Mower height

[Floydster 0]

Finally got my deck height adjusters unlocked and working. Problem is I forgot to measure the height before I took them off. Now that they are on and working, what hieght is a good place to start? I remember reading somewhere that factory hieght is 3 1/2"? Is this correct? This the height of the blades not the bottom of deck, right?

dlc: no rust remover from you know who as of yet! actually I am tired of waiting on "the old boy" so I went out and got a load of rust reformer as advised by another member. Started working on the snowblower and the stuff seems to do a great job. I would have never believed if I hadn't tried it myself. Anyway, thanks for the sandblast offer. I may take you up on it.

Brett, I always understood the cutting height to mean to the under side of the blade height. 3 1/2" is a good starting point to use. Try to get the leading underside of the blade 1/8" higher than the trailing,rear edge with blades facing front and rear.That adjustment is gotten from the clevises in the frt of deck. BTW dija get your shipment of rust remover from 'you know who' yet?If not bring er' on down I'll let you sandblast her[I'll be in the pool if you need me!] The only really good way to be rid of rust/scale![is to let SOMEONE ELSE do it!] dlc
