B2650 60 inch MMM Help, Please!

Hello all, long time watcher first time poster. I took delivery of a B2650 a few weeks ago and unfortunate the 60 inch mid mount mower gave my dealer a fit. On delivery the tractor seemed fine, after trying to use it however I noticed the mower not lifting correctly. There were a few other problems (lose bolts mainly) with the build of the tractor I didn't notice on delivery but I was willing to overlook them until I found what they had done. Someone took a side grinder to the brake linkage and ground off part of it trying to get the mower deck to lift properly. Once I found this I called the dealer and let him know what I had found. The salesman came back and assured me they would fix it correctly this time and was very apologetic. They had the tractor for about a week and returned it to me and said they figured it all out. Well today I try to use it and boom...same issue as before. Hitting the brake linkage and mower deck won't lift back up. Could someone that has a B2650 with a mower that actually works post a pick corresponding to my attached picture so I can see your setup? I don't have any confidence in my dealer now unfortunately. Any one have any ideas? Thanks again. I hate that my first post on the forum is a "negative" one. Seems to be a lot of great folks on here and glad to be here with my own tractor now. On a side note I did a lot of research before buying this tractor and thought I had made a good choice going with kubota and the B2650, unfortunately at this point I feel my dealer has let me down. Thanks in advance.

The picture was taken lying under the tractor on the left side with the mower deck removed. I am probably using the wrong terminology, forgive me. The linkage that is being hit is the linkage going to the brake. The pin hitting it is from the lift arm that picks up the mower deck. Hope this makes sense. I can try to take more pictures tomorrow.

Side question sheepfarmer...but are those gsd's or Mal's in your team picture? (I'm on my phone and it is blurry)

Awesome, almost asked about tervs but most people around here have never heard of them. My parents bought me my first Belgian Malinois when I was a junior in highschool, I've been hooked ever since. Great breeds. Only have one currently (3 year old female) but she owns our hearts.

eipo & rkidd, thank you so much. Worked like a charm. After moving the linkage outside the tab I thought "now why didn't I think of that". Thanks again!
