Mid-mount Mower pin up LX2610

[imnukensc]

Is there a video on installing and removing the deck?

Apparently I could use a tutorial.

Don't know if there is a video, but I bet the instructions are in the owner's manual.

Sometimes you can catch little things that others have learned, that are never going to be in the Manuel.

I don't last long on the ground. If I can cut 10 seconds, that just might be the difference between getting it done and taking a break

Here is the best that I could find.

Thank you.

I'll have to watch again after we get the machine back again after having the bracket that raises the deck replaced again

On my LX2610 they did not line up as delivered. Resetup the mower deck and adjusted as needed(way off). Also drilled out the brackets and mower mounts about 1/32 of an inch, and went with a slightly smaller clevis pin for easy installation/removal. HTH's

On related notes. I am having trouble understanding everything about using the loader with the deck on the LX2610 and mowing with the deck up.

What is the loader stop pin?

So far we have just been inserting 2 pins to hold the front of the deck up.

Is that all we have to.do to use the loader and 3 point?

On page 25 of the manual, it says
1. lift the deck to the fully raised position,

2. Remove the loader stopper. Pin. Insert the pins in the holes of the mower deck and loader stopper. Then attach the snap ring.
Remove the loader stopper pin from the stay and reinstall it in the holes of mower deck as shown.

Can the mower deck be used in the up position? Or anywhere in between?

We have some tall grass and would like to mow higher without resetting our deck.
On all the other midmounts I've had or used. You just raised the deck up to where you wanted and mowed.
The instructions seem to indicate that you have to reset the deck wheels to the height you want to run the deck every time.

Thanks

My 2019 BX2680 has a "TOP" position on the height adjustment knob which was working fine. All of a sudden "TOP" is locked out. The knob will rotate to the position before "TOP" and won't go any further. I remove the deck and the knob turns around without stopping both clockwise and counter clockwise. Reinstalling the lifting arms doesn't interrupt knob function but installing the front brackets does. I think I've knocked something out of adjustment but don't know what.
Has anybody run into this situation?

Sorry if I posted in the wrong section.

Mine started doing the same thing right before the lift rod broke. Check the rod is not broken. If not the bolt on the rear slot can be adjusted for full lift height to allow locking. Here is a quick video I made about replacing the rod.

I did hear a loud snap like something broke but couldn't find anything. I will check this out today! Thanks!

I was unable to make any headway at all today. The BX2680 has only one lift rod on the left side. It's a pretty heavy design and appeared to be fine. I tried making adjustment changes but they didn't seem to change a thing. Then put the floor jack under the rear lip of the MMM deck, jacked it up no more than 1/4" and the height adjustment knob started working fine....let the deck back down and the knob wouldn't go to "Top" again.
What if I tightened the brackets that hold the front up? Would pulling the front brackets forward essentially pick the rear of the deck up a bit?

The front bracket levels the deck. I would check the level per the deck manual specs and only adjust it if the level or tilt is off. The back assembly does the lifting on mine. Mine is a 2360 older machine, so not sure if anything has changed on the 2680 though.

I figured all the jacking around I've been doing has the deck all out of whack so a to-spec leveling is a good idea.

That snap I heard has me bothered. I had turned right to climb up a 6" - 8" berm...as the front wheel started climbing there was a loud snap (the other 3 wheels were on level ground). It sounded like something breaking, but everything seemed to be operating ok afterward. It was later that I noticed the height adjustment knob wasn't working right so I'm not certain that is connected to the snap sound,
but after a lifetime of operating machinery, heavy equip., motorcycles, etc. my instincts tell me it is related.

I have some heavy duty ratchet straps...can I strap the MMM up when I need the clearance?

Is there a way to Pin the mid mount mower up on the lx2610 so I can use the 3 point without dropping the mower? I know there is a bracket for the mid mount arms so they don't hang once the mower is off the tractor but I don't think they work while the mower is on.

What is everyone doing for this?

You should be able to "pin" the deck up using part #70
