LTX1046KW Mower Deck
 
Is there a way to adjust (raise) the mower deck besides the wheels. The mower has about 60 hrs on it. The wheels are set to the highest mowing position and the cutting height on the highest setting and the mower cuts
too low. 2 1/4" approx. Tire pressure is correct.

Thanks for the fast response. My issue is with the deck lift handle is in the highest cutting position, the deck is cutting at 2 1/4" which is too low for me. The cutting height has been
decreasing over time. Is something failing ?

Pretty sure that tractor has some sort of cable deck lift setup. Take a look underneath and see if something is worn out or failing.

I've got an LTX1042 and as far as I know, the lift lever is your only height adjustment. The deck wheels have nothing really to do with mowing height. They are anti-scalp wheels - not deck height wheels. If the cut is looking shorter, check the air in the tires and the front to back deck level. If the deck is pitched to low the front, the deck will effectively cut lower.

Good luck,
Bill

Ended up being the cables on the lift control stretched. I relocated the the cables in the lower Clevis pin holes and that took care of my issue. I thank everyone for their input!
