I have New BX2680, When mowing the depth adjustment changes I guess when I hit a bump or the anti-scalping wheels come in contact with the ground. How to Tighten the adjustment linkage. Thanks…

I have the dial at 3 and on flat concrete I have the anti-scalp wheels up 1/4” to 1/2” off the ground as it says on the deck.Bowman,
welcome to the forum - lots of great folks here to answer all kinds of questions!
First question - WHAT height are you cutting at currently? There is a dial below your legs that is holding the MMM at a certain level "relative" to the ground - I say that, but that dial and real world measurements are not the same.
What you may need to do is adjust the scalping wheel accordingly - so IT will hold the depth you need.
The BX has a suspended deck, only the LX has a ground following deck where the wheels hold the height. As you say, the BX wheels are anti-scalping only.What you may need to do is adjust the scalping wheel accordingly - so IT will hold the depth you need.
Yeah this is Bowman, I traded in a BX 2380 and the deck height adjustment knob was always tuff to turn. My new BX 2680 is so easy compared to the BX2380. When the anti-scalp wheels touch when I hit a bump the setting changes. My question is there anyway I can tighten the adjustment hardwear ??? Thanks…There’s been quite a few examples here on OTT where the height adjustment has “spun down” on its own on BX tractors, and maybe some B/LX also.
Definitely more prevalent with the BX series as I recall.
The repair was pretty easy as I recall, but darned if I remember what it was.
If you use the Search function on OTT I’ll bet you can find it.
I’m struggling with what search terms to use offhand, but I know it’s been covered quite a few times over the years.
If the tractor is new and under warranty, another option is have the dealer deal with it, but transportation to/from is not part of the warranty.
