I know the original post was a question about adjustment of the gauge wheels. I'm in agreement that the deck should hang, not ride, and the wheels should lift the deck at high spots. However, some decks have four wheels, some have two, and some have none, so I think each individual has to assess his yard situation and go by what works best for him. Smooth lawn - let it ride, cow pasture - hang 'm high.
But back to leveling, that's a different ball game. You've got front to back and right to left. You gotta measure the blade tips to surface and ol'George's way is the only way possible so far. |

Or you could spend $10 and buy the tool I posted. My 3k decks were made to ride on the caster wheels and rear rollers. I have Centipede grass which is cut very low. I have no issues using the gauge to set the height.

Roland, are there bearings in your wheels or are they just the standard plastic ones?

I'm lazy. I use a little chunk of 2x4 that I can slide under on its side and stand up for the right height. I just eyeball a little space under the block when I'm checking the front to back measurement, and call it good. One cut on a little angle would take the guesswork out, I suppose. I used to use a tape measure but this is easier. I figure with the minor changes in the lawn from bumps and hills and possible tire pressure changes month to month it's good enough for me.

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.
