[QUOTE="thesilentone, post: 7071313, member: 6194"] It's been great reading all these comments, but it also demonstrates how little we know about everyday machines we use. It's a two drum mower, basically never changed since the wizzler, other than 4 drums to 2. The problem was, the mower did not lift parallel to the ground, this is because it is a low tech, low cost two drum mower, no frills, just mows. To accommodate changes in ground contour, the flotation slot allows for ground that is falling away as well as raining inwards. Good benefit for undulating land. No amount of piddling around with the linkage can change that [U]once the mower is set correctly[/U]. However, if you want it to lift parallel to the ground, you can do two things. Screw up the r/h arm to it's highest position, and l/h arm to it's lowest, this should take out the movement in the flotation slot. OR block off the end of the flotation slot. Neither is satisfactory, the head-stock of the mower will look daft at an angle, and you will have no fall away flotation. Playing around with the angle of the top-link will alter the angle the mower raises and falls (arc), but will not change the fact it is not parallel to the ground. As it is, it's irrelevant as the mower has gone back. [/QUOTE]
