How can you use a three-point implement with a mid-mount mower on a B2601?

I want to use my three-point implements on my B2601 and leave my mid-mount mower attached. Is there some sort of kit that would lock the mower up so you could remove the mower lift linkage rod to allow the use of the three-point hitch?

See your mower’s operator’s manual

There is a way to do it by putting pins in or locking it in the highest position with the height adjustment knob

I am not sure on your model but on. b2650, there are metal arms that control the deck when raised and lower…there should either be pins in the frame (you should see where the holes align to the arms there as well)…or the pins could be in the box behind the seat. Either way it can be pinned in the up position. Pin on each side.

I just did this today while messing around with my new ballast box. I wanted the box to move and not the deck so i turned the cutting height control rod to the "TOP" position. That way I could control my 3 point without having to worry about my MMM moving around as well.

Thank you for the replies.
Boy I have egg on my face, the information is in the mower manual. But the pins that are to be stored in the height stop brackets on the deck are nowhere to be found.
Not a big deal...

Dealer may have them in stock or a hardware store may have a pin that would work out well.
