Hoping someone out there can lend a hand or some advice. I'm having a real headache with my scag Turf Tiger II 61", and specifically, the mower deck.

It's completely stuck in the high transport mode and I just can't get it to budge or disengage.

I've tried everything I can think of, like the foot pedal is just solidly locked in place, and the handle that's supposed to disengage it just flips uselessly without actually doing anything. It's like it's jammed solid.

Has anyone run into this problem before with a Turf Tiger II, or any SCAG for that matter? I'm completely stumped on what's going on.
Any suggestions on what to check, common failure points, or how to get this deck to finally drop would be a massive help. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Try checking if the deck lift linkage is seized or if the transport lock pin is stuck. sometimes a bit of penetrating oil and gentle persuasion does the trick
