Need a measurement Please

[MPH 12]

If someone has a 42 inch deck on one of these RBTs handy I sure could use the length of the yoke from the center of the bolt holes where it mounts on the rear to the front of the pipe. Got my modified one hung last night and I'm sitting too high on the front of the deck by almost a 1/2 inch. I have just under an inch higher then the rear instead of the 1/2 inch it's suppose to be and I have the clevis screwed tight back to the flat iron brace across the clevis bolts. Have 1 inch to the bolt heads instead of the 1 1/2 my FDT book calls for.

Marty, The yoke on the 48" deck for my 3212V, a FDT, is 17" (maybe 17.25") from the center of the bolt holes to the front of the pipe. The yoke on the 42" deck for my 725, a FDT, is 15.5" same as you measured on yours. Cannot get a measurement for the 7013S and Sovereign decks since they do not have a yoke. They have a different arrangement with two separate links instead of a yoke. Hope this helps,
