Blade On The 782
 

Jenn and I got the blade on the 782. We might get some snow this week. I noticed, that the blade isn't touching the ground in the down position. It sits an inch higher. Last time the blade was on, it touched the ground. The only things that changed, since the blade was on the last time, is the new front tires and rear lift was added. I also noticed, that the Brinly adapter also isn't going all the way down. Wonder what it could be? Thanks guys!

AC check the height setting knob on the right side of the frame as you are sitting on the tractor.

It looks good. That being said, now that you put the blade on, it's not going to snow, just how it works. :biggrin2:

Are the new tires taller than the old ones? Check the height adjustment as Sam Mac suggested too.

hi i found out that the lift rod will bend so i take my spade put it under lift rod shovel on top of front tire push down

This is the first thing I'd check. Otherwise, are your front tires any taller? I wouldn't think that'd make that big of a difference but who knows.

Let the air out of the front tires and it'll be on the ground no problem.

Allen,

Here are some things to check:
1. The cam on the frame that was already mentioned.
2. The lift bar to see if it is bent or catching somehow on one of it's pins.
3. Pull the tunnel cover off and check to make sure that the lift cylinder is actuating all the way or if something is obstructing it's extension.

If all else fails, and you want it to drop (but float) you could use a steel cable or chain in place of your lift rod or go with an adjustable lift rod.
