Another issue...

[chaskimbrough]

I was mowing this evening (CK20 Gear, 60" RFM) and after about 2 hours of work I was crossing my driveway and needed to raise my deck. After crossing the drive, I went to lower the deck and it lowered part of the way, but not completely. After realizing this I raised the deck and it raised fully. However, it will not lower at all now. The deck is stuck in the raised position.

What do you guys think? Love this tractor, but am beginning to wonder about the small issues I've had lately.

Don't know if the CK20 has one, but if so, check to make sure your heel didn't move the knob by the floorboard under the seat. It controls the hydraulic flow rate (speed of decent) to the 3ph. When closed, it won't go down

Yep, the CK20 has one just next to your right heel and that would be my first suggestion too.

On the left side of your machine there is a handle that will lock the mower in the upright position..
If you look between the loader frame and the gray side panel for the engine compartment you will see the handle it should have a little orange ball on it.
Try that.

I think he said he has a rear finish mower RFM..... Like others have said check the knob below the seat, you will find thats your problem.. let us know.

Thanks, guys. I'll check it out when I get home as I know the knob is there, but didn't even think about in in the midst of my disgust...

I don't know if your machine has a draft control or not but if you pulled the draft control lever back by accident the mower won't lower.

So how's it going Charlie? Did ya check that valve?

 

[chaskimbrough]

Got it...I keep a chain on the floorboard and it had twisted the knob. So, I turned the knob and all is well. I completely forgot about the knob so I appreciate you guys' reminder.

I notice the 3PH lift speed knob on the CK20 I just bought tends to
be all on or all off. I played with it a bit cuz a hate to have a 3PH
that drops like a rock.
