I have a fast hitch C21 sickle bar mower of which needs the cutter bar adjusted for proper lifting. When I lift the mower with my fast hitch, the bar does lift of the ground equal to mower lift, but just stays horizontial to the ground. I thought that the bar should automatically lift to about a 30 degree angle somewhere during the lift if properly adjusted, but not sure. My mower has one main lift spring and it has the one end mounted at the very top adjustment hole and I thought maybe it is adjusted a couple holes too high. Tightening the main spring does not help other than to cause the bar to float and stay of the ground too much. It seems that the small rotating lifting linkages down near the bar pivot point that should help rotate the bar up to a angle when lifting, will only work right if I lift the bar by hand, but still not hold the bar at an angle on its own. I currently have the small rotating lifting linkage pin set in the top smaller hole on that A shaped looking part. Also my cutter bar will hold its self at full vertical when lifted by hand and that part seems to work right. I was hoping that maybe someone out there might know if my mower is working right or not, or maybe might have a copy of setup instruction from a manual to solve my mowers lift problem.

Thanks, Ray in Pa.
