Hi there,

I just bought a used GT 2550. I needed something beefier to handle my sloped lawn and it sure fits the bill. That said, it's been well used so I've been fixing a few things to get it back into top shape. I'm having an issue with leveling the deck from front to back. Right now the back is a full inch higher than the front, instead of the the 1/8" - 1/4" it should be. The front mount rod is adjusted all the way tight, leaving no more ability to raise the front further.

I suspect the front mount rod is bent. The previous owner (not original) had mentioned the front of the deck catching on his trailer. Perhaps he bent it, or it was catching because it was already bent and hanging low when he bought it?

Anyhow, I am hoping for some input. I am going to try and attach a photo in hopes that someone can tell me if it looks off visually. What would be even better is if I could get an angle measurement of the front mount rod so I know what it is supposed to be. I think I'll be having to get out a torch and doing some bending back to shape. Thanks for any help!
