By LACK of design, is more like it. The decks are stamped, and
seldom
rigid enough to maintain alignment in any circumstances, even just
shipping from factory-to-customer.

This deck is nearly an eighth of an inch thick , made back when
quality was a consideration . I'm not sure exactly when it was made
, probably in the 80's . I'm still looking for alignment information
, found a couple of references but no actual specs/information on
what and how . I did find a mention that the front should be 1/4"
lower than the back , but no information on how to accomplish that .
Why is it that wives don't understand the drive to finish a project
while you're focused on it ?

The front/rear tilt adjustment on mine is the opposing nuts on the
threaded horizontal rods leading to the forward attachment point.

The deck suspension is a four bar linkage whose geometry may not be
easy to understand.
