Good morning all. I’ve never done the forum thing before so bear with me. I bought a used HDZT52, the Blacked out Stealth version and have been SUPER pleased with it with her. I call her Betty, old RAM JAM reference for us old guys. I don’t have any pictures to post…yet. I mow several acres of country yard so it’s not level and rough in places. When I first got Betty, I put a mulching kit on the deck which worked great for controlling exhaust dust. Now there is an extreme amount of dust coming from the front left side. I’ve noticed that the deck is almost touching the drive tire on the left side of the mower while the right side is almost 3 inches from the right tire. I also noticed that the deck hangers are angled to the back on the left side but almost straight up and down on the right side. Should the hangers be straight up and down and should the deck be square with the drive tires?

Is this a Gravely zero turn? We need more information such as complete model number and pictures? Is the deck level? Is it cutting OK?

Hello K.,

Welcome to the forum.

We need the product label information that is on the chassis frame or under the seat area. My allotment of wild guesses has been cut off until the new year's. (playful sarcasm)

Notice how close the deck is to the back tire in the first picture as opposed to the last. The deck has a factory mulch kit on it and I just paid $200 to have the unit serviced and deck leveled.
