Mule drive hanger and deck questions.
I haven't mowed with my 1872 yet. Just getting finished restoring the deck but that's for another thread. Today I installed the mule drive in anticipation of the "new" deck. So my question is about the hangers. My mower frame has two hangers between the Hydro lift and the mule frame. Left side is fixed, right side is adjustable. If I adjust the right side hanger as extended as I think is safe(full thread engagement) the left side hanger still has some slop or open space in the slot above the stud on lift arm. This means the adjustable hanger is bearing all the weight of the deck. Is this correct? I would have thought that you extended the adjustable just until both sides are holding the deck weight evenly. However ther is not enough adjustment length for that. Maybe one of my hangers is really worn or the wrong one?
Also I assume that I set the deck height with the hydro lift to the height I normally mow and then level it with the two loop style deck hangers at the front of the deck. Is this correct? The deck(Blades) shoud be level in all directions at cutting height right? How about deck wheel height from ground at mowing height. Should they be touching the ground or a little above it? I'm adjusting everything on a level garage floor. Cub mounts things different from other mowers I have owned so no previous experience with the cub way of setting the deck up.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
