Mowing BX2200 deck not level when raised.

[upgw]

At 940 hours my 2001 barely lifts the left side at all...still mows fine and is level when it sets down on the cutting height adjustment...dealer said the lifting arm is "worn hard" but didn't replace it even though I requested the repair.....seems like it's not uncommon.....

To coin a phrase "Somethin ain't right." I own one and have gotten 2 others used for other folks. Never saw one you could not level. As noted in prior posts the BX2200 has separate adjustments left and right. I cannot picture how a lifting arm gets worn enough to do what you are describing. Clearly something is not right. Potentially one of the linkage parts got bent (??) Regardless of what it is there is definitely a way to get the left and right sides of the deck to lift equally. You should be able to look underneath while having a 2nd person raise and lower the deck and see what the culprit is. If that dealer is not cooperative (or competent) take it to a different dealer for diagnosis if you can't figure it out. Or for that matter any handy mechanic. This is definitely NOT rocket science.
