I use a product called Kroil Penetrating oil..Its sold at most auto part stores and on Amazon. It is much better in my opinion then WD-40. I spray both ends of the cables while I work it in..Doesnt "run" as much as other lubricants.. Good luck.

Depending, if they are just kinda tight or stuck I use the PB as well. If
they are working well and I am just in the maintenance mode, this is always the goal. I simply use a light weight oil such as 3 n 1. I like to take them out of the tractor, hang em with the control side up and put a little lube between the cable and the sheath, let it soak. Keep putting more in till it you get some coming out the other end. I always put the control side up so any crud comes out of the cable and not back towards the control side. Have had old neglected stuff that has taken a day or two to get going but with patience you can free up most any cable. Ken

Cable lube
I use a motorcycle cable lubrication tool with Aerosol lubricants. Google “motorcycle cable lubrication tool”. $5-$10. It will drive lube from one end and out the other.

Awhile back I had 2 Cubs that spent a lot of time in the weather. It was rusted solid where it went through the dash. The part that attaches to the dash has a slit in the one side that I was able to pry open slightly and apply pb. After a lot of tapping, I was able to move the core. Then some brushing, sanding and squeezing it back together, it worked like a new one.

They have been around for at least 25 years. Mostly appropriate for the older motorcycles with cable operated systems. Hydraulics have replaced the cables on many machines.

Okay, so you've all got it covered when the linkage freezes from rust. But what if it freezes from the cold?
When this happens it's usually the result of water freezing in your cable and/or linkage. To solve this issue, although you should stray away from it if the issue is rust related, the best product to use in this situation is actually WD40. The "WD" quite simply stands for "water dispersant" and it'll do a pretty good job keeping any water outta your cable and linkage. Just some food for thought for ya's

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.
