Bx23s & mmm

[Giglr]

Got a question on my MMM. I raise the deck and turn the knob to the top position, which in its self is chore, doesn't turn easy. Anyway, when I lower the 3 point, the mower deck drops a few inches. Is this normal or should it not move at all?

First thing to do is check the owners manual - it shows you how to lock it in the top position.

I believe there is a nut/bolt adjustment behind the rear left wheel.

Also - spray some lube on the threads of knob too.

Even when the deck is locked on TOP it will bleed down a little. Also before adjusting the knob make sure to raise the deck all way up, it will make it much easier turn.

On my bx23s the deck barely moves when the knob is at “top”.

I lock mine in top and lower the deck, I figure let the stoped carry the load instead of the hydraulics. But to answer the question; yes mine drops about +-1" til it is resting on the stops.

Some BXs have a bit of a problem with the lock as the knob shows it in all the way up the latch is only about 3/4 way, and adjustment is needed behind the left wheel so the deck gets up high enough to latch in the top lock
