Default 124 jumping out of high range

I guess I'm PC challenged. I tried a search for this topic and got nothing.
Anyways I was wondering how much of a job is it to replace the gear(?) I'm Assuming that's what needs to be done to correct the problem. The past owner had a spring holding the lever forward but that's not working anymore. Thanks Fill

good news is that it most likely has nothing to do with the gears themselves. It could just be loose shift forks. They can be accessed and retightened to the shift shafts by removing the top cover of the trans. The entire shifter handle comes off with the plate. Bad news is that the forks could be badly worn, or the detent springs worn or broken. Then you are pulling trans, rear cover, diff carrier, and front reduction housing to get the shift rods out.

Just for clarification purposes, when you say 'high range' do you mean the creeper or 3rd gear?

Fill, are you talking about the HI/LOW range on the creeper gear? If you are it could be worn detent or the shifter forks inside of the creeper. Here is what mine looked like when I pulled it out to rebuild

Been haying the past few days and haven't checked in here, but thanks for the input. Given that it could be a simple adjustment I will open up the shifter and inspect the levers/indents for the hi/lo creeper gear. Thanks to Oak, Matt G. and william1041200 I appreciate the info. Fill

Since it's the creeper, it's probably wear in the shift fork, but also could be a broken roll pin in the shift lever, or bent detent lever or something like that. It'll probably be obvious if you take it off and inspect 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.
