Default 1450 Lift Valve Handle Removal- Suggestions??
I'm removing a dual stick from a 1450 and so far it's been pretty straight forward, even if the tractor has to be practically completely disassembled. I'm down to the last piece. I'm not sure how to get the valve handle out of the dash tower. I've got the longer thinner handle removed but the second handle has me baffled. I've attached pics. If anyone knows the secret I'd love to know.

Is it possible that the handle unscrews allowing it to be released from the shaft?

On the one I had the handle unscrewed and then the base slid off, the handle acts as a set screw.

Thank you so much! I was afraid to try that without a second opinion. I didn't want to snap it off. That's for sure.

I might also add that the handle rod is a sleeve with a threaded rod inside of it. You may have to take the handle off (it's screwed/threaded on also), pull the sleeve then unscrew the rod.

You are exactly right. I removed the handle, the lock nut, and the tube. Then I was able to put a pair of vise grips on the the threaded rod to remove it. I used penetrating oil but should have waited and let it soak overnight. It snapped. Now I have to drill it out and repair the handle since it's made of unobtainium. I should have known better.

Ooooh. That sucks.

If you can't get it off, JeffinPa can make you a new one. I'll look around, I'm not so sure you can't buy that piece from somewhere else. It may not be chrome, but I thought I've seen them before....

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.
