BX 2200
I pulled my BX2200 with it's 60" MM on it into my level garage after cutting grass again and noticed that
when I lowered the unit completely down it now sits uneven i.e. the rollers used to all contact the floor
but now the left side does and the right side sits about an 1.5" higher above the floor. I do not recall doing
anything different when I mowed the yard and I have been mowing it every week since spring with all of the
rain that we have gotten so it has gotten alot of use. It is about 95 degrees here with 10000 percent
humidity so before I dig into it I have got a couple of questions. As i understand it the unit basically floats
but in a non-contact position I would think it should sit level? If I push down the side that is higher it then
levels out but then springs back up. I checked quickly the two springs that assist with the float and I'm not
sure what to look for but it did not pop a nut or anything. All the links seem to be attached correctly.
Is this something that happens after a lot of use and needs to be adjusted periodically?
Anyway, I'll be checking the manual but I wanted
to get opinions from the experts here. Thanks for the help - Hoss

Re: BX 2200 Mower Leveling, ANSWER FOUND!!!

Man, I had backed up the tractor into some heavy brush and my rear 3 point hitch had moved inward
therefore when I lowered the MM the 3 point hitch lowered and one of the arm links came to rest
on my hitch, thus the MM could not go down any further. I raised the 3 point hitch, spread out the
arms and problem solved! Whew that was an easy one, thanks - Hoss
