Default Gear shift repair

I'm redoing a 124 with a whole bunch of options and really the only thing I have to worry about now is the sloppy gear shifter. I HAVE referred to and read through the 3 parts that were written by Merk, and I just don't have the skill to do it and I don't want to butcher it.

This is going to sound kinda sad but, I'm looking for someone to fix my gear shifter I have no idea how much it will cost.

Here's the links on how to do it for those wondering.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3



Moderators! If this is in the wrong section please point me in the right direction as I wasn't sure where to post this! Thanks much and Happy Fathers day!

The cup on my 104 shift handle broke 35 years ago. I took the handle to a welding shop and the guy brazed the broken cup back on the handle.

He charged me $4.

Post up a picture of the gear shift. I can probably fix it.

Yes, where it broke.

I'm pretty sure I can fix it but want pictures to make sure. Have you priced another shifter? I'd be more than happy to fix it for you but don't want to waste your money on repair if it's a part than be replaced inexpensively.

Here's parts I make to prove my "qualifications"

I'll take it apart here and take some pictures. And yes I have priced out another gear shifter and it is far cheaper to get it repaired than it is to get a new one. I'll be back with pictures

These things are not all that difficult to fix. The ball broke on my 71. Lined it back up and welded it on the inside then took a washer and notched it to fit over the ridges on the inside of the ball and welded that to the ball and the lever so that it is now connected in 2 places. Someone like Jeff with a TIG welder could make it look like a factory job. I was having trouble getting the MIG gun inside the ball enough to do a decent job. Not pretty but if it breaks something more important is coming with it.

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.
