Default Manual transmission shifter dilemma - QL1000

Recently there was a 2 posts that my foggy mind put together that required me to pull the shifter off my QL1000 yesterday.

The first post was about rewelding the shift lever and how the weld shop did not get the lever aligned perfectly.

The second post was a question about how did the gear get broken in the transmission!

Although I had not had the shifter off the QL before, I figured the PO had welded the shifter, as everything else on the tractor from the wiring harness to the transmission mounting bolts had been "PO effected"!

Well, yesterday while operating my QL that was acquired in October, I noticed that the shift lever did not feel like it was going fully into first or third gear!!

Off come the fenders, again!!

After removing the shifter assembly from the top of the transmission, I did not remove the lower stamped shift pattern cup, and while moving the shifter through the different gears, I noticed the shifter would only partly enter the "gates" for first and third gear!!

The shift lever was hitting the upper cup, not allowing full engagement of the gears. The shift lever had been welded back in a misaligned position!!

This would cause all types of crazy stress on the gears!! Partial engagement would easily break gear teeth.

Long story, short, I simply ground two notches in the upper cup slightly where the shift lever was hitting, until the shift lever would fully enter the gates for first and third.

After reassembly, the transmission feels much better going fully into "gear".

Sorry, my hands were too greasy to pick up the camera.

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.
