Default 1864 rockshaft removal
Trying to pull the rockshaft from my parts 1864 and am stuck at the last step of removing it. I removed both the end bushing things but the rockshaft doesn't seem to have enough clearance to come out of the frame... how exactly is it supposed to come out?

It has been a while, but I think you push part #1 as far to the left as possible and then remove #8.

That's what I thought, but #1 doesn't quite move far enough left to let #8 clear the frame. It's just a hair off but no matter how I rotate it, it hits the frame before moving far enough.

Yeah, I did. I've got everything out of the rockshaft area except the rockshaft itself.

That doesn't include the 1864, which has a different rockshaft. Im just going to use a bottle jack to shove the frame rails apart and do the same on my 782D when I go to put the rockshaft in it.
The 782D rockshaft is extremely worn out and barely gets attachments off the ground because the lift arm has a deep groove worn in it.

I asked a family friend who worked for cub cadet in the 90s when the 1864 came out, and he said that they called cub cadet for workshop manuals and cub cadet just sent them the Command service manual and said that there's no service manual for the 1864 because they were similar enough that it didn't matter.
I suppose that there is no written procedure for removing the rockshaft so I'm gonna have to wing it.

if it doesn't fit, force it, if it breaks it probably needed replacing anyway.

Did you remove parts 9 and 10 from 8? That could buy you another eighth of an inch.
I know it can be done, because I installed one on them 1541 when I converted it to an 1864. The trouble is a did this 15 years ago, so I don't remember how I did it. You may have to remove the drive shaft.
Spreading the frame rails is a bad idea in my mind, unless you only need a small amount of room to do the job.

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.
