755 MMM do i have everything?

[v8only]

Hey all i found a 60" MMM for a 755. I am not exactly sure if the mower comes with everything i need or if my tractor has everything i need. I have attached the link so you can see if its all there and what do i need to ensure i have on my tractor to make this work? I think its all there but im not sure where the rear draft arms attach to, can i see 2 areas where they might attach but they are tucked up high so i cant see how the mower will lower and i sounds like i need a optional lift cylinder kit? what does this look like i know the previous owner had a mower deck attached but i have no idea if all the parts are still on the machine?

please help before i loose this sale. (im assuming its a good price?)

looks complete, I just sold my 755 so I know the gig. Check the drive shaft for play in it as well as the gear box end where it attaches, I had a tough time with mine I had to thread and drill to put extra set screws in it. My newer 955 72" deck has a split coupler that you can continully crank tighter and tighter. The 60" 755 deck I had just had a woodruff key style and spring pin. I added two set screws as well.

where were you adding the set screws?

where were you adding the set screws?

Yes, drilled collar, and ground a "flat" for the screw to rest in, you can't drill the hardened shaft. Only collar.

ok so is the only way to raise and lower the deck with the +/- screw on the deck? or is it hydraulic also?

 

[ironwood]

Both with the three point assist, then adjustable with +/- hicky on floor board and also the hangers at the rear of deck. Then adjust final height by adjustable wheels contacting ground.

The +/- hoo hicky on the floor board is only a stop to adjust mowing height. Do not try to raise or lower the deck with it. Raise the deck, adjust the stop, lower the deck. Repeat until you get the mowing height where you want it.

ok thanks.

I am still not understanding where i attach the 3 pt assist, is this operated via the rockshaft lever? So when i lower my rockshaft lever this also lower the mower deck? or do i need to adjust hydraulics? the operates manual is quite vague unfortunately.

Dude, just go get the deck if you need one. It will become plainly apparent when you install. There are hangers and some linkage under the unit to attach the back of the deck to, this connects to three point linkage. If you dont have this (likely you do), then at least you have hte deck and can make the misc. you need.

well i just dont want to spend $600.00 on a paper weight, i also like to know what i am buying and how it all works then bring it home and find out im missing linkages and find out the linkages are no longer made or my tractor needs additional hydraulic outputs for the optional lift cylinder kit that someone mentioned in a search i did.

If this is the case id rather buy a 3pth mower that is ready to go then have to purchase a mower deck then linkages then hydraulics etc.
