  • / John Deere 140 Lawn Tractor Deck Height Adjustment lever won't stay in place
I'm a newb to John Deere Lawn Tractors but have pretty good mechanical ability. Before I start tearing parts off my mower, I wanted to pick ya'lls brains to see if this is a common problem, what the fix is, etc.

Basically I was in very tall grass and if I didn't keep a constant eye on the Height lever it would drop down to the lowest setting. I have a couple of really nice nearly scalped sections of my lawn now thanks to that.

How do I fix it?

Actually it's a 170, I mistyped.
