| Bill, I have a schematic (self-drawn) for this stuff. Shows the rear roller having six pin positions, the 6th position gives a 4" cut. The front casters call for five 1/2" spacers below the arm for a 4" cut. I've had two cutting decks with the same design. Have no scanner, can send photocopy. Jack

Re-arranging the 1/2 inch nylon spacers on the front casters is easy with the deck flipped up, but adjusting the rear roller brackets requires wrenches and is not so quick. I very seldom need to be changing the cutting height so I can live with it. But my problem is I can't get it high enough. My maximum cutting height is about 2 1/2 inches. I can't believe it was designed to have that limitation, especially for the rural user. I'm trying to grow tall fescue which is supposed to be cut at 4 inches. Do I have to get larger diameter casters and weld extensions on the roller brackets? Or make 1 1/2 inch shims for the motor mounts? Thats all I know to do. Are those shims available somewhere? Any suggestions? Thanks for any help, Bill Alburty E-12 Kansas _______________________________________________ Elec-trak mailing list Elec-trak cosmos phy tufts eduhttps://cosmos.phy.tufts.edu/mailman/listinfo.cgi/elec-trak
