Brand new 1025R owner here with my first problem 
54D autoconnect deck - the whole process makes sense but I can't turn the retainer latches--the ones shaped like a wine bottle. I've raised the gage wheels, dropped the deck, and when I go to turn the latches, they are seated too firmly against the round rod to turn. I've tried moving the tractor around a bit and inching it slightly forward and back, but no joy so far. Are there any other tricks to free things up that I haven't learned yet?
