    Attaching the 38" mower deck for John Deere 111
    I took off the deck to replace the blades, now I can't get it to hang right when I re-attach it. There are 6 linkage points - all attached by cotter pin: 2 @ the very front of the tractor (they actually go on a rod that attaches to the frame), 2 more at about the mid point (under the foot rests), and finally the 2 that attach to the lift-lever just inboard from the second two.

    When I remove all the supports, the deck hangs crooked. The front left corner hangs low, and the whole thing appears to shift to the right.

    Hopefully someone has had some experience with this and can tell me what I'm missing. The drive belt is in place and all tightened up. One of the lift-lever linkages is adjustable, but I haven't changed anything about it since I removed it.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    Had to look around for the clearest picture I could find. The ones in the middle are slotted at the top and mount with the hanger outside the deck weldment. The left one looks like it could go either way on some. See attached.
    Peace,
    Clarke
