Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and it looks like there is a lot of good information here.
I have a Kubota ZD18 with a 54" deck. I am having an issue with my deck not raising, it was working fine at the end of the last mowing season. I checked for anything that may be binding the mechanism and found everything in order. I change the transmission fluid and filter and check/cleaned the strainer with no luck with getting the deck to raise more than a quarter inch. Since the mower itself and the deck raise system share the same hydraulics , I tried to engage the mower and it does engage and the blades turn. I am stumped as to what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

Most likely air trapped in the lift ram.
Crack the return side tube and try lifting a a dozen or more times.
If you get a strong flow from the return line & the lift ram does nt want to play then it is most likely new seals time.
