I finally installed the float button on my 125 ....
 

and it's amazing how nice the float feature works on my 125 with the 42" cast iron end mower. :beerchug:

Back in '03 when I purchased the 125, the button for the lift handle was missing so I drilled and tapped a piece of 1/2" round bar. That worked for setting it in a notch but since it didn't have the correct cutout plus the push button on the handle itself was broken, no float.

I made the correct handle button ( thank to Lew for the original to copy ) and installed a factory float button in the handle.

The lawn looks even better now :biggrin2:

looks good as always Jeff, if i were in need of one what would it cost?

Probably around $18. The undercut for the push button latch is a real :censored: to cut.

Can you make the little lock button too? The 125 I gave my bro was missing the little button. Would be cool to get him one.....

Sheetmetal for the center section. But it is available from the dealer ( around $24 )

Cub Cadet IH-401449-R1

Lock Assy, Release Rod

I'll check again on that. I thought I had looked and it wasn't available. :bigthink: Maybe I just assumed. That was a while back.


Nice work as always! :beerchug:

Nice job Jeff! :beerchug:

I finally made a wire bail to lock float on my O earlier this summer. It's nice when the little jobs make a big difference!
