How to Level a Mower Deck for a Toro

If you end up with an uneven lawn just after you have mowed it, you might need to level the deck on your mower. An unlevel deck on your Toro lawnmower is easy to fix as the adjustment for your deck height is on every wheel. You will want to check your deck height at the beginning of every mowing season to make sure you won't be cutting your grass unevenly all summer.

Things You'll Need

• 4 blocks of wood
• Hammer

Instructions

1. Push your Toro lawnmower to a level area.

2. Lift up every corner of your Toro deck and slide a block of wood under it. This will get the weight off of the wheels.

3. Locate the wheel height adjustment lever on the inside area of each Toro wheel. It is a seven=toothed plate with a lever that has a notch in it for height adjustment.

4. Count how many teeth back the lever is placed from the front of the seven toothed plate. Do this on every wheel. They should all be on the same tooth in order for them to be at the same height.

5. Adjust the levers on every wheel to be on the same height tooth. Tap the lever off of the tooth it is set at with a hammer. Push or pull the lever to the correct tooth and let it snap back into place with the notch in the lever over the tooth of choice on the plate.
