Hi all,
I have a 6 foot brush bull similar to the one in the picture.
While doing some repair work I find that the gearbox is leaning to one side. If you stand at the front or back you can see it leans a little, like the arrow in the picture.
I can see where the deck is lifted slightly on one side where the gearbox mounts.
What would be the best way to straighten this back up?
Pull the gearbox and hammer the one side of the deck back down?
Somehow get leverage on the gearbox and try to pull it back into place?
I don't know how it got bent since it was likely this way when I got it this past fall. It is in good condition but the stump jumper did have a dent in it so maybe something got jammed up underneath?
Anyway, wanted to get some opinions before diving into fixing it. Thanks!
