My stiga park is cutting unevenly. One of the three cutting blades seems to be lower than the othes

SOURCE: I have a craftman 42 in dual blade riding mower.

Either the deck is uneven or one of the blades are upside down

SOURCE: How do I get my mower deck set properly? Any tricks?

check your front tire air pressures

SOURCE: uneven grass cutting

I have seen dull blades, blades not installed right and an un-level deck cause that.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Cuts uneven, lawn looks terrible. Missing half

Are your blades upside down? Mower deck level?Proper air pressure all 4 tires?Correct blades for the diameter of cut? Deck bent? Deck hangers bent?

SOURCE: My mowers cuts uneven I replaced the blades but it

Park mower on a level flat surface ( a concrete garage floor is ideal ) lift deck up until you can put a piece of a 2x4 flat underneath the deck and lower deck until it just contacts the 2x4. loosen adjustment nuts or turnbuckles and adjust until the deck just starts to clear the 2x4. this should level your deck. Now , lift the deck and remove the 2x4. put blade height lever on a known cut length and with a tape measure, measure the tips of the blades from the floor to the blade tip...they should all be the same within 1/8 of an inch...if not then you either have a bent blade, bent spindle shaft, or spindle bolts are loose or misaligned. Your deck could be warped too...depending on how hard a lick it took...good luck !!! ;-D
