MMM wheel stuck

[Rob 80]

I got the nuts loose and turned them out some to make the link longer but now the front of the mower deck is off the ground and the hydraulics is all the way down so it's still not right and i can't turn the nuts any more to make the link any longer.

How level is the deck with it all the way down? It sounds like the back needs to be lowered down to match where the front is.

All wheels are on the ground with it all the way down....which is how i mow but after i attach the front link then the 3 wheels in the front are off the ground by a lot and the link can not be made any longer. The back wheels are still on the ground so would adjusting the two rear links make any difference?

It just baffles me why the dealer would have hooked it up wrong in the first place makes me wonder what else is wrong

Makes me wonder if they mixed up the front bracket with the one from a shorter wheelbase tractor (ie a BX).
What model is your deck (should be something like RC72-30B)?
Edit: Also, are there any part numbers on the brackets to compare them to what the parts diagram says?

Model of the deck is RCK60-30BA, i was looking for a part # on the link but don't see it stamped anywhere but kuboats part # is K5763-44610 they don't list the measurements for it.

Looks like 17 inches to me.




other link

It's not even 5 inches there's a picture on messicks website and it's almost 5 1/2

Thats odd, did that mower come default on your B2650, or was it something the dealer made work?
Looking on the parts list (Kubota Tractor Corporation - Parts List), it appears that mower came on the B2630, the B3000 and the B3030. Your B2650 only lists the RC72-30B.
RC72-30B:
Long link: 76553-44616
Clevis Link: 76539-44630

RCK60-30BA:
Long Link: K5763-44610
Clevis Link: K5763-44630

The "long link" on the 72" version is almost three pounds heavier, but its also a lot more money ($113 vs $43).

As I understand it, when you attach the front linkage with the deck lift all the way down, the back wheels stay on the ground and the front wheels lift up a few inches in the air?

Are there any other holes where the tractor side bracket (with the arm that you move to lock the linkage in place) goes where it might have been installed too far forward?

I'll bet that something wasn't assembled right at the selling dealer.

Yes the mower came with the B2650 all brand new i'm pretty sure it's the right mower deck for the B2650 if you go to Kubotas web site and configure a B2650 with 60" mower deck the price list shows the RCK60-30BA deck.

That's correct with the deck all the way down and once i connect the front link the front 3 wheels are a few inches off the ground and the rear wheels are still on the ground. I guess that is why the dealer installed the front link wrong. I wish a owner of the same setup would join in i know the B2650 is very popular.

adjusting the rear links will not help the front wheels will it? I'm at a loss.

Have you looked at your owners manual. Your owners manual will have the procedure for mounting and leveling
your mower deck.
