ABSTRACT:
An adjustable gauge wheel support structure is provided for selectively adjusting the height of cut of a mower deck. The structure includes a gauge wheel carried on a U-shaped arm which is pivotally attached to a deck bracket. A spring loaded J-pin locking mechanism is provided to secure the arm in a plurality of positions relative to the bracket. The wheel is supported on one of the parallel legs of the U-shaped arm and twisting forces encountered by the wheel and its supporting leg are resisted through locking the two legs and bracket together with the J-pin. No tools are required to adjust the wheel height and no parts have to be removed or loosened to make the adjustments, thereby minimizing the likelihood that parts will be lost or misplaced.
