I have an MI that I've had for years but never really used the rockshaft. I threw seals in the front pump years ago because it was pumping into the engine but really no other issues.
I finally got a snowblade for the tractor, that lifts off the rockshaft. When I raise it, it only raises a few inches, and the rockshaft travel doesn't seem very much, I believe it went further when I moved it by hand (engine off)
The control lever seems to do nothing for the first 1/2 to 2/3 of travel, then the rockshaft moves as I move the lever back, and then of course the lever is out of travel and the rockshaft stops
Rockshaft full down
Rockshaft full up
The lever at the top (on the right in the seat) at this position the rockshaft starts to raise, and full back is full up.
The blade does raise, just not a lot.
The oil is full, I will admit it wasn't at first, but I filled to the top (my level plug must be plugged) and cycled it a few times with no change. Any suggestions or tips would be suggested. I don't know if the lever or quadrant can be that far out of time to allow this or?.....
