Mower deck on BX

[Alderman]

Height adjustment knob wouldn’t go to the top position. Adjusted the screw at the back of the tractor and it now turns easily into top position
When I use the lowering lever, the deck still lowers a couple of inches while in the top position.
Normal or not?

Not normal....
Check linkage and see if knob/shaft is holding in place

Not sure which screw you are referring to. On mine, the height adjustment can only be made when the mowing deck is all the way up. If it won't turn, it means it has settled a tiny bit and its not quite at the top. Just pulling the lever back to raise the deck will solve the issue.

And yes, it doesn't hold it tight in the upmost position. It can settle a little bit. I've never bothered to measure how much it settles but the eyeball test says its not very much.

Re-read the post -- it sounds like yours has more drop than I thought when I first read it. That part is not normal.
