Good morning folks. I've been meaning to get around to this for a while, but life happens. lol First and foremost, I've had issues getting the height of cut that I'm looking for. My OM states that I should be able to get a 3 1/2 cut. The closest I've been able to get it is 3 - 3 1/4 (I believe I've traced this to the deck wheels on the rear being worn.) Everything I've read states they should be 6" diameter wheels and mine appear to be worn down to 5 3/4 or so. Does anyone know of a cost efficient wheel to replace these with? I've looked at the ones on eBay/Amazon (Stens, red in color) and it's hard for me to choke down buying a set for 50-70+ dollars when I can source a set of rear ag tires for 100 bucks. If not I'll bite the bullet if I need to, just doesn't make much sense to me. Also, there are adjustments on each side of the deck ( I read later that the rear wheels actually handle that which makes sense to me) that I thought were for leveling side to side, however I'm having trouble understanding how they should be set because they don't hold the deck level or change anything, unless the front anti scalp wheels are hitting an incline. At that point it seems these adjusters limit the upward travel of the front of the deck? Can any of you fine folks explain to me what the heck I need to do to get this thing ironed out? The help is greatly appreciated and thanks for allowing me to be a part of such a great community. Look forward to many years of Horse riding with you fellas.

As some of you know, I bought a 414-8 tractor and now I'm having deck issues, it's a 48" side discharge. I hooked up the front into the locking mechanism, I put the lift lever lock thing in with a cotter pin, but when I put the deck on I noticed this bar with this 90° pin, with a hole for a cotter pin to go into just laying there off the back of the deck, on the rack thing on the top of the deck. Couldn't see where this goes under the tractor, it kind lines up with a flat piece of steel with two holes on it, this is attached to the rod that sets the deck height. I don't have any pictures as I had to go to work. Hoping someone know's what I'm talking about. Maybe there's a manual or procedure to ensure I put thi's on correctly. Thanks guys!
