I've searched but not found anything. Any help is appreciated.
Did about 90 minutes of mowing yesterday and the mower deck is stuck in the low position and will not raise. While mowing I raised and lowered the deck depending on grass height to avoid clogging the discharge and whenever I found I was scalping (or going through a gopher mound !) Right at the end I found the deck was all the way down - it had been in the raised position not 5 minutes before.
The pto turns and the blades cut. I just can't raise the deck.
The 3 point arms travel through their complete range when operating the lever, but the deck does not move.
Is something jammed ? Is something disconnected ?
This tractor is new to me about a year ago. I have never had the deck off.
The loader is off at this time and was off the entire time while mowing.
Thanks in advance (new member)
