drop speed on 5103

[itsmegg]

I am trying to adjust the 3 PH drop speed on a 5103 and I cant find the adjustment for it. I have a 5103 with hydraulics. The drop speed adjustment (according to the manual) is supposedly on the back right side of the seat. But I cant find it there. Any one know where it is??? Pictures?

The reason I want to adjust it is it drops too fast with the clipper attached.

If you can't figure it out from the manual, it's time for a quick stop by the Dealer's.

Unfortunately, there's no online manual for this tractor...

Mine was hidden by a wiring harness that was tucked up under the seat bracket. Take a flash light and on the right side of the seat (from a seated position), look under the bottom of the seat near where all the valves for the rock shaft and draft control are located. If you follow the rock shaft/draft controls inboard toward the transmission housing, you'll find it. The control is a very small shaft with a pin through it. The pin is movable through the shaft where you can get a hold of it. It's not very big and my 5103 is too far from me right now to get you a picture.

It took me three trips to the farm with the manual to find it, now the bush hog floats down nice and smooth instead of falling like a rock!
