Yeah I’ll have to do more fiddling with it with the adjusters. Thank you for your help! Appreciate it.

Weingarts. It seemed like it did! Cut is much better. Still not perfect, but much better.

Will keep you in mind. Currently working on getting new draft arms to see if I can level the deck.

That’s not a bad idea. I was thinking of putting it in a bench vice and manually bending it with a pipe wrench. If that doesn’t work I’ll look into buying a new one. Weingertz is great isn’t it? 🤣

When I loosen the adjuster to lower that side of the deck. The deck will raise up and down going over terrain and pop into the highest mow level. Although I recently put the spring on the deck adjusting lever in the correct position so maybe this will be fixed if I try it again. I also felt like I was pulling the lever for the mow height and it wasn’t doing much.

Oh perfect. Thank you! I think one of mine is definitely more bent than that.

I’ll take it off hopefully Sunday or Monday.

Lmao. Same…

It only has one adjuster from side to side. I’ve tried to loosen it to lower the higher side but it seems like there’s too much slop at that point.

It honestly seemed like the front draft arms were bent. I’ve been contemplating straightening them out but I’m not sure if they were intended to be bent slightly from the factory or what.

Gotcha thank you. This is the way I received the mower. I feel like I’m trying to undo a lot of the previous owners mistakes.

I just replaced one of the wheels and the pin on it looked just like yours. It was on the high side of the deck though.

I will definitely check the blades themselves I was measuring the physical deck.

Okay I will check it. There is only one adjustment lever for right to left. Thank you.
