Mowing BX 2200 (2002 Model)

[tb4192]

I have a BX 2200 with a 54" MMM. The right rear link keeps coming out dropping the mower deck. Once the right comes out the left eventually does as well. Is there an adjustment that can be made or is it more likely something broke allowing this to happen. I cannot tell if any thing is missing as I honestly don't view this part of the tractor / MMM that often.

Thanks!

There is a spring on mine that looks like its design is to keep the pin from slipping out. Does yours have a spring? The spring is on the L shaped pin that you pull out to take the deck off the tractor and it connect the deck to the lift arm.

I described it incorrectly. The L shaped pin is what's slipping out of the deck. Not sure how because there is a spring that allows the L pin to be pulled back. When it comes out I lift the deck up and pull the pin back and guide it back into the hole on the deck.

Sounds like a worn out spring. Tension seems ok?

Could be. I will check tonight. Thanks!

Check for a broken bracket, try this earlier thread for similar issue. Third post has some good info.
