Cub 149 Shifter linkage
Hello all.
I am trying to tighten up the slack/ slop in the linkages on the side of the transmission. I need any helpful information on replacing the pin on one plate that rides in the slot of the other. I also need to find replacement ends for linkage rod from the lever shaft to the plate. I replaced the two springs, but they seemed the same as the old, and the slot they are in is not worn. I also shimmed the shaft between the lock ring and the outer plate. Still way loose, so more looking found the above parts worn. Thank you all.

I’ve been dealing with the same thing, and sadly it’s one of IH’s major flaws with these tractors. I’ve tightened everything up on my 129 and it still has a mind of its own. For a temporary fix (probably permanent) I shoved a piece of fuel line very tightly on the butt end of the speed control lever and tightened the set screw to the spline shaft, and it has a lot of friction when you move the lever, but it doesn’t speed up on its own any more. I’m sorry i wasn’t able to answer your question properly, but there’s a little something for you to try. Been holding up for around a year so far, but it’s obviously like trying to put a band aid on a broken leg.
If zip ties and duct tape doesn’t fix it, something else will. ‘Jerry rigging at its finest’

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.
