Possible solution to MMM height adjustment difficulty

[McMXi]

Haha! Nope! Add 3quarts then start checking!

OK ... so you do know the approximate oil capacity.

Yup! Owned BXs for many years!

My battery came without grease fittings.

Grey import tractor?
Not a genuine Q'doba battery?

Purple. I wanted to be different.

On my BX, I had some issues a few times. The adjustment screw that @bobnic points to was the culprit once. If not set properly the deck won't go high enough to turn the knob. The second time I was low on hydraulic fluid - not enough fluid to lift the deck all the way to the top.

The hydraulic adjustment screw was not the problem. I had adjusted that earlier to make certain that when implements were raised to the max, the lift handle would return to neutral. My problem was that I lifted the mower to the max but the 3 pt arms were not all the way up. Once I have made certain those 3 pt arms are up all the way, the height adjustment knob turns easily.

Are the three point arms interfering with the mower arms? I don't think they should.

Not at all. The 3 pt arms I reference are on the back for implements. The MMM is, strangely, under the mid-point of the tractor.

In short, user error. You decided it was all the way up when the mower stopped moving, not when the 3pt arms were all the way up. Easy mistake to make, and worth pointing out to others who may make the same mistake.

That was the problem...user error. I see to do that a lot, and not just with the tractor!
