bigcreek 205 #1 Posted October 8, 2018 Red Square Brain Trust, Good afternoon, after the 314 axle fix it is on to the next issue with the stable 314 H deck will not lift, when I move the lever up or down I hear the hydraulics make noise acknowledging the movement of the lever but deck does not rise at all? help?

Ed Kennell 35,146 #2 Posted October 8, 2018 Hey Scott, we need a little more info to resolve your problem. Can you check the linkage path from the hydraulic cylinder to the deck and tell us what is moving and what is not moving when you raise and lower the lift. The problem could be in the hydraulic system or in the mechanical linkage to the deck. We need to know what is moving. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigcreek 205 #4 Posted October 10, 2018 Thanks for the pdf of the mower deck, I have to admit I am learning these fine machines. To be honest that is why I come here, the vault of knowledge. I will check the decks on both of the mowers, I have a 417-8 with a 42 in SD on it and with the deck set to its highest cut hight I can still lift the deck hydraulically to the transport location. Now on my 314-H, which has a 42 in RD, that when in mowing in the highest selection, if I try to lift it up higher to transport it will not go higher? Again not sure if I have a problem, I did lower this deck to its lowest position and then the lift will raise the deck? thanks again Scott Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #5 Posted October 10, 2018 It sounds like the lift is working and you just need to shorten the threaded lift rod to get more lift 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
