Hi Folks I have a JD la 115 with mulching blades, I keep them sharp but my deck is not level and the lawn is getting cut uneven.
I bought the blade height adjustment tool, but are still having problems.
Here is a few pics of the way she cuts.

Thanks

Your deck is low on the left side
Or you left tyre is flat.
There should be adjustments on both of the rear deck hangers ( the ones that rais & lower the deck ).
Raise the left and lower the right by the same amount.
then check the front back, front should be around 1/4" lower than the back.
Your manual is readable on the John Deere web site and that is the full service manual.
However you can only read ( or print ) one small section at a time.

Welcome to the forum! :smile:

I'm going to move your thread over to the JD section in case you need more help getting that deck level.

Having a second look, i mitt be a good idea to take the deck off and check the lugs it hangs off.
There is a better than average chance if this is a sudden occurence then he deck may have cracked or one of the hangers on the mower may have broken,
The tech hangers are hard to check properly with the deck on the mower.

Mission Accomplished !

Today I got the mower in the garage, I checked the tires only to find the pressure was way off.
I had 8lbs in the rf, 0 lbs in the lf, 9lbs in the rr, and 10.5 lr. so after adjusting them all, I then checked the blade height.
Still off but closer, so I adjusted the rear riser rods and after raising the left side, I had to lower the right side. I just cut the lawn and its much better
not perfect but a lot better.
thanks for every ones help.
