Default Problem with 50" deck hangers

1450 with 50 inch deck
The left arm that goes between the hanger assy and the deck keeps popping off the pin on the hanger. Mostly when I hit a depression in the yard or travel over the curb. Mowes great until the hanger comes off. Had no problems leveling the deck. I may have the wrong mule drive. Looks like the pulleys on the mule been bent several times according to my neighbor. Is this hanger comming off a common problem or do I have a serious problem?
Thanks

I have some suspicions, but I think we need pictures or a diagram of the troublesome arm.

I'll get some this evening if the rain stops. The drive belt is also rubbing the hanger frame.

The reason it's coming off is because you don't have any washers and hitch pins holding the lift links onto the rockshaft arms. With nothing holding those on...they aren't going to stay on all by themselves...

Thanks guys. I don't remember the arms having holes for pins, but I'll double check in the morning.
Another problem- Today was the 2nd time I've mowed with her. I leveled the deck before the 1st use. 1st mow she did a good job. This time my yard is scalped on the discharge side of the deck. I'll get some pics posted tomorrow after daylight. the gauge wheels are in the 3rd hole from the top, front roller is good.
I also noticed her ground speed is slowing down going uphill. She almost stops.

Check your hydro fluid. Your hydro may also be getting lazy requiring the trunnion fix.

Oh boy! What is the trunnion fix?
The hanger arms have been repaired. Some how the cotter pins were broken/cut by the PO, so the holes weren't readily visible. Drilled the old cotter pins out and installed washers and new pins.

I searched trunnion. I think I have a chore ahead of me. Thanks for the heads up.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
