Advice needed
My 128 lift lever button rod is froze - any recommendations on how best to free it . -here is what I have done I have sprayed and sprayed with rust penetrant at the button with it draining down - drilled a 1/16 hole just above the casting to spray there and sprayed the bottom . I knocked out a roll pin trying to separate the lever but the lever is really seized in the casting It doesn't look like the whole casting would come off with the stepplate /fenders on tryed a mallet on the button and a muffler gun on the base I imagine it seizes at the casting I have a oxy/act torch and have heated the bottom there is a small side button on the lever it moves ok
Labor day I was able to beat down the button and move the lever will keep spraying & working it Thanks all ! 128

Yes it's soaking with blaster now and have tried 3-4 different penetrants - the only bushing area is at the pivot casting right? the lever itself is free. the lower pawl pin position tells me it is 1/2 down I drilled a 1/8 hole in the lever side above the casting and fill it with blaster I'll keep doing that for 3-4 days to see what happends

You could unscrew the button with a pair of vice grips and spray straight down in there.

There should be a hook on the bottom that adjust into the saw-tooth bracket down inside the frame that allows for ht. adjustment. Get a pair of vice grips on that, make sure it is down so it doesn't lock into position on the saw-tooth bracket and try to twist it to the front of the tractor and to the back of the tractor. This forward and backward rotation has helped me free up some of mine when they were locked.

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.
