I searched all the threads and still can't find a mention of my experience trying to level the deck, and the manual is confusing.
What I am experiencing is that when I lower the deck to my mowing height, it lowers, then the right side lowers more after the left reaches it's limit. Never noticed this before and I'm very **** so I would have noticed before.
Anyone know what I could have damaged under there to cause this? I do alot of work with the FEL and have gotten stuck a few times, and I have smacked a tree or two with the edge of the deck, but I would not think that it would be racked from that as heavy duty as the deck is built.
I have not (like an idiot) checked the level with it in the mowing position properly in that I was measuring the "lip" of the deck and not the actual blade height. And I would think if I bent a blade then it would vibrate like crazy.
I went through all the leveling adjustments at the lowering bar, to no avail albeit after being frustrated with the whole deal at that point.
After dorking around with it for awhile, I finally tightened up the spring on the low side until it would float correctly, but I know that this is not the proper solution as the spring is at it's limit for being tightened . I hate to have the dealer come out and tell me it's something stupid, but I may have to.
The three point lifters in the back are level and lower and lift together properly if that makes any difference.
It just bothers me that something has changed, not to mention that it scalps my lawn on some sloped parts that it didn't do before.
Any thoughts???
