Craftsman T1100 Riding Lawn Mower with deck issues.

[djpritchard]

I’m trying to help my neighbor out who has a craftsman T 1100 riding lawnmower and he has issues with the deck. The first issue is the idler arm assembly has come disconnected as I found it just hanging underneath, and I can’t tell if it mounts to the deck or the frame underneath of the lawnmower.. The other issue is the linkage that I think is supposed to raise and lower the deck seems to have a broken bracket on it. I can’t determine where that bracket was attached to. I’ll attach a pic of both the idler assembly and the deck lifting linkage with the bracket that appears to be broken. I did find a parts diagram of the deck, and I do not see the bracket showing in the breakdown. Img0379 is deck is, I believe the bracket and linkage that is part of the deck level adjustment. I can see a rough edge and rust on the lower portion as it appears in pic. I assume it broke off wherever it was attached. IMG_0380 is pic of idler assembly.

Thank you in advance!

Should have included this in previous post. Model Number is 247.273270 and here is a link to the deck diagram; https://www.partstree.com/models/247-273270-131278xs099-craftsman-t1100-lawn-tractor-2018/deck-4/

There is another diagram and parts list for the deck lift portion.

Thanks again

Thank you ILENGINE - wish the pic was a little clear but it looks like 67 may bolt to deck with Item #11. Is that the case? Hard to see.
