Deck height lever repair

Recommended Posts

cleat

I have found all of my 42" and 48" deck height levers to be worn where they engage the quadrant.

I cut the rod off flush on the longer side where it is welded in then punched out the 3/8" rod.

Cut new rod to 2" and welded on longer side.

Cleat , if you keep this up everybody will be shipping you decks to be repaired. I wish I had your talent. Excellent work on everything you have shared with us.

Cleat, good idea! Mine had been worn about 2/3 through. I built it back up with oxyfuel and some filler rod, then a quick coat of paint. Made a big difference in cut quality.

Cleat just had to make one. Mine was all bent and worn.  Did not have any 1" x 3/16" but had some 1" x 1/4" and used that.

Looks good. Thicker can't hurt.

 

If you get a grip for the 3/16, I am sure it will fit on yours as well.
