For some reason, the mow deck on my B1700 has decided to go all wonky on me. It stays level until about 1/2 way up, when the left side just stops and the right keeps moving... I can manually lift the deck to its proper position, so there is nothing mechanically preventing it from moving -- it has to be in the lifter somewhere. Nothing jumps out at me as visibly bent, but there are so many parts involved in the lifter I could be missing one...

Once I set a level, it does hold, so I don't think I've got hydraulic pressure issues. Both tines of the 3 point on the back stay even and at their proper level if that gives you and clues.

Any ideas?
