Zero turn fatality

Mine are also down almost all of the time. I replaced the OEM pins with quick release pins so that when I'm mowing on a slope it's more convenient to raise and pin the rops.
Do you have pictures of the quick release pins you speak of?
I have the tethered pins

I used a piece of garden hose as a spacer, but not really necessary.

One side of mine is really snug and I have to use a pin and a hammer to get it out. Otherside comes out nicely. They use hitch pins. Perhaps I should open up the one side very slightly with a drill. Still I like that quick release ....

Found "quick release ball lock pin". eBay example $50 for 3/4"x4".

those you don't push a button, just yank and the ball on a spring gets out of the way (much cheaper but not as secure)
