Troy Built Super Bronco deck problem

[TexasGopher]

I have a Troy Built Super Bronco XP with a 50-inch deck that is not self-leveling any more. The right side will tilt up and not level back unless I put my foot on it. It takes a bit of pressure to get it to level. It seems to be binding on something but I'm not seeing any wear marks on the control arms or frame. Deck height doesn't make any difference. What am I missing here?

If it moves but shouldn't, Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move but should, WD40.



Pull it apart, clean what you can, lube what you can, put it back together. See where you are.

Decks get exposed to all of the moisture, dust, debris and petty much everything else as well as all the loads and stresses of movement and use.

Something as simple as the front link adjustment came loose or maybe the front bracket or rear lift link got bent. If you remove the belt and unhook the front link, does the deck move freely then? Does the link line up with the hole , or do you need to slightly lift the front of the deck to line up the hole? Pretty much as Dig said, you will need to get into it. It could be good to post the actual model number from below the seat if you need further help.
