Also final question for the evening. I know I have been bombarding with questions but I think this will get me to a good start. I certainly appreciate all the help fellas.
Is the implement handle spring loaded? I have looked at the schematics and didn't notice a spring but I did see a retention clip that my tractor is missing. So I haven't taken it all apart to see what all I might be missing besides the retention clip but the weight of the mower deck is keeping the deck locked at the desired position. See picture as follows.
