Abstract
A mower deck gauge wheel adjustment mechanism includes a support attached to a multi-blade mower deck having a vertical bore. A post is welded to a yoke holding a gauge wheel, and includes a plurality of horizontal grooves, and may be inserted through the vertical bore and positioned at a selected gauge wheel height. A horizontal latch hole may be provided through the support and has a diameter that overlaps the vertical bore. A latch may be inserted through the latch hole, with a first side that engages one of the horizontal grooves when the latch is pivoted downwardly to an engaged position.
