Any B3200 owners ?

[nc redneck]

I just picked up a 2013 B3200 with 72 inch mower and LA504 loader. I have been driving all day in rain sleet and snow so to tired to fight manual. I thought you guys may have quick answer. The belly mower does not seem to go very high in lift position ( less than my BX ) . On a quick look possibly a missing bracket or part on front of mower ( pictures shown ) Also do you guys drive over this deck to install and remove, quick look at manual seems to say yes.
Thanks

In your pictures I can see the brackets you're talking about. I don't have a mower deck for my tractor, but in looking at yours with the paint loss on the tractor side, I'd say those are supposed to be pinned to the deck. When you raise/lower the deck do the brackets move as well? If they go up/down I'd look at a parts diagram real quick and confirm, but my suspicion says you're missing a couple of pins.

I've been a member, read posts but now that I purchased a 3200 will post. The brackets are for transporting, meaning you can lock the deck in the up position while using a 3pt implement. I had to readjust the linkages under tractor. Don't believe the manual, the linkage adj lengths will be slightly different from left side to right side. Nothing was bent but I could not get one of the pins out so had to redo them along with front mount. Once I understood set up it took about 2 hrs, also measure each blade height to get even cut, side to side AND front to back.Just one of these things out of adjustment it will not mow well,,,, also deck was slightly tilted back and cut quality was poor.
