Finally getting around to working on this again today. Figured I would
put a couple pics in with this thread of the parts for the next guy needing
the help I needed.
I guess I will just put a standard lock washer in the tube as I can't
seem to find an actual "Spring Washer" for it.
Hopefully get er done up today and then I can take the wire off the
lift handle that holds the deck at the height I wanted.

Got a buddy w/a lathe?
Have him make you one, piece of cake actually.

I don't have any friends with a lathe here, but at least they do have boats.
Got this mostly back together. Not being able to find the right washer
for this I decided to customize my own. Sheeesh. I could not quite get
the inside and outside diameter just right. It always hung up in the tube
and would not allow spring and rod to travel free in the tube. After way
to much dinking around I scrapped the washer and put it back
together, works just dandy. I didn't put the float button back in yet. Figuring
I would hold off on that one since it's use is for the snow thrower. Should
be a couple weeks yet before I need that, maybe. Nice to have the deck
working again.

You can capture your washer between two nuts on a bolt, chuck up your bolt in your hand drill, run the drill against a file or a grinder. Crude, but it will shrink the outside diameter down.

That is a cool idea Gary. I was actually having to shave down the O.D. as
well as increase the I.D. so that would have worked better. The old
vice grip holding a washer on the bench grinder has it's limits when
it comes to accuracy.

The spring will likely get crammed right past the indent on the handle and get hung up and stuck.

PM me your address and I will make you a few of them.
No charge.

Finished this up yesterday and all is well. Thank you again to all that helped'

I once again had to laugh at myself. I recently had a discussion with
with myself about skills I need to improve on. One of the topics was pay
more attention to the sequence of disassembly so when I reassemble I
can quit backtracking from missed steps. While I am improving in that area
as you can plainly see from the picture I have a ways to go.
Nothing a razor blade and some Gorilla tape couldn't cure.

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.
