I have a 60 inch drive over deck and it is almost a year old . I have a problem keeping it level from side to side . The two adjusters used to do this use two long bolt,s and I think they may be backing out and letting one side move down ? I level it and after 10 or so hours of mowing the left side is low maybe a half inch .
I am thinking of putting a lock nut on them .

A lock nut or just a black marker pen to note if there is any movement like "backing out".

If I knew the Thread of that bolt I would just put a nut on it and call it good . I may watch it until I remove the deck .

Rain all day today so I pulled the deck off . Everything looks good so I added a lock nut will see how that works .

Did you check the tires to see if one side is loosing air?

I had a 770 with that system. It did not work well on slopes as the deck would lean. I was going to ask about the air in the tires as well.
