Lift problem on 1541
I have a problem with my deck lift. When I raise the deck it would come up and then slam back down to the ground. I removed the tunnel cover and I could see the hydraulic cylinder fully extending and retracting but the rockshaft slipping. It looks like it should have a roll pin connecting the lift bracket(#3) to the rockshaft(#2) so I drilled a 1/4" hole and put a bolt through it.
When I started the tractor the lift would raise nice and high and lower the way it should. Then I adjusted my Cam for the proper hight on my deck and retested. The bolt broke the first time I lowered it. The cylinder has down pressure causing this. When using the cam, do you have to stop when it hits the cam or should there be enough play in it so that it won't break?
Thanks.
