1026r mower question

[Mike04743]

When ask dealer about deck not auto connecting he said was paint and would once cut grass with. Should of told me you bought junk and don't work like video. The video are not showing all steps you need to take install deck. Could not try one with deck. I was looking for year for 1026 and dealer never had one with deck. I can see why know

Not sure if this will help but the 54d auto connect deck does not come std with autconnect drive line connection. You do have to get off of the tractor to engage d-line if the deck was not upgraded the rest of the way with the auto pto connection. Youre posts here on this thread (and the other one) are a tad confusing though but it seems to me this is what you are referring to is that the drive line will not auto connect, correct?? This would possibly explain the s/n request?

I have auto connect deck . When I drive over deck the drive shaft auto connect but mower dose not. You need to get off and fight on both side to get mower to lock in place

WOW !! Maybe, while your learning about the proper setup for your tractor and mower deck here at tractorbynet you could spend a little time learning how to type in more complete sentences so we can all understand your problem better.

Maybe John Deere should of build better tractor and would not be on here talking about it. By the way I know how tractor works . All am saying is mower should go on like is shown on John deere video.

Maybe, just maybe, its not the quality of the product, but the intelligence level of the operator.. ? Just saying.

Then dealer drop off tractor . The mower did not auto connect. Please do not reply if you do not own 1023 or 1026 . It's not set up or user. The face it . Over price junk

I think some of these replies have really "hit the nail on the head". Now when will we get some pics or better explanations as to the real problem so someone can chime in with a good fix.

Mike
sorry to hear of your problems.
one question i have, when you are trying to attach the mower deck,
are you doing it on the lawn, in a flat area, so the deck does not slide
forward so easy? more common with 54 than 60 as it is heavier.
if attempting on driveway, blacktop, concrete, you will have problems
with mower deck sliding and not fully connecting.
did the dealer provide you with all the manuals? if so, you may want
to be proactive and read thru the installation part of the manual and see
if you can understand the installations and double check the adjustments.
i know one trick was to make sure the front yoke assembly, when installed on
the tractor, should not be tight in the groove, maybe 1/4 inch of play there, i have
been told that helps the deck latch better.

i think you will find many owners of these tractors wouldn't call their equipment
junk, and if you truly believe that, maybe you should consider another option
or brand. one reply was trying to help you but you didn't seem to want to
cooperate, so if you want help, listen to the help being offered. if you just
want to complain, there are other forums that might be better suited for that.
