Thanks for this video. Yesterday's mowing produced the smoothest cut I've gotten this year. Someone commented about calibrating the blade height with weight in the seat to simulate the operator's weight, 200 pounds in my case. A stack of fertilizer bags, dog food bags worked great for this. This trick made about 1/4 difference in the actual blade height. I wanted to shoot for 3.5 inch actual grass height. For leveling and calibration purposes, calibrating with blocks 3.0 inches tall and calibrating with the control lever on the 3.25 inch setting, the desired grass height was achieved This includes allowing for my 200 pound mass in the driver seat. When mowing, the control lever is set for 3.5 inches. When leveling the mower deck, jostling the mower deck up and down a few times while performing the height adjustment gave best results. Only one calibration block is needed for this. It is important to check the deck height back and forth between the two sides 2-3 times. Once the side adjustments are satisfactory. The front adjustment can be done using the same calibration block, eyeballing the bottom rim of the deck to be about 1/4 inch below the top surface of the cal block. Now I have a method for quickly checking deck height and level quickly any time it might be needed. Thank you for the video.

Not sure I would think that would work. I just went by the manual. Thanks for watching

@@DIYJIM I understand you trust the manual and that they have a reason for this method. The only reason that makes sense to me is that they are trying to make it simple and as foolproof as possible and think different block sizes could be mixed up. You adjusted the deck with 2" blocks then lowered the front and rechecked the rear spacing. It seems using custom blocks would get the same result, I'm not trying to argue, I just want to understand John Deere's reasoning in case there's some aspect I'm missing. Great series of videos, clear and thorough, a breath of fresh air among KZbin DIY videos where some guy is in a dark garage, using a drop light he has to move frequently, holding his phone in one hand while he demonstrates with the other, often blocking the view while the camera bounces around enough to make you seasick, all while it seems like the first time he ever attempted the repair. Keep up the good work!
