years and taking deck on and off have left my set up "out of alignment." I can follow the manual but I seem to be in a situation outside of the operating range of the mower and I don't have an intuitive clue what to do.
Specifically - The mower deck front center roller (anti scalp device) is plowing into the ground. I cannot adjust the deck to a height that has that roller above the turf with the various adjustments mentioned in the manual. I have to set the two front gage wheels to their maximum position to lift the front of the deck. The manual states that these gage wheels should be riding about 3/8 inch above the turf when deck is in mowing position. My gage wheels are actually supporting the front of the deck and there is a good bit of weight on these rollers and they wear rapidly as well as probably not helping my turf as they are actually rolling on the turf with the weight of the deck on them.
I need some tips on setting up this deck from someone who has the tricks and not just be referred to the manual. =)
