Last fall I posted about my deck not locking out at the “top” setting. I messed with it a bunch following what was recommended, but nothing worked. I’ve had a lot going on since then and was able to get by without it locking up so I haven’t messed with it again until now.
I got it to lock up by manually pushing the lifer arms up, then turning the dial. But it won’t do that with the deck in place.
so I finally got into it.
The issue I’m seeing is that there is still too much play in the adjustment. What I did, was pull the adjustment screw out, take off the jam nut and re-assemble. Now it seems to work ok. I’m assuming that means something is worn or damaged. But as of now, it seems to work with no jam but, and the adjustment screw all the way down. I’m sure I can find a longer screw. I’m just not sure that’s the answer here. Has anyone had a similar issue with this?
