Per the 2007 rules I need some help understanding something about a mower deck.
The rules state that a minimum of 4" ground clearance for the frame-UNDERSTOOD
The rules state that a minimum of 2.5" ground clearance from lowest point of deck-UNDERSTOOD
If I install my factory deck (halves) that are 4.5" in height, my frame will have to have a ground clearance of 7" to have a deck clearance of 2.5"
Now a frame sitting at 7" ground clearance seems kinda high to me. Can we "SHAVE" the deck a little to lower the frames overall height?
