Re: helped with a bush hog problem I didn\'t know I had
Cool drawing, but I think i have it all figured out now. Keep in mine some of this may have been mentioned but I'm going to spell it out anyway.
I downloaded and reviewed both the KK and Bushhog users manual and parts diagrams...it of course I read them correctly. The bush hog flex link goes under the Y. They mention only using a top link pin that will allow for this movement. The KK style (like mine) has a key welded on it (mine must be different or is missing) to prevent the U bracket from going forward. Looking at my KK picture link I think I can see it on the front, near the bottom of where the U bracket would be(this was mentioned by someone else). This would also be why the link in the picture is standing straight up. So on the KK, this would meanit would only allow the RC to go up in the back, and not down. In other words if you are going through a ditch, the cutter deck would be allow to go up to keep the tractors rear wheels on the ground, but when climbing out of the ditch, the cutter would hit the stop and never go below parrellel to the ground. The BH works about the same but the top link is pulling the U bracket toward the top link so the cutter deck could never go below parrellel, but would allow the cutter deck to go up.. Make sense? I guess to ways to do the same thing. My guess is both keep the cutter deck from going below parrellel because when climping out of a ditch the cutter would want to ride on the ground.
to bad I don't have a TSC close by to have a look.
