I’m a widow and learning everything about how to maintain and fix my outdoor equipment. Your video was extremely helpful. After putting on new spindles and blades I took apart the rear adjustment arms (they had craftsman 20 mm sockets on them along with rusted bearings). I also rebuilt the carburetor on the Husquivarna YTH 24V48. The springs were not fun on this one. After looking at a parts diagram I quickly determined the idiot at the repair shop had no idea what he was doing. Now I own two extra craftsman sockets he had on the rear adjustment arms trying to level the mower and I have a level mower. Thanks again for such a clear, descriptive video and thanks for letting me know what tools I needed in advance.

First you helped me with my pellet stove, now with the mower deck. I’m looking forward to see what you can help me with next. Thanks again Jim. Love your channel!

Thanks for a great detailed video. I decided to go for 3 1/8" in the front and 3 5/8" in the rear of my 46" deck. That should be the maximum height to go as it comes real close to my belt rubbing but, time will tell. I should be barely safe with the belt. My front was at about 2 3/4" to start and the rear was 3 1/2" to start, so, adjustment was in order. Been that way since new and I have 72 hours on it. Great tractor for sure! BTW, I run LEADED 'NON corn alcohol' fuel that I get from a gas station near me. I run it in all my small engines as it's a safe alternative and it stores much longer without gumming up as with Unleaded corn alcohol fuel, and my hoses will be just fine. ALSO for those who don't know, the triple bagger for the 48" decks will fit the 46" DECK mowers. Usually the 46" decks are two baggers. I found out by mistake when I bought the triple bagger and it fit great. When I went to look for a new rubber part for the chute, the triple baggers said for 48" decks and double bagger for 46" decks. Boy was I happy to learn my mistake was a perfect fit! The more bags the better and the longer you get to mow in between dumping's.

Used your instructions and leveled my deck for the first time (I am seventy something). It went very smoothly. Thank you for making this video. Much appreciated. And I am subscribing.

Thanks for making this video. I tried the steps in the video on my Craftsman 46 (Husqvarna) and saw a great improvement! No more stairstep cuts. Thanks again!

The Best and easiest instructions I have ever seen. This guy should have his own TV show. Great Job..👍👍👍👍

Thanks, you got me mowing again. I watched a few different videos, but your’s was straight forward and most helpful.

Thank you! Your video was super helpful and easy-to-follow. I'm generally not too good with repairing things, but you made it simple. Our lawn should look much better after this adjustment!

Nice one Jim. It's pretty easy once someone shows you how to do it.

Well,people like you are a genuine good human being who wants to help his fellow human (man),don’t come across many,than you and god bless you,will keep watching,thanks again mate👍

Thanks 🙏🏻 your video was very straightforward and informative

To make the job a little easier, cut 3 or 4 blocks of wood at the right size you need and mark the sizes. That way your not fighting with a tape measure. Thanks for the video.

I have used your video several times to review this procedure. Thank you.

Last step I needed to complete my rebuild. Thanks!

Once again I use your video instruction and nothing goes wrong! Thanks 😊

Thanks. Great directions - oral and visual presentation easy to understand. God bless you!

Very easy to follow and right to the point.

Short and sweet. Thanks as the manual doesn't have this info. Great video.

Thank you, Sir. Very simple and straightforward.

Great video! Thanks for show how to fix deck issues!!

Nice to work on a brand new mower, blessings

I needed to watch this years ago. Thx

Same procedures for my Husky TS 348 XD; good vid - very simple and straight forward. Good job!

Good word -- very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I have felt like mine was off ever since I bought it new last summer, It seems to cut much lower than my previous mower even at the highest level

Great video. Professional done! Such a clean mover!!

Hey thanks a lot for that video, you're awesome, I have to level mine today, it's cutting scalping my lawn a little bit have a good one!!!

My deck is a little different but, still the same idea. Thank you!!

Very helpful, straight-forward information.

Thanks for the video! always wondered how to level the deck

You just made my job a lot easier thank you.

Great video, really needed this.

thanks! I gave you a thumb-up. I found mine was right at 2-1/2" at the front. I wanted to raise it a 1/2" any-way, cause it cuts too short. thanks again! PS, mine is a 2013 22V46.

Another great video of yours that has helped me. Not sure if I missed you saying it but, it’s probably worth noting that you had your deck raised to the highest setting before you started adjusting everything. Keep up the great work!

