This is a weird one; our x590 has never had a serious problem. But I had to take the mowing deck off tonight to reinstall the belt, which had come off one of the rollers. Something seemed strange, though; the deck wasn't going all the way down to the ground....wt...?. I did get the deck off with some extra effort, reinstalled the belt and all that. But long story short, the lift arms -- they are hydraulic -- seem stuck, and only go up and down a little bit. I can't get them to go all the way up or all the way down.

I decided to sleep on it and take a closer look tomorrow. Maybe something stuck somewhere and is impeding them? Has anyone run into this, and what did you do, or what would you suggest?

Maybe you’ve hit the height dial with your foot?
