In this video, we level the cutting deck on a John Deere Z525E Zero Turn Mower. We use a Amazon Deck Living Tool to make sure the left, right and center of the deck are all level.
For proper leveling on the 525 the front measurement should be 1/8 to 1/4 inch LOWER than your side measurements. So for sides at 4 your front should be 3 3/4 to 3 7/8. Having the front slightly lower gives you the best cut and will eliminate the top of the grass from browning after cutting.
A good way to do it, I barrowed one of those and a blade balancer from work... I did that setting to my JD 214 deck I did it in the garage but my garage has a slope to the center drain that you cannot really see with the naked eye OOps Love that guy at the beginning, he was a very wise man!
Thank you for this video. I live alone during growing season and am on very tight budget. So no hiring help to mow my two acres of grass or maintain my equipment.
The vibration of the mower will cause the nuts to back off. Like you had the set screws on front, use safety wire to keep your back screws from backing out next time. Great video again. See ya next time
Great video, I use blue Loctite gel on the threads before making the adjustments, it doesn't lock things down like red loctite it has just enough grab to keep things from vibrating loose
