37" side discharge mower deck

Recommended Posts

Dennis C.

Picked up a 1987 312-8 with a 37" side discharge deck. Tractor had the wrong size wheels and tires on front and wrong tires on the rear. So I purchased the correct rear tires and correct 6" wheels and tires. Now I am having issues with the cutting height of the deck. Being unfamiliar with this type of deck  I don't see any adjustments for leveling the deck other that the 2 wheels at the  rear of the deck.  If i raise the 2 wheels in the rear to the top hole the raise the deck the nose of the deck angles down chewing up the turf and hitting every stone  that I didn't hit before. Can this deck be leveled front to rear for cutting height?  Thanks in advance for any help.

Check that the deck is attached correctly. The “fork” on the front must capture a small rod across the forward part of the tractor. It is easy to miss and if not in place the deck movement is messed up.

 

Also did the tractor have 8 inch front wheels. If it did you probably have spindles for 8 inch. 6 inch spindles are longer.
