mikeeyre74 289 #1 Posted October 6, 2017 This bar here appears to be bent, to me… Is it? Or is it supposed to be that way? It’s the one hooked to the trunnion at the bottom of the photo that adjusts the front to back tilt of the deck. I can’t find a good example of it online to compare it to another one… So either it’s bent, or it’s not, but I can’t figure out how are you would bend something like this that way? So it’s got me wondering… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Row Cropper 50 #2 Posted October 6, 2017 Oh yeh, it is bent. Should be straight. Just straighten it out and you will be good to go after you put that pulley back on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1995 520H+96+97 935 #3 Posted October 6, 2017 Yes it is bent. Most likely bent when someone pulled deck from under the tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 6,698 #4 Posted October 6, 2017 After you straighten it, flip the lift rod and trunnion in the opposite direction. Someone may have bent the leveler so they could install the parts the wrong way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn’t have thought of that... thanks guys! ”flip the lift rod”? When I get the thing unbent, it won’t line up anymore you mean... but should be visible by eye which lines up the best, right?

Tankman 3,514 #7 Posted October 6, 2017 Bent. Reverse the trunnion after straightening the flat bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
