I'm new here, but not new to IH stuff.
I've been messing with IH trucks, scouts, and travelalls for many years. I picked up a 64 Cub Cadet 100 with mowing deck. After I rebuilt the mechanical PTO I found that the deck either cuts too short or too long. My old RER Snapper seemed to be right in the middle. Is there a way to fine tune the deck height? All I see are the two adjusting points on the front left and right. The deck is level and the blades are sharp. any help appreciated, Randy |

I think there should be an adjustable piece of metal that is bolted to the top of the frame and allows adjustment for the lift arm to only go so far.

So, I can move that piece of metal, bolt it down, and I don't have to worry that I am not in a "toothed" section of the adjusting piece? |

One your deck lift lever, push the top plunge button down and secure with the wire bail. That keeps the deck in float mode so it can follow the lumps in your lawn.
Adjust the L-shape sliding bracket so that the lever can't go too far forward and thus the deck wont go too low. |

376314-R1 Is the part number for the float lock. It is NLA from CCC. You can check with the sponsors, or put an add in the "wanted" section. Make sure to read the policies first.

I agree about the float lock- get one or fabricate some sort of bail so you can mow under float with the stop in the correct place. Mowers should never be in locked mode when mowing IMO unless in the up-transport- mode.

You can make a wire bail very easily out of welding rod. Just knock the flux off and bend it up. I've done it many times. Works great!

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.
