Default Locked in gear
I have just a cub cadet 124. Engine runs great, clutch works great, my problem is the transmission keeps getting stuck stuck in second gear. I can remove shift lever, break the gears loose, replace the lever and it works fine thru all gears, than will suddenly lock up again. Help

You will take out the 8 bolts that hold the shifter plate to the top of the transmission case. The shifter and plate will lift up and out as a unit. Looking down into the opening you will see the two rods (Number 17), and the two shifter forks (numbers 14 and 18).
The two shifter forks are held in place on the rods buy the bolts (numbered 12).
I would venture a guess that one or both of the number 12 bolts have become loose or fallen out, or your shifter fork may be broken or bent.

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.
