First off, in that picture I posted you can see that the deck on my hog is notched. That's OEM. Maybe these decks that are not notched cannot be set up so the drive shaft will not hit the deck, dunno.
Second, why do you lift the hog anyway? I lift my hog once in awhile I get hung-up but other wise I just pull it around. Works fine that way and with chains I can disconnect the PTO and road it with out the blade spinning. I like that. Anyway....
When that hog is set right the rear will be higher than the front. You do not want level or sloped back because the blade will be cutting grass in the front and again in the back and on the sides too. Takes a lot more hp than slopped to the front so the grass is cut once in the front and the blade is doing nothing swinging around the sides and back coming around for another lick.
So maybe you can drop that idler wheel a few inches and solve the problem with the drive shaft hitting the deck. That and a short top link and you might be OK. I have near 3" difference front-to-back level, the front is only one chain link, two at most, off the ground and I can mow down to 3" or so. Lower than the 3-1/2" summer set on my push mower.
Fact is, I finally took the top link rigging clear off my mower. Can't use a top link if I wanted to. Can't remember why I ever wanted to put the mower in transport position. I can lift it enough to mow high or clear a hang-up with only the lift arms. Easier to hook up the drive shaft without twisting around in front of the top link rigging anyway. That was so dang awkward and I really like it this way.
