Default Original 3rd gear issue
So got my original running for the first time the other day. Took it for a ride around the yard and noticed it will occasionally "fall out" of 3rd gear. Any thought of what could be causing this and the potential fix?

Thanks,
Ryan

More than likely the detent is wore out. Could be problem with the shifter, or a bent shift fork, or even a bad gear. You will have to take the top off of the trans to diagnose.

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.
