127 Lift Frame Assembly Question
Have scoured the net and searched numerous forums - but could not find an answer to my problem.
A few days ago I dropped the 42" mower deck on my new (to me) 127 to check/lube the spindles, check overall condition of the deck, and sharpen the blades. Tonight I'm putting the deck back on and am having a bit of a time lining everything up. I notice the two pivot links (front of item 7) on the Lift Frame Assembly, do not line up with the two support clevis (item 10) on the mower deck. I drop the Lift Frame Assembly, throw it on the bench, and notice that the two ends of the pivot links do not line up height wise. The one on the right side (as sitting in the seat) is about 1 1/4" higher than the one on the left - hence my problem lining up the pivot links and support clevises. This height difference does not seem correct to me, but... Is this (mis)alignment normal - are the ends of the pivot pins supposed to be equal height? Are the two pivot pins supposed to be in-line with the back (forked end) of the arm, so that when the assembly is lying on the bench, all three arms touch the bench at the same time? If so, then the forward pin on the left is in alignment with the rear of the arm on the right, and the forward end of the pin on the right is too high.. If the current alignment is incorrect - what is the best way to re-align the assembly? Does it really matter...and should I just man-up and muscle the deck back on? Thank you VERY MUCH for your help!

Brilliant! There are two flat portions on the connecting shaft. These flat portions are misaligned in the same direction as the arms. I did not notice that before. Now, to move things back into order. Thanks for the help! Heinz

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.
