Mowing RCK60-24B deck install

[SwampCat]

Well finally got it out on its maiden voyage ( for me ) mows great. Just a couple of things to check. The pulley the belt rides on seemed to get really WARM in a short amount of time, like 10 min. is this normal ? I just greased it , so I know its not dry, it does not howl or grind, like bad bearings. Not knowing what NORMAL sounds like yet... And the deck does not lift up all the way. everything was set to spec per Kubota manual. So I dont know if I should adjust the rear connecting rod SHORTER or check if my 3-point is not raising to its full extent. Still learning.

My deck does not go up all the way . There should be some pins to pin it up all the way if you need to . They are located near the front of the tractor .

Not sure about the warm pulley I never checked mine . I would check for you but I just took the deck off to put my tiller on .

Right or wrong, the connecting rods got cranked about 3/8 of an inch shorter, and that did the trick. She sucks up tight now. Time will tell if all is well. Stay tuned on the pulley temps. Thanks.
