2025R MMM height issue

[Hambone]

Howdy,
Nope, I sure didnt know that. I had a 2210 for 15 years and went to the 2025 about a year and half ago.
Really like this thing, but I sure don't like issues. This is the first hiccup.
See attached.
Any idea why this happened??

If I’m looking at it right it looks like the teeth are worn off, probably where you want it set at. Why? Beats me but the made in China doesn’t boost my confidence. I wonder if it wasn’t quite engaging correctly and kept giggling back and forth and caused premature wear. How many hours on your tractor?

Obvious that it is the problem, and needs to be replaced.

Good pics..

What is your plan for the fix?

My guess is someone tried to raise the deck by turning the knob for height setting.

Right at 100 hours, not very long.
Yes, going to order new China part, get it installed. Doesn't look too bad after you remove LR tire.
Have to make sure everything is lining up correctly. Maybe the arm that rest on that part is not fully where it needs to be?
Won't be able to tell until part arrives
