Default IH Cub 982 Repair help, please

I recently had my 982 up for sale here. I pulled the ad because I want it repaired before deciding whether or not to sell.I appreciate the interest expressed., and regret any inconvenience .
Now...to my question.
I lost lift last year after attaching and using the snowthrower..worked just fine with the blade..
I suspect I did not attach the thrower correctly and the sheer weight snapped a spirol pin in the rockshaft.
I cannot find any info on how to replace the assembly.This 982 is a fine ,hard working tractor..and it killed me to put her up for sale. I got discouraged because I have no instruction on how to fix her and it was a shame to leave her sitting in the pole bldg..useless thru the winter.
As you all know, we Cubby owners love our tractors.
I posted on another Cub site and got great info from the fine members there.,but no one seemed to have instruction manual on replacing this part.
I can add the link if it will help anyone help me out, also posted pics there.
Thanks..

If it did indeed sheer the pin..... all you do is drive the old out, and a new one in. What more info do you need? I'm not sure how to answer the question..... Can you be more specific? Do you need to know where the pin is located? Where to find parts? How to beat it out? I just don't know what to say that will help.

I guess first thing would be to make sure it did in fact sheer. Best way is to pull the tunnel cover and watch the lift mechanism work. See if everything is moving. Personally..... I think you should just go ahead and sell it if that's what your end goal is. It won't affect the value much, if any. You have a nice machine.

First off welcome to OCC. what modle thrower do you have? you have to take the tunnel cover off if look see if the every thing moving with thrower on so you have heavy weight. if it not a broke check make sure you have no leaks (hydraulic).

I have done all the testing ..made videos.I used a 3 # hammer and pin driver and could not budge that pin.It appears the problem is the inner shaft has spun .I can operate the lift and everything moves under no load, but there is a slipping in the lift arm.
I am super reluctant to part with my tractor.
I felt I should sell her to someone who could fix her and utilize her instead of her sitting idle.
I realized that I want to try and fix her , and Then see if I still want to sell.
I am prepared to buy what I need to make it so.I have been advised to replace the whole rockshaft assembly, but they didn't tell me How to do it.
Can you direct me to a service manual ?
Thanks...

Here is the link to the chassis service manual. I don't think it will be of much help though. It does not cover rockshaft removal or service. None of the CCC or IHCC manuals cover rockshaft removal.

You are going to have to get the two shafts aligned so you can beat the pins out. I understand that you have tried that.... but that's how you fix it. If you want to replace the rockshaft, that's fine too. (I doubt that is necessary though.) Cut the old one out. Either with a torch, or a sawzall. Perhaps there is a member on here in your area that could help you?

Its a Haban 451..I tested lift with 54" blade attached and with no load.
I got 6 " of lift after adjusting , but it drifted down to barely 1",and would not lift again. I changed Hydro Filter and fluid..had no leaks.The very heavy weight of the 451 thrower not attached correctly is when the problem started. I was going up a slight incline in very heavy wet snow, with the blade on..it lifted and lowered fine, then the combo of heavy deep wet icy snow made it imposdible to move, so I attached the thrower..threw snow like a demon for about 7 '..then no lift.none..zero nada..then.crap! Now what? I said to myself..self you are screwed I replied.

J-mech..thanks I have all of those manuals.
Wonder why none of them cover the rockshaft assy.? Kind of a P.I.T.A.
I am going to replace the fender assembly also.That looks pretty straightforward according to the parts illustration.
Perhaps I need to study the rockshaft assembly pics, also.
I have done ok so far (except for incorrect Snowthrower attachment) studying images.
The thrower has been modified somehow to fit this tractor, but no explanation from PO on that one.
I have wheel weights and chains on also.

Where are the video's you made? Can you link to them please? I'd like to watch them.

Most all manuals don't cover everything... Even in the tractor and auto world, sometimes you find something they just don't cover, or are very vague about.

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.
