I have a 2320 HST Kabota tractor about 8 years old. The belly mower attachment would always lower with the PTO lever. Now it will not lower. I have been over the manual and the tractor and cannot figure out what is holding the
attachment from coming down so I can put the 60 inch mower deck on.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You don't lower the deck with the PTO lever, you lower it with the three point control.

Now is the three point arms lowering, but the deck is not?

Deck lock engaged?

Or is the three point not lowering also?

Three point lift lowering speed control closed (round knob under the seat front )?

I stated the problem wrong. The 3 point hitch in the rear is lowering but the under belly attachment is not lowering. The mower deck is not attached. The deck lock is off. Thank you for any help on this.

Mine sometimes sticks up when the deck isn't attached and needs a little encouragement. Without the weight of the deck, there isn't enough weight to overcome the little bit of friction in the mechanism.
