Rear roller collapses?

Mountfield 16" Empress height adjuster cannot raise the height - when the the weight of the machine rests on the adjusted height it collapses to ground level. Is the spindle that the handwheel turns the fault? Any suggestions welcome

Obtain part number MX1028 fro your mountfield dealer. This is a repair kit for the height of cut. Common fault on plastic bodied empresses.
