X 739 opinions

[Eric102]

Well i have 19 hours now on my X 739 i am impressed with its power and handling . The only complain is the back tires hitting the drive on deck brackets when the mower is all the way up and you turn hard. Thinking of cutting a bit off with my plasma and re painting the bracket. Looks like just the very corner should solve this problem. Air in the tires is correct so it seems weird that JD has not addressed this problem. I haven't had any seat switch sensitivity problem yet. The three bagger is built very well, solid as a rock and i fixed the minor problem with some stainless rivets.

On my 54" deck the dealer elongated the wing nut holes so the bracket slid forward just enough for tire clearance.

My tires don't hit, but they sure are close. I'd certainly fix it somehow before damaging a tire.

If its like my 2011 X748 you can lengthen your "U" nuts that are on your lift "P" bolts, then tighten the nuts on the front attachment "U shaped bar. This will move the entire unit a few clicks forward. You will then need to re level the whole thing, and note your cutting depth will be shorter. (If before you were cutting at a 3.5 now that 3.5 will be a closer shave). Worked for me and didn't have to adulterate the pieces on the drive on deck designed to give the tires traction when mounting and unmounting the deck.
