Default 106 Manual Deck Lift

I've gone through two Manual Lift Arm Button IH-401456-R2 over the past few years. They seem to just vanish while mowing. Can't seem to find a replacement anywhere.

Is there a hack that can be used to catch an adjustment slot with the rod?

Thanks
Dennis

A bit of clarification here would help.....
Do they just come unscrewed and fall out or break off where the lock indent is??

Operator error on the first, broke it off on a tree branch. The second just disappeared, possibly became unscrewed.

Looking for some ideas on a work-around till I can locate a replacement. Right now I'm relying on the handle stopper to keep from scalping the lawn.

Click on the yellow box at the top of the page “Parts by Jeff” and send him an email. He doesn’t have them listed on his page, but I’m pretty sure he does make the lift buttons.

Along with Parts by Jeff, I believe Cub Cadet Specialties has all
the button parts as well. I know I did both my narrow frames
a couple years ago with their parts.

Checked C C Specialties and Houtz both out of stock. I checked Jeff's site and didn't see what I need.

A little background. I'm 82 and not in the best of health but can handle stand up work, I can get down on the ground, getting up again is another story. Between the abdominal hernia and vanishing muscles, getting 220lbs off the ground is a chore without help. I can change deck and mule drive belts from a standing position. Gave myself a pat on the back for that one.

The rod that goes down the handle shaft has slipped way down. Pushing it back up, I guess I'd have to drop the deck and crawl under it to get at it.

With all that said and part not available, I think I'll just use the stopper to set the cutting height and keep rolling. Thanks for the responses. You guys are great.

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.
