Default I finally installed the float button on my 125 ....

and it's amazing how nice the float feature works on my 125 with the 42" cast iron end mower.

Back in '03 when I purchased the 125, the button for the lift handle was missing so I drilled and tapped a piece of 1/2" round bar. That worked for setting it in a notch but since it didn't have the correct cutout plus the push button on the handle itself was broken, no float.

I made the correct handle button ( thank to Lew for the original to copy ) and installed a factory float button in the handle.



The lawn looks even better now

Probably around $18. The undercut for the push button latch is a real to cut.

I'll check again on that. I thought I had looked and it wasn't available. Maybe I just assumed. That was a while back.


Nice work as always!

Nice job Jeff!

I finally made a wire bail to lock float on my O earlier this summer. It's nice when the little jobs make a big difference!

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.
