129 Deck Height lever goes rogue
Hello Gang,
I am always grateful for your wisdom. If my question is no good without very specific photo, I will try to add one. But I think I can explain: I use a 44a deck. My height lever travels very freely and is greased and all that. Th spring within the tube feels strong, although I have never seen it. I must cut our grass at the highest "notch" due to rocks and stuff. I think there are about five height notches to choose from. Sometimes I get really wild and change the height a little: I press down on the button, and gently lower the lever forward to the next notch. But as you may know, there is an 'L' shaped hook at the lower tip of the lever. This 'L' must find a notch location, or the whole things sorta falls. So often my 'L' hook spins a little within its long tubular shaft, and then it will not find any notch at all. The handle and deck fall to their lowest setting. So if I'm doing all this on the fly, things get a little crazy. I have to stop everything and try to wiggle things back into place. Is my notch release button decending too far and can I change that? Or is my thumb rotating that shaft when it should never rotate? I don't see any damage or significant wear at the engagement area. And if you suggest that I VERY GENTLY push the thumb button- I cant do that. When you're shaking around, trying to get work done, there is no time for that kind of attention. Thanks for reading all this! Has anyone else experienced this, and did you find a solution? -Christopher

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.
