i1046 right brake drags when deck lowered

[shu]

Noticed lately that when I lower the cutting deck on my i1046 the right wheel brake drags (usually just momentarily). The dedk is supported on the rear, at each side, by a pin which engages the drop-raise arms.

With the deck raised, grab-hook end of the pin is above a pull-rod to the right rear brake. With the deck lowered, the hook is below the brake rod.

When the deck is lowered, the rounded end of the hook brushes against the rod, dragging it down and momentarily engaging the right brake.

I don't think I got anything out of place when I removed and reinstalled the cutter deck.

Is this a common problem? Did I miss something?

That "j" looking pin will rotate different orientations. Try rotating it to a different spot where it doesn't grab the brake rod.
