Smile 149 hydraulics ?.
When mowing, I noticed that the deck was inching down. So after mowing, cleaned it up and put in the shop with the deck up. Next morning the deck had leaked down and was sitting on the shop floor. Anyone have any ideas/suggestions on what maybe going on? If so, any ideas/suggestions how to cure this problem? Thank you for your time.

Actually I'm very curious what you get with this on here. My deck stays up fine mowing, but when its turned off it lowers down. I just pull it up when I start it up again, thought this was normal.

Finding the deck lowered the next morning is normal. The hydraulics will bleed off. To keep your deck at a constant mowing height set your deck height and use the cam to limit the rockshaft from moving and letting the deck move lower.

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.
