3 pt. control drifts down

[Bill in the U.P.]

The lever that controls the back blade position recently started drifting down on its own. This is a 2005 L4630. Is there a fix for this?

Most have some form of compression spring to adjust tension on 'holding' the lever.
Have a look at an online parts page to see 'how-it's-made'..

Looks like the tensioning is provided by the feedback lever. Item 80 is the friction disk, items 110 look like bellville washers, and item 120 is the hex nut that holds everything together. Try tightening the nut a flat or two to see if that helps.
