Thanks for posting the blade adjustment instructions. I did mine Saturday morning and it improved the cut dramatically. I had previously done the deck leveling using the manual, but I don't think it included the instructions to have the front facing blade tip 1/8 to 3/16 lower than the rear facing tip. My front facing blade tips were nearly 1/2 inch lower than the rear facing tips.

Just an update.....this past weekend I disassembled the front end and took the entire front mounting piece over to my dads shop to try and get it back in place as it should be. Put it in vise, heated with torch and was able to get it pulled back in about 1/2". After it cooled I hit the area with some oem paint and now can't even tell anything was done to it. It doesn't have as much clearance as they do from factory, but I fixed my wheel rub issue so I'm happy. I was afraid to mess with it much more and risk screwing it up.
On a side note I also scored a nice used Tiger Striper kit for $100. I'll give it a try. If I don't like it I should be able to atleast get my money back out of it.

After looking at a new 61" Tiger Cat at my local dealer, I looked at my 20 ton press to see if the front suspension would fit into the press frame for straightening, I think that it would go. I have straightened cast steel front axles on Case/Ingersoll GTs with mild heat.
On the 61" Tiger Cub/Cats that is a long extension to the right front caster. With the Velocity decks, Scag extended them slightly more compared to machines that have the Advantage decks with a smaller chute opening.
