Deck height adjustment

[ljb]

Hi folks. My 2012 LTX1046 is cutting slightly lower on the height adjustment side. The height adjustment nut is on the highest possible setting. What else could I do to level this deck? Thanks for your help.

If the deck is actually leveled correctly, and tire pressure is correct, and you still need to raise deck a bit, try this. Put some type of bushing on the adjustment rod after removing the bolt. Adjust as needed. The bushing should raise deck more.

The deck is leveled correctly, and the tire pressure is correct. Excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand how a bushing would work. The large adjusting nut rides in notches and moves the deck either up or down, and I have adjusted it as high as it will go. There is a bolt that locks the nut into place. Thanks for your reply though.

The adjustment rod normally has threads that end, therefore you can’t keep tightening the nut. By putting a spacer, shim, washer, bushing onto the rod, you are able to keep raising the deck slightly.

Thanks again for your response. My deck does not have the hanging rods that are adjustable. As I mentioned earlier, my deck has the adjusting nut shown below. Also, the pull pins are already on the highest hole.
