GT54 deck issue
This is on the 1863, I've checked all to online resources I can find, as well as looked for damage or mismatched parts.
The rear deck wheel on the non chute side rubs against the deck, I currently have a well worn one on there which doesn't rub, but a good one will. My thoughts are that that corner is supposed to have a different axle or a spacer, but I don't see anything like that on partstree. |

Rear deck wheels and casters are the same. You don't have the wheel turned to the inside do you? This is how it should be setup.

I had a better look at my deck yesterday, it will only go one way and it is a very close fit, maybe 1/4" clearance at best. They are also easy to bend the axle / shoulder bolt so that may be your problem. Post a pic of yours.

Grease fittings go to the outside. If they are to the inside, that'll move the wheels I/B. I looked at one of my 54" decks. It's a little worn on the spindle and deck mounting holes so the spindle will rotate some. Wheel and bushings are worn a little. If I backed up, the left side wheel would rub the deck. Don't see it as a problem unless your wheel is hard against the deck. |

Here's how it looks with old wheel on. It doesn't "look" like anything is bent, but the PO had to have hit something pretty hard at one time because I had to spend some shop press time straightening the deck hanger assembly.

This is a 54" deck that I had a few years back. Obviously the wheels are very close but I don't ever recall them rubbing.

If you lower the wheels they will not hit.
