I've been told my John Deere X324 should be running at 3600 rpm with mower engaged and not mowing. Mine is only at 3320 with nothing engaged. The plate the throttle cable goes to is at the bottom of its slot, so no more adjustment there. Where is the next place for adjustment? Is there a stop screw? I am trying to solve debris sticking to top of perfectly clean mower deck above middle blade whenever the mower is modestly challenged (a bit long or wet), and thought that making sure speed is correct would be a good start. Blades are sharp.

yes. your mower has a blade engagement cable attached to the drive sheve. i am providing a link to the manual which shows this.

If it has a clutch, that would be the problem. An electric clutch will kick on and off when it is hot if it is bad.

Hey, the "round cylinder" is a power steering motor for a John Deere 630. If you start looking for one of those instead, I'll bet you'll have better luck. Deere dealerships tend to not care unless you're buying a half million dollars in equipment.

Move machine to flat/level surface,with deck raised put a 2x4 between rear of deck and ground.Make sure that the 2x4 goes all the way under deck from one side too the other.Once that is done lower deck all the way and make sure lift lever is all the way forward.Then on the rear top side of deck loosen bolt that holds arm to deck bracket,pull bracket as far down as you can then retighten bolt.This is also the point where you can level deck side to side.
