That button is supposed to pop out when you push the top button down, try spraying some PB Blaster down the top of the handle toward the front where that button is.

If it doesn't loosten up after awhile you may end up having to replace it.

Thats the Float button that allows your attachment to follow the uneven contour of the ground. Just soak it good with Knocker or PB Blaster and take a lite weight hammer and tap down on the big top button then up on the bottom pin then down again while holding back on the lift handle. When its working right you slightly pull back on the handle while pushing down on the thumb button and the Float lock button pops out releasing the thumb button to rise. Keep soaking and tapping and it'll free up for you.

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.
