My next door neighbor moved to a condo and gave me his Troy-Bilt 12AI869F011 Self-Propelled Walk-Behind Mower (2009).
It has a problem with the right front wheel. There seems to be a sort of suspension system that allows the front wheels to move up and down (I assume to help level out uneven lawns), but have never seen anything like it on a walk behind mower.
The problem is that whatever is supposed to hold the right front wheel in place appears to be missing, and when the right front wheel drops down, it stays down and doesn't "go back into place". I can't figure out what that part might be, even with the help of this diagram:

I can see a hole in the chassis (mower housing) near the right front wheel which looks like it might have at one time had some sort of bolt or other part.
Is anyone familiar enough with this type of mower to help me diagnose the problem and find the needed parts? Thanks.
