Note: Carlisle 15 x 6.00 - 6 tires are actually 14.3 in diameter as per the Carlisle web site.
Note: Set the tire pressure; as per the manual:
CHECK TiRE PRESSURE
The tires on your tractor were over inflated at the factory for shipping purposes. Correct tire pressure is important for best cutting performance.
• Reduce tire pressure to PSI shown on tires.The blades appear to ALWAYS be out of balance as well. Put the blade height in setting 6 :
1: on a level pavement, rotate the blades so they are pointing straight forward. Measure the front and back end of the same blade. If they are not the same length, adjust the single front adjustment arm until the blade is level.
2: on a level pavement, rotate the blades so they are pointing side ways. Measure both outside ends of the two blades. If they are not the same, adjust the single side adjustment arm until the blades are level.
Setting 6 should then be 4 1/2 inches high

Let's see if this works - I can't see Gregory Benn's update on this site but I can see it in my inbox. Adding it on since Greg added some things on scalping:
Like Randy said... my deck and blade were way off too. The instructions tell you to adjust the air pressure, once you do that- park the mower on a level surface and get yourself a short ruler and do an accurate measurement of the blade heights (left/right & front/back) just like the instructions say. Once I did that and got the blades level, then adjusted the anti-scalping wheels since they too were off. After all that.... finally, it worked. Good luck.

No, they will not answer, don’t know why. It appears they have more questions asked than actually answered.
My deck, brand new, was waaaaaayyyy out of balance. Put your mower on four bricks (so you can see what you are doing with a tape measure) and balance the deck to the blade height – not the deck: obviously adjust the height number with the height of the brick. It resolved my issues.
I tried putting on 16” wheels, that worked but I wasn’t comfortable with the front link assembly as it used almost all of the length of the assembly, so I put the 15s back on.
The two point link adjusters is a weak design. The more expensive models have a three point adjustment which would allow balance as well as raise/lower. Adding another side assembly (I *think* #532195264) should fit on this model but I did have to go there.
There is a lot of discussions as to why 15” mower tires aren’t actually 15 inches (but 16s are) but I didn’t chase that either since mine now functions

OK I don't get it; the front tire are rated at 15x6.00x6NHS. The 15 is the diameter, but the tire actually is 13 inches tall - time to go back to Lowes and ask WTF

I also just bought a Husqvarna YTH22V46 and found out the deck is too low. Unfortunately I found this out after the blade caught a rock and snapped the mandrel. After reading on this site I notice that this is a common problem but there are no answers being provided, therefore my options are:
- Return the mower and get my money back (still under warranty) and buy a John Deer from Home Depot.
- Replace the 15” front tires with 16” tires ($42 each at Lowes).
- Get another adjustable link and place it on the other side as well so the entire deck can be raised more (will be hard since the provided repair part manual doesn’t actually reference the link)
It appears that 3 inches is as high as the deck goes (the more expensive mowers go higher by at least 1/2 inch)
