BX 24 - Lift Assembly Replacement

[jimkeffalas]

I have a BX 24 with an under belly mower. The mower deck quit lifting-I found the lift linkage was worn from metal to metal rubbing at the cam / stem assembly - both sides. I have new replacement parts and have started to remove the old parts but ran into a part "boss" that holds the linkage shaft in place. Question? How is the "boss" removed?

Jim,

have looked in the WSM?

you have 54 or 60 inch MMM?

It may have worn a lip or shoulder on the rod and will have to be lined up with the hole. I've had it happen to me. Hard to say without pictures or diagram. Hope this is of some help. joe

Mower Deck is 42 inch - I was able to get the bosses off with the removal of the rear linkage - however, now I cannot pull out the linkage shaft that travels through the frame - left to right. It seems inadequate space to remove and install the new part - rod hits the frame. Any ideas?

Yes, the lip that rides in the open slot is so worn that it will not stay in the slot - was replacing with new parts.
