This don't look right

Which part? The shiny piece that is at an angle is intended to let you lock up the arms when you aren't using the deck.
What happens if you lower the rear wheels to their lowest setting? It looks like your front corner wheels are on their lowest setting and with the back ones halfway up, they might be holding the back up.

Before you do that though, can you spin the blade on the discharge side to it is pointing straight forward/back and measure the distance from the concrete floor to the tips of the blade?

Here's how the hanger bracket should be installed. The first is in raised, the second is lowered. The backhoe subframe makes it hard to get better shots.

I took off the mower deck moved the rear wheel up a notch to match the front ones and measured the two rear links and they are the right length like the manual says. The deck is 2 inches off the ground all the way around. It lifts all the way to the stops underneath.

Of course i hooked up the front linkage and the front wheels are a few inches off the ground still, i put it back the wrong way and the wheels stay on the ground.

I'll be do my 50 hr service soon i was going to do it myself but now i'm thinking i will get the dealer to do it since i can't even get the deck right BUT they didn't to.

First attempt at adding a picture

You can see the bracket is bent. The previous owner also placed bolts on the deck mount. I'm not sure why. I still don't have the manuals he promised.

BTW i never did figure this out.

 

[Rob 80]

ok i finally got this thing to hook up like the manuel says, i took my time re-adjusted the deck and to my surprise it works. I did set the mmm wheels up a 1/2 inch.

Which adjustment was out that kept it from connecting properly?
