I brought a well-used mowing deck, model # 78360, a three blade 48" .The Model # is the best I can read from the faded label, and it came off a 1993 314H.
Put this deck on my 1989, 414-8. Problem is, I can't level the deck side to side, and the deck is visibly lower on the left side, (lift handle side).
Checked the spindles, blades, tires, tire pressure, the front to aft decline of 1/8", 6" side wheels. Everything looks good. The fork from the deck carriage is properly seated in the attach o matic.
With the deck in the mowing position, free floating and not being held up by the lift mechanism, and just by looking at the deck from the front of the tractor, the deck itself is visibly lower to the left side.
I don't know how to correct this. Its off approximately 3/4" of an inch, measured from beneath the blade tips.
My previous two decks, the 37" SD and the 42" RD decks had no issues in the side-to-side leveling. I gave both decks to my grandson, thus the 48".
I hope the pictures help identify the problem and someone has a solution as I am stumped!
Thanks for the help!
