Dave I believe the pin is threaded at the tractor mount point and is adjustable. That is true, u adjust from the front. There are two bolts that protrude from the lower front of the mower. I have this mower and LOVE it. It gives a good clean cut, rides good, and is versitile with attachments. Perhaps you have the deck too on the side adjustment lever. Or u have some reallly bad bumps in your landscape. I have a few unevenesses in my lawn, but no big deal. I did however almost tip the thing twice, but that is because I get a little to agressive around trees, and when I am done I like to run as fast as I can back to the house. Thats on speed 7. Probably that I am very tallthe center of gravity is working against me, oh well! To help correct semantics, I mean the shroud and rest of assy that moves the entire blade rotating assy up and down in relation to the riding mower itself. Troybilt parts manual uses the term "deck" for the entire assy that moves up and down. Yes, the deck adjustment is the RH side lever. The other RH side actually engages the blades. The entire deck does not move up and down, just the rear with the RH side lever. As I stated before, I don't understand the purpose of raising/lowering only the rear of the deck. Seems to me, the front and rear of the deck should raise/lower in unison by concept... Maintain the deck height adjustment lever at highest position. What I say about the rear of deck moving up and down only with that lever is demonstrated by moving the lever and observing the rear of the deck moving up and down as a consequence. My leech field is an above ground level version. Angled on sides, and flat on top. I have been tempted to mow the sides with the riding mower, but is too steep. I only mow the top with the riding mower. The remainder, I attack with a Boelen push mower. Direct attack up, across, and down result in grass removal to soil level at the edges on top of the leech field. Dave |
