How to repair lift lever button
While painting the lift lever for my 124 I managed to drop the entire assemble and it broke the "thumb button" off of the top. It looks as if the thumb button was threaded in with a 3/16" bolt that was integral with the button. It broke off cleanly down in the shaft, and I have about 1/4" of threads left on the button. I'm thinking that the best way to fix this would be to drill out the portion still in the shaft, and re-thread it for a replacement button or a stack of washers and a replacment bolt to act as a button. Has anyone else had to do this? Any words of wisdom or alternate ideas? I need to get this fixed asap, and I am not concerned about the appearance/"authenticity" of the fix.
Thanks.

No luck
You're not having any luck with your ?. I have the same problem on a green tractor that I bought from a neighbor, and was wondering if there was a quick fix for it. I'm going to work on it today to see if there's anything I can do. Good Luck. I have to get rid of this tractor to make room for 2 more cubs that are coming my way on friday.

the button on my green tractor ended up being a round piece of metal with a 1/4-20 thread in it, and it screwed onto a shaft inside the lift handle. Only cost 3 bucks

Did you have any luck fixing your issue? I don't know how you would go about it, but if worse comes to worse, see the for sale section (125 parts MO), my tractor that I am parting should have the parts you need to get you going. Good luck getting it fixed!

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.
