mr.pipes 4 #1 Posted June 10, 2011 Does anyone have any tips on getting a higher cut out of a deck? I have been using a 48SD with a Power-Flo bagger. Where the ground is uneven it cuts way to close. Even on the flat it is a little low for my liking. I plan on doing something this fall to help with the high and low spots but still wouldn't mind a higher cut. Have any of you modified your decks for a higher cut? Do you have any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skrusins 128 #2 Posted June 11, 2011 I read an article by a RS member about putting fender washers under the height adjuster. I tried it and I my 48in deck to 3 1/2 in. I haven't been able to find that article even with a search. What I did is put 2 fender washers under the top bolt and 1 under the bottom. You can get the washers from a body shop. Hope this helps.

coldone 35 #4 Posted June 11, 2011 ,i always wondered what the heck would you need the lowest settings for,rototilling with the mower deck? My 4yo son stepped on and was bitten by a copperhead 3 weeks ago. I got the new d160 running and dropped the deck as low as it would go and mowed the yard. Now we can see everything in the grass from a good distance away, even the ants He has made a full recovery with no after effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HankB 16 #5 Posted June 11, 2011 I put bigger gauge wheels on my 42" SD. I would suggest going 1" bigger diameter because I can't use all of the height from the 2" bigger diameter that I tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skrusins 128 #7 Posted June 16, 2011 Hi Hank, Can I ask the dimensions of that 8in. gauge wheel, 8X? offset ? Also maybe a part no or where to buy it. I've been looking for a 7 in without any luck. Hope I not too much trouble, Thanks Stan Hank Wrote: It's on this page: http://www.mcmaster.com/#2331t53/=cr1sfb It should show up with a yellow highlight. I think the hub is flush on one side and recessed on the other. The line above it is a 7" wheel. (It would be best to keep this discussion on the board so all might benefit.)
