Thanks for the offer, but I picked one up off ebay years back. I had been mowing in an area for the first time and some old field fence got snagged by my mower belt tensioning rod and ripped the whole works off. That manual was needed.
I have a sticker on the deck for the gauge wheel settings in relation to the cutting height.
I cut at 3 inches now and the wheels are set to the third hole from the top. I might change the height to 3.5 inches today with the hot/dry weather coming.
