Hello.
I've run into a problem and either bent something to do with my MMM links, or severely put something out of adjustment. Wondering if anyone has done the same or can assess what is the likely part to change. I bottomed out the R side of the mower deck on a mound of dirt, mowing in the orchard.
What is obvious is that the link rod arm, on the left side of the machine, that attaches the 3pt arm to the mower deck, is coming into contact with the lever for the PTO engagement. If the deck is not raised up all of the way, it actually pushes the PTO lever off of the safety switch, and prevents the tractor from starting.
I cannot engage PTO at all. Only other part I can see that may be shifted, is the lift link rod, that connects the left side and right side, directly over the mower deck, and allows the 3pt link to rotate. Looking closely, i can see a clean line in the metal where it looks like the part shifted.
Any advice before I go to the dealer?
Thanks! Michael in Ontario
