How to Level the Cutting Deck on a Troy-Bilt Lawn Mower
The mower deck is the removable piece underneath the lawn mower that houses the cutting blades. When it is properly level, each side will be at the same height and you will notice the machine cutting the grass evenly when you mow. If you need to level your Troy-Bilt lawn mower deck, the machine will cut the grass at an angle with each pass. This means that in the strip of cut grass, the grass on one side of the strip will be taller than the other side. Does this Spark an idea?
