So I'm gradually getting this mower all sorted out. I need some expert help now because I'm getting into things I don't have experience with. Two things I noticed first time I used it. It wouldn't go into "transport mode" and it cut lower than it was set for. I measured yesterday and it was about an inch low. To keep it easy for me (and anybody who might need help in future and come across this post) to understand lets take these one at a time.
Transport mode is when the height adjust pedal is pushed all the way forward and the tip of a metal rod called the deck latch lever (A) slips down and holds what the manual calls a deck height adjust slide (B) in place, keeping the deck in it's highest position. In the pic below the pedal is pushed all the way forward and you can see how far the lever is from being able to slip down and hold the slide in place.
In this pic you can see the adjusting rod is at its limit and I can't get into transport mode or use the 5" cutting height.
I could live without transport mode and the 5" cutting height but I just like for things to be right.
If anybody can help me fix this I'd appreciate the help. Then I'll move on to cutting height adjustment.
