I've had my cub for about a year now and have a question. This may be hard to explain so please bear with me. I use the deck leveling guage and this is the procedure I go thru. First air tires properly then check outside tip of right blade and then check outside tip of left blade. On deck height setting of 5 my right blade measures exactly 3" and my left blade measures 2 3"4 ". My problem is my deck is adjusted as high as it will go. Is there any other adjustment that is not in the book or I don't know about? Thanks for any help. I know 1/4" is not very much but I have a bad case of OCD.

Should be left blade measures 2 3/4" NOT 2 3"4"

Over time the lift arms & pivot points wear .
Wear will cause the deck to hang lower than it used to.
Because of the torque reaction to the rotation of the blades the wear is not even on both sides.
