PTO lever fix on a 129
There is a spring-loaded pin on the PTO lever that locks the PTO lever back (disengaged). This pin is retracted when you push the knob on top of the PTO lever. This pin is wobbly and loose preventing the PTO lever from locking it back securely. I have looked and can only find the entire replacement handle. Does anybody know how to fix this pin? Thanks.

Are you saying that the pin doesn't come up high enough to get in the grove on the bracket that is mounted to the side of the dash tower? Or is it so loose in its hole that it won't line up with the grove?
I've never had to work on one before, so I have no first hand experience with what "goes wrong" with them. The exploded view shows that the horizontal pin at the bottom does not come out. I will look tomorrow and see what it looks like, I'm not 100% sure but I think I sold the last one that I had (that isn't in a running tractor). You might try tightning the thumb button on the top and see if that helps any. I hope in the meantime, someone can give you a better answer.

I had the same problem with a cub cadet 86. What I had to do was weld and recut the slot to tighten it up. I have seen other tractors with the same problem. Sometime the piece with the slot is welded in crooked from the factory.

My 149 and 169 have the same problem. If you adjust the linkage enough to disengage the pto you wouldnt have the proper gap when you engage the pto and it would rapidly wear the pto button. So what i did was to adjust the proper clearence with it engaged and then when you pull the lever back drop in a homemade wedge. Keeps it tight in the disengaged position.Its a 2 handed operation to kick it in and out but it will get you by till you can get it repaired. I have been running them like this all summer. And they have worked great. Hopefully over the winter i can get one of these apart and figure out how to repair.

Thanks, Diz!! I've been wondering how to approach this issue with the 'new' 149 I got last weekend. Like you said, it will engage all day, but to disengage it or when starting the tractor, the pto clutch hangs and makes it hard on the generator. As a courtesy to the pto button, I decided to go with the 1/32 free play when it is engaged, rather than adjust the other way. But now, you have given me a great idea! I'll probably use wood for the wedge instead, easier to come by the stock around here! Your steel wedge is waayy too professional for me!

Hey Diz, I just checked out your photos....did you use a power slip roller to make the shell for the roller or what?
I like that. That diamond plate must be a bear to bend, unless it's thin.

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.
