[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 7064876, member: 4505"] As MH says, this is geometry. You have two problems, (a) the correct level along the line parallel to the tractor, i.e. front to rear of the mower, and (b) the correct level of the cutter bar at right angles to the tractor, i.e. tilt up or down of the mower at right angles to the tractor. (a) is controlled by the top link. Extend the top link and the rear of the mower will go down. Shorten the top link and it will tilt up. If neither of these adjustments achieves back to front levelling of the mower, you can (i) adjust the top link length with the screwed ends, and/or (ii) move the end attachments to a different hole on the tractor, or (iii) get a different sized top link. If adjusting the top link doesn't solve the problem, you probably need a new top link. (b) levelling of the cutter bar is achieved by adjusting the height of the link arm. These mowers are pretty simple bit I suspect this manual loses something in the translation from the Polish! Mine was on a MF 135 and the front wheels would lift off the ground if I hit a mole hill but was fine on level ground! Initially, it broke back at the slightest excuse. I discovered that the previous owner had replaced the break back spring with one that was too weak. Fixed that and it never put a foot wrong. [/QUOTE]
