Is my mower deck set up wrong?

Gentlemen,

 

I’m having trouble with getting my deck to raise up and lock and I think it might have to do with the deck being incorrectly set up. 
 

Based on the picture, does my mower deck look incorrectly positioned? That is, should the pivoting support bar be positioned above or below the wheel support pin?

Your set up looks OK.     Is the deck lifting OK but just not locking in the up position?   May be squirt some oil in the top of the lift arm.IMG_7610.JPG.1bdc80720a5150f3caf71d954270d248.JPG

      Cracked 42 inch rear discharge
      By PAguy
      Hello gents! 
      I find myself with a question for the forum before I go down the path of ripping my deck apart in the middle of the season. 
       
      I have a 42 inch rear discharge 78350 that seems to have developed a crack at the center spindle (photo attached). At first I thought I had unbalanced blade issue bc the deck will vibrate something fearce. Long story short took it off got everything sharp and freshly greased. Started it up and it had the vibration again that reverberates through the deck. Now it's not as as bad as before but at the wrong angle or first starting it just vibrates loudly. So looked around and found the crack at the center spindle. 
       
      Debating if a simple weld would be sufficient for this crack or it would need more extensive repair? I don't weld myself but before I bothered the guy that farms the property thought I would ask here for thoughts if someone has had this issue since I was not seeing something in the forum. 
       
      Appreciate your guys help and thoughts.

      Deck drive spindle assembly: 36" RD, front center .
      By tpsnowbanks
      My double pulley deck drive spindle seized up and shredded the shaft. 
       
      Looking for a replacement assembly. 
      My rig is 310-8, 1986ish. 
       
      The deck is 36" rear discharge. Similar vintage but has no identifying tags. 
       
      The drive spindle on this one is front and center, not the older version with the tall spindle near the back.

      67 Lawn Ranger Mower Deck Blades
      By MSBiker
      Well it looks like I'm out of luck. I have been looking for blades for my Lawn Ranger and having zero luck. I have tried Wheel Horse part numbers 7908, 7909. Toro part numbers 8777, and 53322 and no one has anything like this. I was thinking about doing a cut down, but finding right hand and left hand blades seems to be the problem. 
      Anyone making blades, constructing blades, got a work around, etc? My blades are usable, but that is about it.

      1996 Wheel Horse 520H With 48 Inch Deck
      By lsc1257
      I have a 1996 520H Wheel Horse for sale.  The tractor has just over 800 hours on it.  It comes with a 48 inch deck.  The deck is a 1995 and has over 1,500 hours on it, as it came brand new with my 312-8 that I sold several years ago.  This 520-H has the swept front axle so it can handle a 60 inch deck.  I just replaced the battery and the deck belt this summer.  The engine is a 20HP Onan and it starts right up but requires the full choke.  The transmission is an Eaton 1100-062, hydrostatic.  The deck is in rough shape but the spindles appear to be in good working order.  The right rear tire has some cracking.  The original operator's manual for the 520H is included, as is the original operating and maintenance instructions for the deck, plus the installation instructions for the deck.  Also included is a new PTO belt and several miscellaneous deck wheels and rollers.  Additional pictures available upon request.  Asking $500.
