G'day everyone,

Just wondering if there are any owners of an older Cox 09J6 compact tractor (11 HP), or anyone familiar with these models.

I've been working on mine and noticed that the steering tie rod is rubbing against the front-to-rear connecting linkage when the cutting deck is engaged and at its highest setting.

I suspect something in the steering linkage may be bent or sitting lower than it should, but I'm having trouble finding photos of how everything is supposed to sit.

Would anyone happen to have one of these mowers, or a similar 09F3, 09B6 or 09M7, who could share a few photos of the steering and front axle linkages?

I'd really appreciate any help.

Cheers!
