There should be evidence of one or the other of them moving on the rock shaft then.
Are you sure it's not the part on the outside, be it hydraulic or manual that's not slipping? With the tunnel cover off it should be readily apparent what is going on. Find out which one is moving, then line it up with the one that appears to NOT be moving so the pin, or what's left of it, will be lined up with the hole in the shaft |

Ok guys. drekeweg Has another thread that apparently some of you missed. Just so we aren't re-hashing out all the details of her problem, here is the link to the thread. If you have any questions as to the details of the problem, reading this (other) thread should answer them.

Well a little, went to my Cub dealer , bought some Seafoam and the replacement pins.
The rockshaft and pins are soaking. I did a good bit of paint removal before I sprayed.While the soaking is in progress I tuned her up, new plugs, air filter, fuel filter, just replaced the hydro filter and fluid in March, changed oil and filter.Got out my grease gun and lubed her...yadda yadda. I had to remove the R rear wheel and tire and took it in for a tube .Slow leak .I changed out the valve stem first as I was not looking forward to pulling the weight off to remove the wheel, aired it back up and still had a nearly flat tire this A.M. So that is where I am at now. Thanks for asking

Took 982 to the Dealer for repair gotta choose my battles.
Spirol pins ok, rockshaft ok.They said I had too long a lift rod, put a shorter one on, lift was good. Plowed my lane, then pushed snow off to make room for new snowfall plowing, smacked into a hidden stump about 4"diameter, and 5 " tall, hidden .had no clue what I hit.did a faceplant into my windshield.Cleaned myself up, went back out to finish up, after 1pass up and back, smacked into the same damned stump..( this time I looked to see what was buried in all that snow)Another faceplant, this time I broke my nose..hurt like hell, put ice on it and took ibuprofin.Took the rest of the day off. Lost bridge pin, and washer, and tube fell off.That is when I lost lift again. I just paid $91.00 for parts and $420.00 in labor..so I checked spirol pins ..ok. Put tube back on, still only 1"lift. Originally there was a bolt with 2nuts for adjustment on the front lower frame of the blade..mechanic took it off. Question..will replacing that adjustment bolt give me lift again? Thanks... |

![]() I am gonna go out of a limb here and say that now something is bent. No idea what. Just a note..... the labor bill sounds kind of high for replacing a lift rod. I'm assuming that a haul in and back home was on there too, but still.... that's a lot of $$ for the repair made unless I missed something. Not sure what to tell you to do, but something is definitely broken or bent. Just as a note, I'm glad to see I was correct. I didn't think it looked like any of the spirol pins were sheared. But, I did think the rockshaft may have been bent. I suppose it could be now......

Thanks Jonathan...the repairs were :they checked the rockshaft, pins, hydraulics, changed air filter, put in 2 spark plugs..shortened my tire chains to fit, put a tube in right rear tire, attached the blade assembly and replaced the lift rod with a shorter one, and put 3screws on the tunnel cover..7 hrs labor at $60. 00 an hour.
I did think the lift rod looked bent ,and the adjustable bolt in the lower front lift bracket was not put back on, 1of the 2 bolts from either side of the bracket attachment was missing completely and the other was so loose I can wiggle it with my fingers, ( this is how it was returned to me)...I ran a wire thru the spirol pins and they are lined up..which led me to about the same conclusion as you, I bent that rod,...or, as I think , that adjustable bolt / nut on the lower bracket area should be put back on . My blade just DROPPED...blam!, after or right before my tractor stopped dead in its tracks.I could not see the washer or bridge pin anywhere near where the tube dropped which made me wonder if they fell off at the 1st collision, and the tube just held on somehow for awhile. If I am muddy in my descriptions I am sorry...J-Mech, the repair bill did include a $75.00 haul charge for a 6 mile round trip...but can you see why I don't trust others to do work for me? . ![]()

You might try advertising for help in your locale to see if a fellow forum member could help you with your tractor who might live close by you. Another option that you could explore is to check to see if there is a local antique tractor club in your area that might have some good ole' fellas who could help you out. If they are Mason's, then I know they will help you out.
Well, just some suggestions that might save you some $$$ and regain your trust in your fellow (wo)man. Cub Cadet 123

Noticed a LOT of hydro oil on the floor under the rear of the 982..after the collision with the tree stump, could the force of that hit have caused such a leak? I am not trying to sound like a dummy, I just am not educated on the hydraulics..
I had posted earlier about the 2 collisions and loss of lift. anyone have an idea? |

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.
