I got the 501 sickle bar hooked and operating great. When I adjust the position control lever to the right spot, the 3pt drops to the bottom. I need to keep it @ 4-6" above the ground. It either drops at that point or jumps @ 12" if I try to raise it back up. What should I look at first? Cam follwer pin or ?. Thanks for all help. DON TX

Sounds to me like the lift needs to be gone into and properly adjusted.

See the link below for information on how to.

Don..... ...the cam follower pin affects position control innna 8N.

Depending upon your passion and needs for a siclebar mower, I'd probably opt for the cheap and eazy trick of "limiter chains" to limit how low the mower will drop. The chains will slack when you raise your mower. Lotta 2N brushog mower guys use the same limiter chain trick and they don't have "position control" like your 8N does.

And NO, you don't need an ORC with a siclebar mower, just the big brushog needs it..... ..Dell, the self-appointed ORC safety preacher

What you describe sounds like the way the system operates in draft control. Little lever under the seat on the right side behind the quadrant lever needs to be in the up position for position control.

Your mileage may vary

Ran out in the rain with a flashlight to confirm. (%^) Works fine to a point (the point I need) and drops like a rock. Move the lever slowly up @ 1 1/2" then up it (the lift) comes up quickly @ a foot. TIA
