Just sold our BX2660 and purchased a B2601 and 60” mmm. Well today cut a few paths and it seemed to be uneven.
Looking in the owners manual gave me no clear answer on how to adjust deck. it looks as though rear deck hangers have to be disconnected turned a few times, then reattach deck and repeat until level. Does anyone know if this sounds correct?

Thanks David

Lets check the easy stuff 1st - all tires at a proper pressure?

Several others will chime in on the hangers and deck adjustments.

If dealer is close by - may want to check in with them rather than do it all yourself - not often you need to RE-adjust the height once it gets corrected.

You have it exactly correct. I noticed that each time I put the deck on it is a little off from the last deck install, but not that much. The right and left blade tips vary 1/8" to 1/4" of an inch in height so not really able to notice the difference in the cut.

And that children is why I but new wheels every other year. I know they are anti scalp wheels but once I set them I dont worry no mo! And wheels are cheap in the total scheme of things

You have to remove link on mower deck to turn adjustment screw then reattach.

Some times you get lucky and can just swing the adjustment fixture forward or backward without removing it from the lift arm. Other times it's just easier removing it from the arm then making the height adjustment.
