Wheel Horse 244-H Mower Deck 05-42SS02

[RBJ 0]

Hello All,

 

I became the owner of a 1992 Wheel Horse 244-H Lawn Tractor recently.  Runs great and seems fairly sturdy.  I have one complaint though that I am looking for a little help on.  The tractor has the 42" mower deck on it (Model 05-42SS02).  When mowing over ground that is uneven and not packed hard, the anti-scalp rollers dig in to the mound rather than rolling over the mound.  I keep bending the mower deck where the roller brackets are welded.  I replaced the rollers but the problem remains.  Can't figure what I'm doing wrong.  Is the front of the mower deck supposed to rest on the rollers?  I read the manual for it and am not sure.  It does say something about resting on the gage wheels when cutting between 3/4 - 3".  Any help somebody could provide sure would be appreciated.  

 

Regards,

Ritchie Johnston
