   / BX 2360 60" deck adjustment question #31  
ok thanks! yes, i'm used to working on my old 1970s gravelys, but not on the Kubota. this is the first repair and i have about 1800 hours on it. but i use this thing where i should really have a bush hog a lot of times so thats what i get.

Just keep us posted on your progress, crisco. I hope find it easier to fix than I did. Not hard, but just a pain to get at it.

i took off the mower deck and the plate is actually hitting the HST fan sometimes (since it is loose, it moves around and hits the fan sometimes and not other times.

but yeah i can see that the plate that the height adjuster knob bolt to is disconnected from the frame.

havent started taking anything else apart yet. im moving in a month so this repair might have to wait 2 years until i get back from Calif.

Wow, 2 years? You might wanna bungee that knob over to the side so that it doesn't take the fan out completely (in the event somebody drives it for some reason).

If you need to mow with it, either it rides on the wheels or when you lower it down, you'll have to monitor the height and adjust it on the hydraulics.

Good luck!

yeah good call on the bungee cord. i will definitely do that.

i was considering leaving the mower deck off and just using it for the FEL and pulling my DR power grader, which is used almost as much as the mower on this tractor.

i have 2 other rider mowers (gravelys) that are in running condition so its not the end of the world if i leave the mower deck off the Kubota for a while.

i might still try to get it fixed properly before i leave but it's not the highest priority... either way i will update you guys when i get to the next steps.

Ok..so i have the wheels raised up so they don't touch when I put the deck setting on 4. I then let the deck down till it stops. I measure from ground to the blade at the discharge and the blade is at the inches. I have the leveling bolts adjusting all the way down and it's still at 3 inches. How do I get the blades to 4"? Do I adjust the back bolts that have the springs on them?

Dont touch the spring bolts.

Your doing something wrong or something isnt right I think. You should have lots of adjustment on the bolts to fine tune.

How are you measuring? Are you using the deere gauge? are you on firm LEVEL surface, like concrete?

I dont have a deer gauge. All I did was raise the shroud and took a tape measure and measured from the concrete floor to the cutting edge of the blade. This was just a quick measurement to see if screwing down those 2 bolts did anything about adjusting the height.

My advice is get the deere gauge or build a block gauge.

Tape measures dont work as I found out when I set mine. The deere gauge is the best $8.00 you'll ever spend.

The adjustment on the rear bolts, with the locknuts, should provide all the adjustment to get the deck level you need. The lift pins are inside the oval holes under the adjustment bolts correct? 3pt flow control opened all the way up? 3pt lift arms moving for their full stroke?

Try measuring blade height with the deck height knob on 3"
