I would suggest checking your owner's manual. There is a leveling process and my Craftsman wasn't leveled at the factory. Once I leveled mine, it cut fine. If you can't find it in your manual, google leveling craftsman mower deck.

My tractor cuts uneven when i am cutting my yard

Check your blades common problem with uneven cut is a bent blade. Next find a level spot like a padio and take a torpedo level place it on the front center side to side not front to rear. On one side or the other you should see a J(jay) bolt with a nut tighten to raise losen to lower.

42 inch mower cuts uneven, what is the problem?

Several things here could be the problem. Check to see if mower deck is level, measure distance on both side on a level surface. Check tire's for low air. If you've replace the mandrel's lately, some have a left & right side & if not put back together properly this will cause uneven cutting

Sears Tractor Mower 42" is cut cutting lawn in two uneven strips

First, check the blade, it may be bent. If not, there is an adjustment nut (9/16) on each side in the middle of the deck hanger bracket. Get on level surface and screw each up or down to get blade tips the same height on each side.

Cuts lawn uneven, one side shorter than other

Was it cutting uneven before you changed blades? If so, you may not have gotten the blade on the shaft correctly. There is an adjustment in the center of the deck hanger on each side. You can turn the 9/16 nut up or down on each side to level it out.
