On these rods there are 3/4 nuts that are the mower rake adjustment.First start by positioning one of the blades to a front/rear orientation. <easure the height of the blade from floor at the front part of blade and then the rear.The front measurement should be a maximum of 1/4 inch lower than the rear.
