Default Hydraulic lift control lever broke

My son has a 1650 with a possible broken control lever. Anyone on here ever change one that can give us some direction on replacing it? The manual as I recall does not have much info. Looking at the manual it appears removing the gas tank would be the first step. He is not a mechanic and lives 2hrs away and I cannot travel because of the virus and still recovering from hip surgery and a torn tendon. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. He said the lever had a lot of extra play before it stopped working. I am thinking the hole in the plate on the lever shaft had flats at one time and now they are gone?

There is a connecting chain link in there that connects the lever to the control valve that may have broken ? I don't recall any flats on anything though,getting the tank off will get you some room I think the link is like a rc 140 available at tractor supply for like 3 bucks or so ? if link works might get u a diagram !

There were 2 styles
One is a clamp affair that wraps around the shaft and held tight by a 5/16" bolt.
The other uses a tiny spirol pin to secure a flat to the shaft.
Removing the gas tank will reveal just what style you have.
The bolt may be loose as in the 1st scenario
Or
the pin may have broken in the 2nd

I've also seen the shaft break where the pin goes through.

Hopefully the clamp has not been welded, then it is a matter of a few cuts and bruises to remove it.
Just make sure you do not loose any parts.

I have seen them busted as well.
Problem is, the spool only moves a small distance in the valve body.
People get the wrong idea that it should move more because of the long operating lever. And because of that much leverage folks use way to much force on the lever and that is what causes the issues here.
From broken pins, lever arms and slipping clamps.

Does anyone have a diagram showing the pin style. My son needs all the assistance he can get. He is not too adventurous on mechanical things without a good bit of help and he is 2 hours away and I am in a stay at home area.

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.
