Default 125 Shifter won't move

Recently I went out and fired up the 125, when I shifted it in gear the shifter leaver wouldn't move. I finally was able to "force" it, and she pulled and drove fine. I just can't get it to shift easily as intended. The last time I used it it was business as usual. Any ideas? What the fix is, why it would just lock up like that?

could be the brake part that centers the hydro held it from moving

when was the last time it was used?

I bought a 123 that didn't want to move at first but it finally moved and it was the brake pedal that was kind of holding it

There is a nut in the dash that controls the tension on how much force is applied on the hydro lever. My initial thought is that some how it got seized up momentarily. I would try hitting it with PB blaster, as well as the linkage points to see if that helps.

I got a chance to check it out today I disengaged the shift rod from the trunion bracket. It moves freely and I cannot move the shift linkage...looks like I'm going to have to tear the tower down to clear up the issues in the the tower... I'm thinking there is quite a bit of rust hanging out in there...

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.
