914A deck leveling

[Jeffjones]

Have a TC29D with 914a belly mower and when I bring the deck all the way up left side is down right side is up. When I lower deck down both sides are even on the ground. Can lift left side up with ease but unsure how to adjust to make it stay up. I have no manuals and probably don't know correct terms for everything so please dumb suggestions down for me. Thanks!!

Are your 3 point arms level? Being that the mower lift comes off of the 3pt, the adjustment for leveling 3pt will affect the mower too. Also, the rods attaching the mower lift mechanism to the 3pt has the springs and adjustment nuts. Mine was double nutted. So, first, get your tire pressures accurate, then level your 3pt arms, then adjust the mower linkage. When the mower is at the full up position, your pins to stay the deck in the up position should slide right in.

Ruffdog thanks for the info. I'll take a look at everything that you mentioned. Might be a couple days since its my dad's tractor and at his place. I do believe the 3 PT arms are level and I do remember seeing the double nutted rods. The nuts were in the same position/spacing on both rods.

Just remember, the adjustable right hand 3pt lift arm will affect the mower level.

Ruffdog I was able to check out the tractor yesterday. The 3 PT arms are not quite level right side being a lil higher and tried to use crank to lower it but it is froze up. I doubt that it has ever been moved. Sprayed pb blaster on the double nutted rod on left side and I'll see if I can bust them loose tomorrow. I can put a 6x6 under mower deck on left side to make it level with right side. Left side lifts up easily just falls back down when you let it go. Guess we'll see if adjusting the spring helps. THANKS
