Default LTX1046KW Mower Deck

Is there a way to adjust (raise) the mower deck besides the wheels. The mower has about 60 hrs on it. The wheels are set to the highest mowing position and the cutting height on the highest setting and the mower cuts
too low. 2 1/4" approx. Tire pressure is correct.

Thanks for the fast response. My issue is with the deck lift handle is in the highest cutting position, the deck is cutting at 2 1/4" which is too low for me. The cutting height has been
decreasing over time. Is something failing ?

Pretty sure that tractor has some sort of cable deck lift setup. Take a look underneath and see if something is worn out or failing.

I've got an LTX1042 and as far as I know, the lift lever is your only height adjustment. The deck wheels have nothing really to do with mowing height. They are anti-scalp wheels - not deck height wheels. If the cut is looking shorter, check the air in the tires and the front to back deck level. If the deck is pitched to low the front, the deck will effectively cut lower.

Good luck,
Bill

Ended up being the cables on the lift control stretched. I relocated the the cables in the lower Clevis pin holes and that took care of my issue. I thank everyone for their input!

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.
