tommyg 154 #3 Posted June 15, 2013 Here are a few shots of the deck adjustment on a D. This happens to be a d180. The tension adjustment knob is located under the left foot plate. Turning it counter clockwise tightens it by shifting the deck backward. Clockwise, of course, does the opposite. It's a bit confusing, but it works. Hope this helps!

jspitler 0 #4 Posted June 15, 2013 I thought that is what the knob was for and I appreciate it. People on here know what they are talking about and the people at the storez have no clue. Thank you very much now I can put my horse to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
