I Pulled the other pin in the lift lever shaft. It appears to be a #1 taper pin which I am trying to source locally. The most likely place to have it is closed til Monday.

Stuck the extra pin in and everything works good. Just need to button it up and hope for some snow to try it out.

Default Plow Lift Lever - shaft broke on mine tonight.

Just as I finished plowing our 125-yard lane, my plow lift lever stopped working and flopped down.

I used CJet's photos to figure out how to get to it (eternal thanks for the great photos), but found that my stainless steel roll pin was fine - it was the shaft that snapped! - right at the hole that fits the roll pin.

BTW - Mine had a hollow, stainless steel roll pin - not a solid shearable pin like CJet found in his.

I've got bar stock, a drill press and a rod bender, so I'll fabricate a new handle & rod tomorrow, then see if I can get it back together again in time for the next snowfall...

1250 for the lawn, 1450 for the snow... (& for pushing brush piles around)

Did your shaft have a second hole with a pin in it? I was wondering why mine has the other hole and pin.

Default Second hole in lift lever

CJet -

Yes, mine had a second hole - about 1/2" further in (to the left as you sit on the tractor.) - just like in your photo. But it was empty - just a hole; no pin in it.

I made my new lever today (expecting snow tonight) and I'm struggling now to put it back in. Damned pin doesn't want to slide through. I can see daylight through the pin, so I know it's lined up, and it went in okay on the workbench, but now the doggone thing just doesn't want to slip back in easily.

Clumsy area to work in, too. I did remove the gas tank and the panel, so I do have access, but darn, it's hard to work in there. Sure wish IH/Cub had thought about us repairing these old beasts when they built them...

Taking a break now; my back is getting stiff. In a minute, it will be back to the task. I can almost taste success, but until that pin gets back in and all the way through, it's still a struggle. My pin, btw is quite long - over 1 1/2".

OK. 'nuff chat. Back to work now.

- Al

Default Found the access hole...

Doggone! As I was taking a break, I glanced at the tower from the seat side... right where I need clear access, there is indeed a 2 1/2" access hole drilled through the front of the tower - to the left of the key switch. Never noticed that before (duh). Would have made it a heck of a lot easier to access that roll pin in the shaft - both to remove as well as to insert.

Oh well, live and learn. Perhaps IH/Cub wasn't all that inconsiderate after all!

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.
