Use the adjustment links in your first picture to level the deck side/side. Use the adjustment links in the second picture to adjust level fore/aft. The front should be slightly lower.

Also, there is a lot of down pressure to where you have to watch it because it will move that cam stop.

Not sure what you mean by pressure moving the cam. As you can see in this picture the cam just rotates and the big hand knob locks it wherever you want it. The arm in front of the cam is attached to the rockshaft and it stops the rockshaft when it touches the cam and limits your deck. There is no pressure on the cam.

Might have the pin in to lock it into the lift arms under the tunnel that would be the only way you get down pressure

When lowering the deck I have to watch the rockshaft and stop it when it touches the cam stop or it will continue to put force on the cam stop and eventually cause it to move and keep lowering.

Are you referring to the Float lockout pin described on page 20 in this manual?
http://ccmanuals.info/pdf/QL%20Operators%20Manual.pdf

I was thinking that too but since this tractor is so new to me I had a hard time understanding the wording. The last paragraph on the left side on page 20 is where I get lost.

Yes, the float lock-out pin is what they are referring to. If it is installed, you need to remove it. You don't need it for mowing. Fact is, you really don't need them installed at all...... ever as far as I'm concerned.

No, someone probably installed it to use a front mounted blade. People think they need down pressure on a blade. In reality, all it does is bend the lift rod all to crap. Would do the same thing with a tiller. I for the life of me don't know why they made it to have down pressure. Maybe there is an attachment that it helped with, but I've seen all the CC attachments as far as I know, and own a good portion of them. I've never needed down pressure.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
