I have a 2001 JD4100 and am having trouble keeping the tilt adjustment tight on the 3PH. It has the turnbuckle barrel and at the bottom there's nut with a piece of rod welded across one of the flats.
I adjust the tilt so the 413 cutter is level from side to side. then tighten the nut against the botton of the turnbuckle. I then rap the rod with a hammer to be sure the nut is tight.
After mowing for about 15 minutes, the turnbuckle backs off allowing the right side of the cutter to be lower than the left.
Any good ideas about keeping this adjustment tight?
