54C Stuck in Locked Postion on X585

JJE64 · Nov 10, 2005

After using my 3pt yesterday thedeck is now stuck in the locked postion on my X585. I cannot turn the knob at all. I have raised and lowered the 3pt in an attempt to free up the knob.

Any ideas? Has anyone else seen this? Is something bent or broken in the mechanism?

Thanks

jje64,

Try raising the 3PH control all the way up and then turning the control knob. I have had this issue on both my 425 and 2210 (when they were newer) and got it unstuck this way. There is, of course, the possibility of something being bent or out of adjustment, but I would try that first. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

The same thing happened on my 62c deck. All I did to free it was, pick the deck up and down a couple of times by hand on one side and it free it self. My knob wouldn't turn either so it the same problem that I had. Only happen once, it's not an on going problem.
