106 Deck Doesn't Lift Very Much
I am enjoying using and tinkering with my new 106 and gradually fixing it up.
The deck can't be raised up very much. In the highest position it's just about right for mowing; the next notch down is way too low. The notches below that are unusable. I have poked around the deck linkages and at first glance everything looks OK, but obviously something is wrong. Any pointers on where to start or what to look for? Thanks, David

I don't think it's hitting the brake lever. That may be an optical illusion of the picture. I'll have to look at it again tomorrow.
It's a pain even to back it out of the shed to look at now because the deck is so low-slung it hangs up on the doorway threshold. IIRC the raising lever is what seems to be bottoming out too soon on the frame. As though the shaft on it should have been welded on rotated about 20 degrees back from where it is. I'm still trying to get my head around how all the linkages work together. David

on a side note i see in one of your pics that the rod running from the steering column up to the spindle is on the wrong side of the spindle, it should be on the bottom and not the top and every tractor ive ever saw like that has had less steering to the left than it did to the right.

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.
