Question GT 3200 differential lock problem
This mower is new to me but previously used. I inherited it from a person who died so obviously can't ask any questions about it. It works and mows pretty good but I noticed one feature isn't quite right and that's the differential lock pedal. It's always to the floor and not engaged. I checked the diff lock lever and it seems to click into position when I move it by hand, so that doesn't seem like a problem to me but I could be wrong. The cable itself doesn't seem damaged but it does appear to be too long or something because the pedal barely starts engaging it when it's to the floor, even after adjusting the little adjustment screw thingy. Any ideas on how I would go about diagnosing the actual issue and fixing it? If I need a new cable, any idea where I might get one?

Is it normal for them to just kinda stretch a couple inches? Seems odd

No, they dont stretch. There should be a spring on one side however, that's what keeps the pedal up. My guess is something is bent or not connected correctly if the cable is in tact. Either that or someone installed a incorrect cable. Check that the bracket that holds the cable is tight and not bent opposite of the spring end. I'm assuming the actual lock lever is not bent and in correct rest position.

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.
