My F504D has two pins on the lift arms (both of mine have leveling cranks) between the rockshaft and lower links. One position is "rigid" and one "free to float". I found this info in my owners/operators manual yesterday. The reason I was looking was my 88" flail mower was not trailing correctly. The Alamo (flail) manual said to place arms in "float" and I was, Huh? I have been around this tractor for almost 30 years and did not know of such. About 2 months ago I bought an operators manual and have learned more from it than the years of using it, I felt kinda dumb. So, I have since looked at other tractors and they have a "float" mode of one kind or another, if only on one side.
If this doesn't work, remove the rockshaft-to-lower links and use 3/8" chain and clevis for mower work. The mower should have guide wheels and the chains will allow you to lift when needed and float while down. I saw this also in the Alamo flail manual for tractors w/o "free to float" provisions.
Sorry for the long post, I sometimes get carried away.

How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
