Black hawk, control arms are hard to move. How can I loosen them up. If I take my hands off the mower just keeps on going.

Control arms are to tight.

Check the steering dampeners

It turned out that the pivot pin bushing was way too tight. Backed the nut off 1/2 to 3/4 turns and you can steer it with just a finger.
