Default Implement Lift Rod Repair

Howdy. I have 3 lift rods for my Narrow Frame all in some sort of
disrepair. Wanting to get parts for the 125 but want to make sure I
have an Idea where I a going.
I know I need to buy the button that you depress that threads in from
the very top. I am a little fuzzy on the button that goes in on the side
to hold it in the float position. As you can see the one is missing entirely,
The others are there but are messed up.
Does the side button just press in and pop out on its own or am I missing
something here? Am thinking I just need to pull what is left of the ones
in pics and the new button has all I need.. boy I hope that makes sense.

I am thinking if I buy #1 #3 and #4 I should be able to fix this?
I have the springs but not the spring washer, will a lock washer do?
Hope you all are well and enjoying summer, hot here except in the morning , had 38 degrees this morning.

Yeah that makes sense, BTDT, be careful when you put the button in, very easy to damage it.

The main problem that I see is the sleeve that the float button rides in.
There is a lip on the inner edge of the sleeve that keeps the float button from exiting.
Yours look pretty mangled and I don't see that sleeve as being a purchasable item.
You may have to fab your own.

In addition, I seem to remember a small spring behind the float button to keep it popped out, but I don't see anything like that in the parts drawing either.
Maybe someone else has better recollection.

I was hoping that sleeve was part of the button assembly as the one
I am trying to repair in PIC 1 is just and empty hole. I am guessing that
if for some reason the float button isn't what I hope. I can still get a wire
bail that was on some of the earlier ones to hold it in float. thanks for
the input.

Number 4 is the button itself. What part number is his mangled part??

The spring is part & parcel of the button ass'y

The washer in the tube itself keeps the large spring from falling down inside the tube.
THese parts need to be kept clean and lubed from tome to time and kept from getting rusty.

The part that is mangled is the housing for the button ass'y and needs to be removed.
Vise grip will work for this with a little bit of WD or what have you

Call me a neb-nose, but where does one procure a new "housing for the button" if the one you have is all bent to sch!tt?

I believe what Fins. is saying is that the housing for the button is part of
the button assembly. I am hoping that is the case at 20 plus dollars for the
button alone. Heck I can buy 4 gallons of gas for that price. Thanks again
for the help. I will get some parts ordered today and we shall see.

The button is a spring loaded ass'y and what you are seeing in that pic is the remains of it.
It is a friction/press fit in the handle and should not be loose.
Tap or press it into place using a socket that will rest on the body of the button and not the button proper.

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.
