The hydraulic lift works fine. To set how low the deck will lower, it has a large knob facing forward beneath the front of the seat. I managed to turn it all the way up (clockwise) but couldn't budge it counter-clockwise to lower. A friend of mine as strong as an ape manage to rotate the knob after 2-3 attempts. The best I can tell, the knob doesn't push / pull in order to rotate it. I assumed the knob was a simple one-handed operation. Can't find any literature on it other than the owner's manual which simple refers to rotating it. My FiL died yesterday so I went over there to make the yard nice for visitors. Heck of a lawn mower (his) aside from that one issue. Any ideas? Thanks.
I am sorry about your loss, it is never easy. Give your wife an extra hug. I had that problem with a BX2670, the shaft seized in the bushing. The only solution is remove the deck and spray a good lubricant at it while somebody works the knob.

Yep,
People set then forget the height so it corrodes in place
Also on most , you can only turn the height adjuster when the deck is in the locked up position & there is no load on the deck lift mechanism.

Yep, I had found the info on the decking needing to be in the up psn for adjustment prior to posting here. I really was expecting the knob to give way but it stayed together surprisingly. Thanks guys.
