    Mowing  62C deck, after all these years I still can't get it level.

    At low angles you can see that the 62c deck is cutting grooves when I mow in a back-and-forth pattern. It also cuts a sawtooth if I mow in "spirals". I have always had trouble since I got in 2004 trying to get it to cut perfect. Somehow I can never get it level. I use carpenter's level...
