Howdy everyone, thanks for all your info and tips. Great Kubota community which is why I have two of them myself.

I have a question about mower deck leveling on a zd18 with a 54" deck. I decided to get new blades for her and figured that a deck leveling was in order. The manual has some instructions on leveling, simple enough, but it is tricky to get it right. Lots of up and down and going around and still it's being difficult. If it anint broke don't fix it, but I tried to fix it and here I am.:confused:

I am using a couple of 2x4's to support the deck off of a level floor. The manual says 2" block, but I offset the measurement to get the height to the blade. I am also trying to get the back end up about 1/4" to 1/2".

Is there anyone out there that has a true tested way to level the deck properly or do I just go with the manual and keep on fine tuning? Painful but it sure seems simple until you do it.

Thanks friends and I appreciate the help.
