Unlocking 127 Transaxle
My worn-out 127 finally died. I could probably get it running with a carburetor rebuild and a new set of points and condensor (it's got a really weak spark but will barely sputter with starting fluid), but it's just worn out; time for the rebuild I've been planning. The problem is, though, it died at the far end of my yard, and I can't roll or tow it back to my shed. The tow lever to unlock the transaxle just freely swings back and forth. The manual shows that this lever is supposed to press down on one of the check valves; I'm guessing the part connected to the tow lever is no longer there. This check valve doesn't look easily accessible to manually depress it.
So, how can I roll this thing back to my shed? Thanks.

you could push a wedge between tunnel cover and something to push the release valves down from the back. Or trailer it.

You could always move the shed.
I find that eventually they roll very slowly .If you can get at it with a car or truck you could drag it back to the shed .Put a cut up piece of a plastic milk container under each rear wheel and it will slide on the grass.

Lift on one side while pushing. One wheel will turn backwards

All good suggestions.
Even moving the 9 x 11 shed (with a 4 x 11 porch); it might be lighter than the 127...
 I'm going to try the wedge trick first. If that doesn't work, I might try picking up the back end with a hand truck. I'll let you know how it goes.

Unlocking 127 Transaxle
Well, I got her running and back to the shed...
I knew the ignition was weak, and since I planned on upgrading to the Chevy-style points, I ordered the bracket and cover, and today bought a set of points. The points bracket and cover installation were not exactly simple; in fact, I removed them and will contact the vendor to resolve a few issues with them. I cleaned up the old points and reinstalled them. I also installed a new spark plug. While I was playing around, I did a quick clean-up of the Walbro carburetor, and since the carb was off, I adjusted the valves; both were a little tight. I put everything back together and... no spark. I checked the wiring (which will also require replacement), and 12.6 volts were getting to the coil. Just for yuks, I installed an old coil, condenser and spark plug wire from my '57 Chevy, and now there finally was a nice fat spark. When I tried to start her up, it was spitting back through the carb; re-setting the points cured that. She then started right up and ran more smoothly than ever. I have one or two more jobs I'll need the Cub for, but as soon as they're finished, I'm going to pull the engine and do a complete rebuild. The blowby is so bad, you get an oil shower when the dipstick is pulled out...

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.
