Check with MTD if possible,their decks are used in different applications and(used)to be coded such as "G","H" etc.Production cost of lower priced line of tractors results in elimination of some items over more expensive,ie:welded skids instead of rollers/wheels,plastic instead of metal pieces,plastic or bronze bushings instead of bearings etc.If your particular deck is also used on a "high line" tractor,it well may be equipped with wheels or rollers on that application.Most older MTDs use a "suspended" deck that hangs from the tractor and any wheels only contact the ground for anti scalp reasons.Other tractors(Murray)for instance uses a "rolling" deck which it designed to actually roll along the ground on its own wheels/rollers,pulled along by the tractor somewhat like a trailer.On suspended decks cutting hight is set by tractor lift lever,On trailing decks height is set by deck wheel adjustment.Altering the deck with unauthorized modifications may void your entire warranty,again a reason to check w/mfg.
