Re: (ET) More on mower cutting height
Bill,
1) You mention 5" caster wheels. The standard wheels are 6" in diameter:

2) Parts have been swapped around a lot over the past 40 years. Did
someone by chance put mid-mount type motors in your front-mount deck?
The mid-mount mowers hang about 1/2" lower below the deck shell. The
front-mount motors have the breaker on top of the motor, with a fairly
deep cap to cover them. The mid-mount motors have the breaker on the
side with a semi-rectangular cover plus a much more shallow cap on top
of the motor.
3) Is the deck shell bent? Side discharge units, or rear discharge units
missing the side cover, are especially prone to this. Bascially the
middle sags down over time and/or after being stood on.

Thanks for your responses on this subject. My E-12 deck label says M/N
26AA42KA, S/N FR15877. Maybe this info will tell someone why my deck at
full height adjustment has a cutting height of only 2 1/2 inches unlike
everyone else. I have 5-inch front casters with 5 half-inch spacers, and
2 1/2 inch diameter rollers with 6 pin hole adjustments. Maybe my motors
stick down lower into the deck. Thats the only difference there could
be. I measure the blades to be 4 inches below the deck. Does that
compare with everybody else?trak
