tractor, but.

The Sears guy came to see the mower for the 2nd time about a month ago, at
my request to check the engine after the motor was stopped cold by a friggen
twig, anyway.

The Sears guy did like the Toro (32" 8hp rear engine) and looked at that
more than the one he was supposed to be looking at, but I digress.

I have really have liked the new mower since I took apart the seat kill
switch and fixed it so I could lean or stand up if I have to (a little
cardboard and some shipping tape did the trick)  yea, I was gonna do paper
clips but it is a four wire switch etc. Oh and the new blades are allot
tougher.

The reason I called Sears this time (I'm starting to think I'm a pain in the
ass) but, The mower deck has 6 settings as do most, and well 3 hits the
ground and 2 and 1 ,  well, don't work.

So I went to Sears today and checked all their models, guess what?  All of
the mowers worked from 1 to 6 and topped out at four inches. (yes I brought
a tape measure too)

The deck just sits to low, for instance I need to mow at a height of 5 and
even then I'm at a mere 1 1/2 inches ( it tops out at 1 3/4 inches at six)

The Mower deck is supposed to max out on 6 at a level of 4 inches

I tried adjusting everything! I even went to Tractor Supply and bought a
cable crimp and put it on the "non adjustable" side (then adjusted the other
side) , but then level one, two and six did not work (but I did get about 3
1/2 inches of blade height at level 5).

Any ideas????
I have a month before I can just return it, but like I said there are allot
of things I like about this mower.

 This is beaten to death. For God's sake return it and get a good  mower. Why
are you so in love with an apparent piece of shit. There are lots of good
ones out there, sold by people who will look after you.

I agree.
For the OP>   Take off the new blades you put on. Have them replace the
mower with one that does have all the height settings, and then replace
the blades with the new ones you bought, or...
Get your money back and buy a different mower.

Oh I still have the old blades you bet.
If the unit does go back it won't be with the new blades.

Not patient man Jacko?
This is their last chance on the mower, It's not so much I love it but,  the
features it has are the one's Kathy likes.
And after all in her words she wants to be comfortable and be able to mow
with it when " Your not around "
of course meaning if I get hit by a meteorite tomorrow and die.
time will tell.
