So I am new to this Jacobson TurfCat T423D. I have had it over 3 years and had it serviced when I first got it.... But... My "Belly" was too big to fit behind the wheel... So 55 pounds later since March and a different seat I finally got it cutting.

Is there an option to swing the front deck higher to work on the blades? Without damaging the hoses...?

I have a deck jack but have not opened the box yet.

I have considered building a Gravel Ramp from 4 x 4's and gravel to winch it up the ramp to allow better access under the deck as it would be overhanging the ramp 4 feet off the ground. Winch not drive it up...

I posted in the parts area I am looking for a lost Spindle bottom center blade bolt 500895 Ref 21. It is out of stock.

Going to try a metal detector where I lost a blade cutting... rookie move... I had hit some gravel on the crown of a grass road and I am not sure if I sheared the shear pin and the center bolt spun out... Or I sheared the center bolt head off.... Need to look at the spindle...

Was looking for Spindle Bearings just to have them and found a part number 4121994 I believe but it did not cross to anything... Then the page went 404... Gone... In EZGO I found them as 350759 and in stock.

Is there a better forum to look for help on my TurfCat?

Still have more weight to loose... 195 more... Using the mower to cut walking paths. The light weight pipe is not a ROPS but was to help me get my Fat ***** out of the stock seat.... First time I sat in it I got stuck for 20 minutes.... Sad... I know... but making progress... TMI... Too Much Info.. for a 2nd post..

Lots of good info found in a search... I noticed the Throttle Creep too.... From full to 3/4.... Saw that posted too... Had to push it back to full about a hundred times in a 3 hour cut...

For now I had to bypass the Safety Circuit and wire a fused switch to K6 the Mower Relay. It has been intermittent... Seat and High Low also bypassed when I got it. Not sure if the Delay relay needs contacts cleaned.... Are the relays under the Steering wheel? Don't see them in the parts breakdown.
