Mowing rck60-29b deck shield

[taos]

I have a rck60 -29b deck and the shield on the deck can only be lifted 3 inches or 10 degrees or less is this normal ? my old rck54 the shield on my bx25 was capable of lifting over 90 degrees the rck60-29b decks shield hits a bolt on cutting deck and this bolt inteferes with the shield from lifting up .Do I have the wrong shield ?or do I have to cut the shield were the bolt contacts the shield.

Is the bolt holding something? If not holding something why not remove? Can the bolt be removed, turned over to improve clearance if holding something?

The bolt is holding a baffe in the front of the cutting deck ,and i don't know if it makes a difference. I do have the bagger on rear of 3point from kubota and i'm wondering if i have the baffe there because of bagger.
I' m going to take a picture and add this later

Here is pictures of my deck notice were the bolt is and is this a extra part (baffe) on cutting deck? I have a bagger I think this baffe is for bagger the bolt holds the baffe in place. do I just cut the chute deflector around bolt?seems kinda funny they would not modify the deflector for a bagger attachement at kubota
