Hello all,
I have inherited a Ferris Pro Cut 61 Commercial Mower. Model#42220K Hydrostatic trans - foot control,
20hp V twin Kohler, 61" mower deck, Power deck lift. First of all, I apologize for any misspoken words in describing and conveying my questions, as I said the mower was inherited.
1.) Are free manuals available online, perhaps I've overlooked aqny links in the forum.
2.)How does one raise or lower the mower deck height? I see the three spacer washers located on each front deck idler wheel and the snap pin through the wheel spindle. One of my wheel spindles will not lower to the lowest point, i.e. placing all three spindle washers on top. If I try to place three on top the spindle will not enter completely into the bearing housing. It slides fine for any height using anywhere from none to two spacers on top of the spindle. The idle wheel stops short of fully seating in the bearing when i remove all spacers...becomes tight to the point the wheel won't spin. I see no damage and the wheel spindle appears straight however I have not placed a straight edge on it. The mower doesn't look like it has taken a hard shot against a tree but that's my guess given it slides in fine but won't bottom out. (Don't laugh, it happens to a lot of men) Is there another way to lower the deck or do I just buy another idler wheel??
