Mowing How does your BX mower hang?

[Speedy7]

Well, since we're having an indian summer Halloween here in the North East, I decided to take a break and practice dismounting my mower for the first time.

Dismounting was easy and straightforward, but I had a little bit of trouble re-installing the lift links when I went to reinstall it. Guess practice will improve it, but for some reason I had a devil of a time lining up the pins into the flange. Other than that, the only other slightly ackward part was reseating the PTO coupling, since you have to get down and under to do it.

You can get dirty doing it compared to the FEL and BH, but still tool-less.

Concerning the MMM rattling when raised for transport, try turning the dial that adjusts the cut of the mower to the "TOP" position, and then lower the mower. The MMM rides securely there.

If you are not using the mower I find it is best to raise it all the way up, turn the height dial to "top" then lower it down to rest on the stops. This is what keeps the mower deck up when you are using the 3PH and keeps teh lift arms off teh ground when you have the deck off. This little bit of drop gets the deck down so the top of the deck doesn't bang against the upper limit stop on the tractor. SHould qiet things down some.

I had mine for about a year before I discovered the pins that will hold the latch pins open for ease of alignment.
