1782 Cub Higher/Lower adjustment? (Rear of tractor)
 

I read through the Owners manual I downloaded online, still cannot figure out what this adjustment Lever is for. (See Pic) Thanks in advance for the help.

implement height , mower height set it so your mower wheels don't run on the ground all the time. I see you've got a 60" mower those are supposed to run on the ground IIRC.

Thank you. That makes sense. My mower wheels do carry the weight of the deck while mowing. Appreciate the response!
