The tires were mounted to the narrow position. The head of the upper pin had made a small groove in it. It was not the 3pt arm as they had not been moved from the narrow position at the time.
I had replaced all of the cotter pins with the circle clips the last time the deck fell out. One of those clips has came out or the pin broke this time. Also on the deck quick pins is gone. It was the one with the spring and a U shaped pin.
I have the 200X loader. I was shown the larger loaders today, one version had 2" sq tube legs that were removeable, a larger tube was welded to the loader arms and the legs were pinned in. I think it would be very expensive to change everything over to the 200CX style. The new 3pt arm are over $300 each. If I get my tractor back I am going to try to make something up to support the arms. The pins on the rear support bracket will have to be addressed also.

Hey 47Chevy, Welcome to TBN!!! Sorry to here about your problems. I had the tire rub issue, found it after I got my tractor home and the quick hitch on, fixed it myself by swapping the tires. No big deal, but Deere should replace them with the new style arms, IMO. I dont have a belly mower, so cant help there, however it sounds like a set-up issue to me.
Very best of luck fixing these issues!!

47,
Check out my post on the 3pt arm replacement, it's got phone #'s, recall #'s and such.
Depending on the zone manager, there seems to be varying criteria for warranty claims. Since interference was noted by the dealer before I took delivery, my claim was fully documented as a product defect.
Gordnovo also added the #'s for the 62d deck hitting the tires, check that out, could be the answer to your issues.

Things look like thay are FINALLY coming together for you...
Based on the predelivery screwup...I think you should go back to the dealer and see if you can work out a BETTER deal on the 3pt arms...
I did get the new 3pt arms, the tractor was delivered about 1 hr ago. The lifting arm on the deck is still bent. It is on back order and it is hard to tell when it will be here. They installed new pins and keepers. Was told the lifting linkage was binding up and it did break the 3/8" pins. It has had all on the linkage realigned and when the new arm comes in they will come and pick it up and install it.
I pulled the pins on the loader and removed it. It is easy to do takes about 10 minutes. It is supported by the rear brackets and it is attached to the rafters in the garage. It makes a big difference on how it manuvers in the yard, lots better.
Time will tell if the deck will fall out again.

I really do not know why they returned it. I got a phone call saying it on its way and the truck with my tractor pulled up at the house as we spoke
.I have not had time to go to the dealer to get the full info. All I was told that the lifting arm was still bent and the replacement was on backorder.
Out of curiosity, does everyone take the deck lift arms off when they are using their 2520 for other tasks? Seems like enough of a pain to take off the 62d but the lift arms seem to drag on the ground when the 3pt hitch is down all the way, like with box blading. Any easy way to tie them to the underside of the tractor so they don't need to be removed? We only use ours for mowing about 25% of the time so we are always taking the deck on and off.
