That lever rotates a fork inside there that pushes the locking collar into the diff and then pins engage that hold the two halves of the diff together. The rear axle needs to rotate far enough for the pins to slide into the holes in the other half of the diff, so you need to engage it and move forward (or backwards) slowly until it "clunks".

If something is broken inside, either the spring sometimes breaks, the fork is worn (often happens if the diff is misadjusted and constantly rubbing), or the pins are shared off the left dealie there (happens when people engage the diff lock while the wheels are spinning and it slams into place), it won't work.

Here's what it looks like in an AL transmission. Case is different but the mechanism is the same.

Thanks that is very helpful, I hope I don't have to dive into the guts of it, but it is great to see the operation.

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.
