Why are you so in love with an apparent piece of shit. There
are lots of good ones out there, sold by people who will look after
you.

I agree.
For the OP Take off the new blades you put on. Have them replace
the mower with one that does have all the height settings, and then
replace the blades with the new ones you bought, or...
Get your money back and buy a different mower.


Oh I still have the old blades you bet.
If the unit does go back it won't be with the new blades.

The Sears guy came to see the mower for the 2nd time about a month
ago, at my request to check the engine after the motor was stopped
cold by a friggen twig, anyway.

The Sears guy did like the Toro (32" 8hp rear engine) and looked at
that more than the one he was supposed to be looking at, but I
digress. I have really have liked the new mower since I took apart the
seat
kill switch and fixed it so I could lean or stand up if I have to
(a little cardboard and some shipping tape did the trick) yea, I
was gonna do paper clips but it is a four wire switch etc. Oh and
the new blades are allot tougher.

The reason I called Sears this time (I'm starting to think I'm a
pain in the ass) but, The mower deck has 6 settings as do most, and
well 3 hits the ground and 2 and 1 , well, don't work.

So I went to Sears today and checked all their models, guess what? All
of the mowers worked from 1 to 6 and topped out at four inches.
(yes I brought a tape measure too)

The deck just sits to low, for instance I need to mow at a height
of 5 and even then I'm at a mere 1 1/2 inches ( it tops out at 1
3/4 inches at six) The Mower deck is supposed to max out on 6 at a level
of 4 inches

I tried adjusting everything! I even went to Tractor Supply and
bought a cable crimp and put it on the "non adjustable" side (then
adjusted the other side) , but then level one, two and six did not
work (but I did get about 3 1/2 inches of blade height at level 5).

Any ideas????
I have a month before I can just return it, but like I said there
are allot of things I like about this mower.
