Default Downstop adjustment rod?

The downstop adjustment rod on this cyclops seems to have a nut on the end of it that keeps it from unscrewing all the way out of the clevis its in. It just turns, doesn't unscrew. Is it peened on there so it wont come off at all, or is it just stripped? I can't figure out how to get it off to remove the rod.

Foggy memory says it's left handed threads. Maybe not. Mind is getting forgetful.

I had the same issue, the threads were stripped. It IS left hand thread. I had to cut the rod to remove it. I had another rod off another Super.
I was going to reuse the old rod by welding it back together. Then cut the stripped nut off, cross drill where the nut was and put a cotter pin and washer on in place of the nut.

Seems like a good trade off. I can put five Cubs where one car sat and there are no titles or license to fool with!

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.
