How do you level mowing deck on cub cadet?

Answer 1

First question is what Model machine do you have ? It all depends on which model, well it all depends on which model. Not always is a uneven cut due to a deck needing leveled. Murray mowers, who filed bankruptcy and is now owned and operated by Briggs & Stratton Corp, has a weakness in the blade spindle area, the blades are thin and they actually do bend. If the sail side (the side opposite the cutting edge) is worn this also will affect the cut. If it is a considerable difference, check the jackshafts housings to make sure the bearings are good and not loose, or even broken. Post your model number on here and I will point you further. The model number is going to be either directly above the tow hitch, or directly below the seat, if it is a 46" rider the number will start with a 46, if it say is a 42, then the number will start with a 42, the first 2 digits tell its width cut, this is how you know you have the correct number.

Answer 2

You probably do not have rear wheels on your tractor. Purchase wheels for the mower deck and that should solve your problem. I had the problem of an uneven cut on turning. The rears wheels solved that problem. You can of course get them at Sears.

Answer 3

I was told by a person that has had cub cadets for years to place the tractor on a level concrete surfade, measure the distance from the can to the concrete and adjust to be the same by adjunsting the air in the tires. Hope it works for you

Answer 4

all you need to do is pull a total of 6 cotter pins, there are two in the front below the engine, you can easily see where the deck is attached there. next there is one on each side holding the deck to the risers that raise and lower deck height. next there is one that runs as sort of a cross brace that is behind the previous two, and finally there is a small one holding the blade engage cable to the pully on the deck itself. make sure to hang on to these, and remember where they went. ive done this so many times for winter i can do it in like 5 min, but the first time is always a learning experience, good luck!!!

Answer 5

The center bracket on both side has an adjustment on it. You need to remove the clips that holds it into the deck and then you can spin the adjuster up or down to level it.

Answer 6

Under the deck there will be a balance that can be to loose and adjusted. Put a long level across the deck loosen the balance and lock it down when it shows level.

Answer 7

Use a torpedo level on your blades.
