I’ve got a weird issue going on with my d31-16. Haven’t owned machine maybe 7 months, sat for around 10 years before I got it. Engine was bad, rebuilt and reinstalled everything running great.
The issue at hand now is that the 6 way blade will tilt way to the left and barely past level to the right. What is odd is that it was doing it the opposite direction. All the way right and barely past level to the left. It changed when I was pushing a fence row and went through a low spot and had blade tilted following the terrain. The rod that connects the tilt cylinder to the blade was bent. I cut out that piece and replaced it with new material that was prior to this new issue. I did lengthen it some because it wouldn’t tilt level. Measured cylinder stroke and lengthen accordingly.
I’ve repacked tilt cylinder thinking it was bypassing inside. No difference. Not sure what else to do next.
Any info helps! Sorry for the long post!