Good video. My Husqvarna has two adjustments in the rear, one on each side, and one in the front. Thanks

Thanks bro that help me out a lot I was getting twisted on which way the nuts tighten. Thanks again Allen later

GREAT EXPLANING AND PICS THANKS VERY MUCH U WERE A LOTTA HELP NOW I MOW EVEN THANK U,,,

Thank you for an extremely helpful and informative video, also the oil change video was very helpfull and informative

Thank you very much. You do a great job of teaching.

the best chuck it out the mower I have ever owned.

Anoterh Awesome 'How To' video by DIY Jim! Thanks Jim, I'm learning a lot from you!

Thank you for this! Didn’t know you could raise and lower the deck.

Thanks - i was changing a tire and left my mower on a crane - the weight shifted the bolts and lowered cutting deck -

Hate to admit all this time I didn't know that front rod raised the front...Thanks.

YOU ARE APPRECIATED! YOUR VIDEO WAZ GOLD STAR FOR ME .

Just watched this video. Great information and will be trying it soon

Great video, thank you very much! In the video, I noticed that your deck height selector was at it's "max deck height" position (number 6), when you were showing us how to do the adjustments. My question is, "Is 3.5 inches in height for the rear of the deck at max height, listed by Husqvarna's factory service manual as the correct height for that setting? Thanks for any reply, and thanks again for the lesson. 👍

Very informative and to the point!

Thank you, sir! This answered my question.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

So very helpful.

Excellent Tutorial. (Even I can understand it!)

Good stuff!

Thanks, you were a great help. 👍👍👍👍👍

Helpful video. Thanks

Great info, appreciate you!

Thanks, great explanation!!

Not everyone has a four foot level. The basic process is the same for all makes - put your tractor on a level surface, measure the height of the deck rim first on both sides and adjust using the rods... then measure in front and in back and check which hole the front support arm should be in to give a slight rise in front.

Thanks mate I will try it today. 👍

Very helpful. Thanks so much.😎

Much appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Very helpful thanks so much

Hey Jim you do a great job!

Great info 👍👍

Last week my Husky started self destructing as I was mowing. A major weld broke from the bracket holding the deck. When it was welded they missed the seam completely and the weld was also cold. Sure wish I had bought another MTD!! Husky sucks! This is also a replacement mower. The first one had the transaxle replaced three times!

Thanks a lot

I was able to tighten the left side only about a half turn. So now I'm at the top of the threads. Still the left side is lower than discharge side.

Thanks👍

Ty for this.

Good to Know thanks.

But DAMN those guns though

Thank you

Your awesome!!! Save me a lot of time>

Wait, What??? That thing isn’t green? Great video and needed as grass trimming will begin in a week or so up Heyah in Maine, Ayuh...

Thanks for the info. My husqvarna was not same height left and right side from factory. Why do they want front to be lower than the front?

Good video.

Gonna try

Good job teaching us but what about the spacer nut in the front. Is the nut supposed to be rounded? Thanks again for the help

Good job, help me alot

This would work if the deck was what actually cut the grass. If you want to do it much more efficiently and be precise with it, the right tool for the job is available for @ $10 online. 👊

I couldn't see, but did he mention the fuel pump, if it is faulty, it won't suck the fuel up to the carburetor.

I have the same mower and last year I hit a rock while mowing the ditch next to the road and bent a blade really badly. It also broke the spindle. So I just replaced the spindle and blades and the deck was uneven. It only had an adjustment on one side and I had to max it out to make it even. The belt was ruined by the broken spindle so I replaced it as well. Now the weird part…when on the highest setting the blade is now engaged and I can’t even turn the engagement lever to the position it is supposed to be in for blade engagement. I’m not sure why but I actually like it a little bit because I don’t have to disengage the blade to back up anymore which always annoyed me and the height is perfect for the way I like to cut my grass anyway. And when I hit a tall and thick spot I can just press the engagement lever towards the position for engagement and it prevents the belt from slipping and powers right on through it. I am going to take a look and see if I can figure out what is causing this I guess but I had to get the grass mowed before it got completely out of control and like I said I kind of like the way it worked. The only thing is that I can’t disengage the blades so it could be a little inconvenient at some point. If you have any ideas why this might be happening I would appreciate your input and thanks for reading this long comment. I appreciate your videos and I have found them helpful! 👍

Did you have the deck in the full “UP” position when making your adjustments??

According to the manual, when adjusting the level of the Husqvarna deck. You measure from the ground to the blade. Though don't know if there's any difference compared to measuring from the ground to the bottom of the deck frame.

Worked like a charm! Thanks for your help!!!
