edit subj Quit not Quite
Came up to WNY to do some work on Fathers 2N. Had something in the idle circuit and got that straightened out and she seems to be running well again. Was cutting some grass and the lift quit working completely. It went from working fine to not attempting to lift at all. It feels like the lift control is not engaging on anything. There is no resistance when moving the control arm from top to bottom.
I pulled out the 4 bolts that hold it in. The control rod that goes in side appears to be smooth and not excessively worn or anything. According to the diagram in the manual it looks like there is a positioning pin that goes through the case into the outer sleeve and that is sheared off almost flush with the inside of the case. I do not know if that was recent or not. The outer sleeve of the control rod does not rotate at all.
Looking for a direction to proceed.
