Mower Blade Pitch: Factory Tilt Is Intentional Design

Riding mower decks are designed with a front-to-rear tilt (typically ¼-¾ inch higher in front). This isn't a defect — it ensures even cutting over uneven ground. Set all four deck wheels to the same height notch; the built-in angle handles the rest.

Verification

Measure deck-to-ground distance on both sides (left/right). Adjust lift links if uneven. Front-to-back pitch is fixed by design.
