My 2014 D140 cutting deck gives me un even cuts even after I leveled the deck. Blades are fresh sharpened from store. Is there anything I'm not thinking of? Chad

SOURCE: I sharpened the blades at the end of last mowing

The problem you discribe is the classic broken blade spindle or quill. The tube that supports the bearings between the deck pulleys and the blades is almost certainly broken. Look under the deck [mower OFF] at the piece right above the blade that is malfunctioning and you will probably find a bad bearing or a chunk of the tube that holds the bearing/blade to be missing. That happens when the blade gets 'wacked'. The outer edge is cutting too high because the belt is pulling the shaft toward the center of the deck. The quills are fairly easy to replace. Get the model number off your tractor before you go to buy the part.

SOURCE: can't level deck.

try checking the blade spindle to see if there is any play (up,down,left,right) hope this helps

SOURCE: 42" deck not cutting level

I had a similar problem, and the problem was fixed by airing up one of my front tires. This may not be all of the problem, but you should eliminate this before you go adjusting.......
