That Tells me that your leveling is correct, or at least even.
So how does it look as it is rising to fully up position?
That should be a clue as to lift arms being ok and not having a sheared pin.
I'm with the broken pin crowd.

I would say pins too but why does it only go crooked when being raised?
Something is making it level out when lowered. Are you sure nothing is holding up the low side allowing the high side to "catch up"?

Rechecked the spirol pins and confirmed they are both in good condition.

How about some pics then. Views from the low side when it is up and down focus in close so we can see the action of the lift arms and deck hanger.

Just wanted to update in case anyone else had this problem.

The spirol pins were all fine. It ended up being that the non-adjustable lift link was too long, and that even with with the adjustable lift link set at its "longest" position the deck was still being pulled predominantly by the adjustable lift link side thereby cause the deck to the tilt.

After some research I found out that there were various non-adjustable lift link lengths (I actually bought two sets and found out there are at least three different lengths.

Using one of the shorter non-adjustable lift links I was able to get the deck to raise and lower properly and have what seems to be the average clearance under my 44A deck when the deck is raised to maximum height.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
