I've done my search and have seen quite a bit of info regarding the 914A mmm not lifting level from side to side. My question is how to get it near level front to rear. I know it is supposed to tilt forward some, but mine is so much that the rear wheels won't touch the ground on a smooth cement floor.
I took delivery of my TC24D on Sat (I know, I know - pictures. They will be coming) and had to try removing and reinstalling the implements. The 914A rear wheels would not touch the ground when the settings were according to the chart, matched front and rear. Only the front wheels would touch, with the rear suspended off the ground about an inch or so. I didn't dare try to drive out the pins with that much weight on them. The mechanic came out today while I was at work and told the neighbor that the rears were not supposed to touch the ground and the mower was set up properly. But the manual says to lower the deck so all 4 wheels touch when adjusting the cushion lift system. The mechanic claims that you can adjust the rears out of sync with what the chart says to accomplish the deck removal, to provide support to release the mounting pins. Then once the deck is remounted, adjust the levels according to the chart. Is this right? I realize most of the weight of the deck is supported by the tractor through the cushion lift system, but is seems like it should sit on all 4 points with some weight to follow the ground contours.
Thanks for any advice for this newbie. Love the machine so far with all of my 4 hours on it! Been is some pretty good slop already. Also had no problems changing the other attachments, including the FEL.
