I replaced both ball joint rod ends on both the right and left Push arms and now the rear deck chains are angled somewhat forward, like the push arms are pushing the deck forward, is that OK, or should I screw in the rod ends further into the Push Arm till the deck chain is straight up and down? Or not worry about it?

Below is a manual for a different mower, its push arm is different part#, but this manual shows the push arm adjustment, while the Wildcat owners manual does not.

Anyone know what the push arm length adjustment should be for a 2007 Wildcat?

My Scag Wildcat parts manual shows the Push Arm as 461516. The parts manual for the SSZ mower above shows its Push Arm as 46460. I found that a Scag ad on Amazon for the Wildcat Push Arm 461516 also replaces the 46460 Push Arm that goes on the SSZ. So, I am just going to set my push arms at 15 1/8" like the SSZ technical manual says. Measuring it on the machine it looks like it will better than what I have it currently which is about 15 1/2", and the chains on the deck are not straight.
