Default QA-42A chute adjuster broken - have ?'s
So I was cleaning up the driveway the other day and my chute adjuster broke and i'm not quite sure how it is supposed to be. After looking at my part that broke and looking at pictures of others online, it appears that this piece has been repaired once before. I attached some pictures of my part. I also attached a picture that I found online which I assume is how the piece is supposed to be. It appears that mine previously broke and was repaired with a piece of tubing and pins. Looks like it broke where the pin goes to hold the spring. What I need to know is if the shaft is supposed to be one piece and if I can just weld it back together. Secondly, what is the purpose of the spring and do I need it? Thanks.

The shaft is one piece, and you need the spring to keep the chute from rotating by itself due to the tractor's vibration.

So I will be good if I weld it then re-drill a hole for the pin? Any idea where to get the spring?

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.
