they are not the adjustable links they are just the slotted links.

Randy, did this just happen or has it been this way since you've had it? It's a big heavy deck, they can get sprung, I bent a subframe going though a ditch once. Eyeball your subframe and see if it looks straight. Look at your blades and make sure the deck isn't bent. See if you can find what the problem is and go from there.
Heck, check the tires for pressure. that can make quite a difference.

Take'n the 129 back inside. The new toy works

even though I only had the boom extension thumb tight and it slid out almost to the end... crs ...

I backed it right in next to the boat. There went my walkway !!

thanks Dave, i just bought it this winter and when i put the deck on it this spring i noticed when you lift the deck up that is was about 2 inches different from side to side. by the sub frame are you talking about the mule drive? when the deck is on the ground it appears to be even. that is why i thought it must be those lifting links? thanks buddy

Sub Frame is what hangs the deck to the tractor - mule drive = what the pulleys under the front grille mount to

I had a ball here today. I was removing the chrusher dust for inside the shelter and loading it into the trailer and dumping it acrost the road. Next I`am hauling the timbers away. This will have to waite another day to be finished moving material and start building.

Loaders are cool to have and use

Randy the mule drive attaches to the tractor, the subframe attaches to that and the deck.
Kentucky. that is slick, how lights the front end get?

Dave - It wasn't noticeable even with the boom "extended" which wasn't my plan.
I was going to make a wrecker sling last night but then I remembered that I used all my MIG wire yesterday. That'll be my next 1882 accessory

Donald - You're MESSY !

Dave i just went out and go under this thing and everything looks to be right so then i pulled the lift links off to look at them and they are 2 different lengths? i only see one part number for them? but it makes sense why it would be lifting it crooked. is there a reason for this or did someone down the road just use the wrong part? thanks pal

 

[kweaver]

Randy - The hangers on my 1882 deck are worn bad and it hangs a couple inches crooked too when lifted but it cuts level since I let it all the way down.

Randy - My 50C has 2 different hangers, one adjustable the other is slotted. Both of mine show in the parts lookup.

 

[rcrim]

i do see in the parts book a slotted one on one side and a adjustable one on the other. mine has 2 slotted ones and one is about a inch longer. is there supposed to be a adjustable one on there?

 

[kweaver]

Should be this

 

[rcrim]

well i guess that solves this little deal. i need to put a adjustable lift link on this old girl and level out this deck. that is weird to have 2 different slotted links on there. but that is just the right difference on how much it lifts it wrong. you guys are the best. i love this forum.

Randy - I've got an ongoing shopping list to send to CC Specialties when I quit wasting my money on fishing !

EDIT: You can see the hangers in my bottom pic down the page.

 

[rcrim]

i am with ya one that one Ken. but hey fishing first right???? LOL!!! Thanks Dave

Kentucky, I got to replace the liner in my welder, it started kinking the wire at the drive.
Randy, sounds like you got it under control. Just remember when you get the link and go to level that deck the first thing to check is the tire pressures

 

[rcrim]

this is what was on there, dont know why or how but now i know why it is lifting like it is. thanks guys

 

[kweaver]

Randy - I know what the problem is with your deck.

Randy, My 126,which has been in the family since new, and has the original rear tires, does not set level unless the rt rear tire has 2# higher pressure than the lft rear tire. Verify that the tractor actually sets level before you do anything else.
