Machines | DIY: How To Level the Deck on a MTD Lawn Mower : Bolens, Toro, Yard Machines
videos | at work | information | view | construction
This video shows how to properly level the mowing deck on most models of MTD, Bolens, Toro, or Yard Machines riding lawn mowers. Symptoms: Mower cuts lower on one side. Mower grabs the grass instead of cutting it cleanly. Improper air pressure is the number one reason mowers do not cut level. **Be sure to disconnect the battery and engage the parking brake prior to performing maintenance on your mower.** Click the links below to view other videos related to the MTD Gold Riding Mower: Change the Air Filters: https://youtu.be/Q0v2aVAplq0 Change the Main Deck Belt: https://youtu.be/SdG61kFMEEc Change the Upper Drive Belt: http://youtu.be/G20J6LrHgM8 To visit the main channel, click the link below: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1ZkGuxZGhq04vg-_WtATGA

How to adjust on 15-20 years old POS MTD ? It's belt driven and too high doesnt engage the belt..

I bought a used 46" Yard Machine, and it seems like even the highest cut setting is way too low. Is there a good way to raise the overall height, not just the tilt?

Bought a used 42 inch cut rider ( my first ever ) not long ago and had a heck of a time getting the deck level. First time I mowed it cut low on my left and high on my right. Before I mowed today, I adjusted the hex nut until that side of the deck was at its highest position. It still cut high on that side of the deck so I moved the anti scalping wheel on the left to a lower position. Cutting pretty good now. Next time I mow though, I'm going to need to lower the hex nut a notch or two. Trial & Error, I suppose. I mean, it's cutting good, but my OCD gets the best of me every time :P

Whats the best type of blade for grass bagging on these mowers ? One that you have with serrated edges ? Or a regular blade ?

My cutter belt is smoking. Just started. Some type of friction. Is there a rider pully and how to fix it? This is on a Bolens.
