Default 107 hydro drive lever adjustment

My drive lever doesn't stay in position during operation. I'm tired of having to hold it while mowing! Is there an adjustment to solve my problem? Thanks.

Yes there is. Look at the diagram below for your 107. Parts #22 are friction disks that hold the lever steady when properly tightened. Obviously, over tightening won't work either. Just above the two Belleville washers (part #21) is where the main nylock nut goes. I don't know why it's not drawn on this diagram, but once you find this assembly you cannot miss it. It's challenging to get wrenches down inside this area on a fully assembled tractor, so some folks have come up with a simple jig to stuff down in and wedge the nut so the drive lever can be pushed/pulled to achieve the best friction. HTH.

Just move your lever all the way to the forward position, grab it with a small vise grips and move your lever down. Works great. I had to do it about two times and now it stays in position real well.

Yes 100 points to the vise grips. I know this is an old post but I just barely did this to my 147, thank you very much I don't think there could be an easier way.

That's how the manual says to do it.

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.
