Abstract
A lawn mower comprises a cutting deck 2 mounted on at least first and second wheel assemblies. The first and second wheel assemblies comprise, respectively, first and second height adjustment mechanisms 22. The first height adjustment mechanism 22 comprises a first pivoting mechanism 22 pivotal about a first axis for adjustment of the height of the deck above the first wheel assembly. The second height adjustment 22 mechanism comprises a second pivoting mechanism 22 pivotal about a second axis, parallel to the first axis, for adjustment of the height of the deck above the second wheel assembly. A connection or bar 38 is formed between the first and second pivoting mechanisms for pivoting the first and second pivoting mechanisms in opposite directions about the first and second axis, respectively. Each of the pivoting mechanisms 22 raise the height of the deck 2 by substantially equal mounts when pivoted through any part of their full range of pivotal movement.
