Hello, I am new owner of a Cub Cadet 1450 and will head over to the newbie page and introduce myself but wanted to throw out this questions first because I have been all over the inter webs trying to find an answer.
It appears that the hydraulic lift will not allow the mower deck to drop down low enough. It lifts fine and brings the bottom edge of the deck up about 4 inches but it barely drops down the deck, maybe 2 inches on the right side but about 1 inch on the left side. I have checked and I don't see anything hanging up. I have been reading the manual and it references a locking knob and cam stop and was curious if this what I need to be adjusting. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Forrest. |

If you're sitting on the tractor, the cam stop will be by your right foot. Can't miss it. It will be obvious if that is what it's hitting.

Yah, I saw it on the manual and haven't touched it yet but was wanting to know if that would be causing my deck not lower all the way.

yes. its entire purpose is to stop the deck from going down beyond the point its set at.

That lift stop doesn't have anything to do with the deck not dropping level. That's a different problem.

Bent lift arm or broken spirol pin in one of them.
Check to see if arms are in line with one another. Have fun getting the busted pin out and replaced if that is the problem. You will probably use every 4 letter word you ever heard before the fix in completed!! BTDT got the skinned knuckles also! |

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.
