Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): JD 322 brake issue, john deere 322, compression springs

Question
Hi, I have a John Deere 322 garden tractor and the brake pedal for the left side stays down when depressed. The brake pedal for the right side returns as proper. I can only see a spring in the linkage to return the right brake pedal. Do I need to try & disassemble the left brake system to find this issue or should there be a return spring somewhere on the left brake pedal linkage?

>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Engine and Mower at this Site Addy, http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Numbers and Click Find. Then Select your Model from the Search Results Area. Then Select the Sectional File. Then Select the Section of the Mower you Wish to View Online. *You can Drag the View Windows for Better Viewing.*
>>According to the Breakdown of this Assembly there is 2 Compression Springs and 2 Extension Springs (M84831 JD Part #)on Each Brake Rod.
>>It Sounds like the Spring  (M84831) on the Left Brake Rod has Broken and Fallen Off the Unit During Operation.
>>If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I Hope to be Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
