I have a 1968 JD 2510. When using my 6 foot rotary cutter, it seems to be constantly raising and lowering. I am constantly have to adjust the height. Any suggestions on what to do.

If your cutter is 3-point mounted, it may be that your Load/Depth setting is in the wrong position. On the right side of the casting in the center of the platform below the seat, there is a 3 position lever for the 3-point. It is marked L, L/D, and D; for Load, Load/Depth, and Depth, sensitivity on the 3-point. For your application, it should be in the D for Depth position. The other two setting are used for integrated equipment like a plow so that in very hard plowing , when the engine starts to pull down, the 3-point raises the plow a little to add traction and make it through a tough spot, then lowers it to the pre-set depth. With a Cutter, the 3-point may continually adjust the depth as the engine speed varies.

Sorry about the two posting, but I forgot the other posibilities while I wrote about the first one.

If your Cutter is wheel mounted and uses a remote cylinder to adjust the height; there is a "float" function on the controler lever. Under the "Saddle", where the cylinder controler attaches to the dash lever, there are two holes. The controler is normally in the lower hole, closest to the pivot point, giving the lever 3 positions: Raise, Nuetral, & Drop. In the upper hole has 4 positions: Raise, Nuetral, Drop, & Float. The "float" position, all the way back, is intended for uses with equipment like a wheel disk, allowing the cylinder "float" in and out so the disk follows the contour of the ground.

Of course, there is always the possibility that, since this is a "closed" system, there is air in the system or cylinder; or one of your many o-rings leaks.

No, the cutter is a standard one rear wheel style cutter.
