Is there an adjustment for the lift assst. Mine is so hard I have to nearly get off the tractor and use both hands to move the lever forward or back. I wouldn't think it should be this hard to operate.

Have you checked to see if the spring is intact?

Be careful with the spring.

This is not that good of a photo, but I think that is where you will see the spring.
You will need the deck off.

BBO thanks for the photo. I got side tracked and we're headed to the mountains tomorrow for 3-4 days so I'll check when we return and be sure to update my thread.
Thanks!!
