Draft control on John Deere 2120

I have a John Deere 2120 with draft control. I am pulling a cultivator with draft control lever where it should not affect the depth (off position). When I hit a more solid spot in the ground it not only raises the cultivator it moves the depth control lever up as well so the cultivator does not go back down automatically (at first I thought my leg was just hitting the depth lever). By the time I get to the end of a row sometimes I am hardly in the ground if I don't keep adjusting the control lever back down. To test it I have also move draft control lever all the way the other way and this made it worse and tried the mid position as well with no luck. With this test I am certain I am in the "off position" for draft control but still having it interfere.
My question is should the depth lever move up (and stay up) when this happens or just the cultivator move up and then back down automatically? And of course, why cant I shut this feature off fully?

Thanks,
Dave
 
It does move fairly easily but I don't believe there is a friction disc. It is just a loose fitting pin that runs in a slot that holds the top of the lever. I was surprised that the draft control would be tied in any way to actually move the lever itself but it does as it does not move on it's own unless you hit a spot with heaver soil. Never have a problem with snow blower or broadcast spreader etc.
 

I agree with Vic JD 2120 came from factory with friction washers on 3 pt hitch control ever. Once you get tension on friction washers the control lever should remain where it's set. For operator to have 100% control of 3 pt L/D should be set at position "D". If that's not possible then L/D mechanism needs to be adjusted following all steps outlined in 2120 tech manual.
