Default Lift lever hole?
So I'm starting to put the OEM 3 point on my 108. The rock shaft has a hole for the lift pin, and parallel to it [crossways to the pivot shaft] a hole about 1/2" ID that intersects the pivot shaft bore, as if for a grease fitting...but I never seen a grease fitting with that big a thread, so what am I dealing with? Thanks, Lurch

What? LOL.

How about a pic. I have no idea what you are talking about. There is a hole in the lever, it's for a machine with hydraulic lift..... But it's on the arm, not the shaft.

See the extra hole? It's located perfectly for a zerk, but it's too big for anything less than 3/8 pipe thread...

I think you confused J-Mech by saying rock shaft. That is not the rock shaft. Just the top cast piece for the rear lift. The rock shaft is in the center of the tractor and controls the lift of the deck and the rear lift. As J-Mech said, there is a lever on the outside of the frame by the right foot rest that is on the end of the rock shaft. Anyway, check this out.

So it IS for a zerk? The install instructions for the OEM lift show nothing...but why that big of one, puzzles me slightly...a 1/4 pipe tap drops right in the hole, but I can get 3/8NPT 90 degree zerks from McMaster for about 4 bucks an each in packs of 3...personally I think a 1/4" machine thread zerk would be plenty...if it's not for a zerk I can't fathom what it would be fore, facing the backside like that...

Some PO drilled it. For what reason, I have no clue, but couldn't hurt to put a zerk right? Maybe he lost his 1/4 drill bit. I will say that I just took a rear lift off a tractor that had been sitting outside for a LONG time, and the rod came right out of the rear casting. Easily I might add. Might as well put a zerk there just to fill the hole.

Where did you find these instructions? I would like a set myself.

Edit you first post and change the title. I did this the other day because I misspelled something.

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.
