Haas: The arm coming out from deck that the right caster mounts on was bent, looks like caster wheel hit an obstacle during a right hand turn. Straightened that and reassembled then had to place a flat washer under it on caster spindle. This made it same height both sides.

I notice the pivot bolt that attaches back of deck to the cross member is worn badly, letting back of deck down a bit. If I jack in there until the pivot bolt comes straight, it gives right elevation front to rear. I'll take that apart tomorrow, fix the holes and replace the bolt.

This is about the first fixing I've done since I bought the mower used 4 years ago. This is one of the old 59HB-1 models, and I modified the mounting to fit the Super A Essentially I built the mounting hardware as nothing from the Farmall B fit. Fabricating the mounting and new blades were all I did back then. I didn't expect the belt to last as one end of it had been in a pool of oil before I bought the mower. I bought a new belt last year, however the old one is still going. Must have some good life left in it as the first time I mowed this spring I had about 8" of grass.

I don't mow a lot of ground, probably 1.5 acres, but some of it is quite rough. I just putter along in 1st gear, no point in busting things. I Have my blades set at 4", don't believe in scalping the ground, plus a long grass lawn doesn't burn up as fast in dry weather It takes me litle better than an hour to mow, right now about every 5 days. That will slack off as summer goes along.
