Did a little hay last week ...

[foreman Etexas]

Thats a normal thing ... I think if I remember you need to take 4" off. With the cutter hooked up your probably about to the tractor side of the pto of the tractor.

If you have a chop saw ... push the little plastic tabs in on the guard so you can remove it from both ends ... then take 4" off each end and 4" off the plastic guard wit the chop saw... file off the burrs left from the saw and you can slide them back together.

NOW REMEMBER ... I think its 4" ... look close and determine if thats the right measurement...you can see about how much has to come off so the shaft can slide back enough to get it on the tractor pto.

Thanks,I will take off around 3 and try it. Now I have another issue the cutter will not fold all the way over its hitting another piece of the 3point,I am trying to get photos sent to wife so she can email them to my computer. Man I am glad I tried everything out before I really needed it. It something that should miss cause it hits and the cylinder will not go all the way in allowing the cutter to fold back more behind the tractor.

This is as far as the mower goes up before these two pieces hit and here is a close up on the two pieces:confused3:

Okay I'm not familiar with your cutter ... I'd say in the second picture the arm that has the hole slides onto the pin and a lynx pin goes in it for transport ... Is that a rope I see? Some mowers you have to pull the rope to to release the other locking mechanism.

I'll study them closer ... what was that cutter Mfg name?

Vicon CM2400. Yeah I pulled the rope,un-locking it making it able to come up,but its past that part and you are right about the part were the piece with the hole is suppost to slide in the other. The thing is if i go up anymore to get it closer the other part hits so I couldnt get it on anyways with it in the way. Thanks guys for the help,I have sent photos to my dealer but kevins been in meetings...

Alright Blueriver,the only thing I can come up with is maybe they installed it wrong and I should un-bolt it and roll it over to the other side.Also the black what look like lines are just bungie cords,they need to be run under not over the top or they are gonna get cut....

The red arrows are the bolts I could remove.
The black arrow showing were I would roll it over and it would be pointing towards tractor.


I know my coloring sucks:laughing:

I wish I was more help ... just not familiar with that cutter. Does the owners manual show anything?

FE, it's hard to tell from your pic's what the trouble is. My drum cutter is a bear to fold and unfold by myself but it swings straight back, not up. What HP tractor is that thing on??...... it looks a bit undersized for a 10'er.

Blue, we started laying down the hay day before yesterday in "field #6"...5ac.
