I have an older Torro 8-32 rider with a problem with the mower deck.
When engaging the deck it requires a lot of force to move into
position. I can live with this condition, but now there is a new
issue. Now the deck will not fully disengage. The control moves as
it always has done, but the deck is not moving as it should. I
looked it over and I see nothing unusual

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Lubrication. Oil or grease everything related, unless you think it
shouldn't be. I don't know if that's it, but I can't see it from
here, and it's the most likely.

involved. or a cable, or what???
