My 44" rider cuts to short for my liking

tefariss · #1 Mar 4, 2006, 12:46 PM

I'm looking for advice. I raised the rear of my deck by moving the adjustments so now I want to put bigger deck leveling wheels to raise the front. It has three wheels lined up on the axle. Looks like clearance enough for wheels an inch larger. I can't stand cutting my lawn short and the highest setting was two low me my taste.
Thanks

What brand?

It's a AYP 18 HP 44".

About how high do you have it now? You could try looking at pushmower wheels, stuff like that.

I adjusted the rear up to about 4 inches. The front deck wheels are not adjustable so I'm thinking about finding a longer axle and putting a couple of pushmower wheels on either side of the existing deck wheels. It just might work! What do you think?
thanks

It might.... though pushmower wheels are pretty cheap to try.
