Bought this GR2100 2/14 from a great neighbor who had dealer maintained the unit since original purchase in 2005.
Currently the front deck wheels plow the sod rather deeply gouging out the grass by the roots when turning.
Adjusting the parallel linking almost to the limit has not corrected this plowing/sod gouging problem which was not present last mowing season.
We are in south Texas and have had frequent, heavy rains all spring necessitating early mowing and sometimes slightly boggy ground when mowing before the next wet and stormy front rolls in but this plowing is occurring with every mowing and more pronounced the sharper the turn.
We would surely appreciate any DIY suggestions to correct this problem before my wife decides we need to use the older than old push mower because of the repeatedly plowed and terraced formerly flat yard!

THANKS for your responses and suggestion!
Leon (husband) and Paula (member and Leon's wife-atary too)
