I have had the same issue with my 1450. I did bend the lift rod inward toward the seat when trying to tap in that coil pin. Need to have good back bracing on that lift rod. But, I've decided in the future, to up-grade to a 82 Series clamp-on style, and be done with the mess. I plan to order a new lift rod at that point.

Dang right, nails can last forever it seems! And pity on the poor guy that does have to remove it.

When I got my 149 the previous owner had the same problem. His fix was to tack weld that little square arm right to the handle shaft. Actually, it worked fine until the day came when I wanted to take it all apart.

Here's what you need to do.
Take a short length of 1/4x1" flat and bend one end back on itself around a 5/16" bolt, kind of like a letter "U" with one side longer.
Then drill a hole the size of your handle through from side to side of that end. Be sure to allow enough room between the bolt and the handle. Cut a slot through the bend into the hole and just a bit further into the other side of the hole.
slide the part onto the shaft alongside the original part, align the small hole for the keeper and drill, then cut to length to match as well.
Nest a 5/16" hard bolt in the "U" on the bent end, add a nut and washer and tighten around the handle rod.
It helps to tac weld the nut to one side of the U to aid in assembly.
Hope this is clear.

Later Quietlines has the same setup.

Had the same problem on my 149, welded it problem solved.

Edit: Not the recommended proper way to repair but I was in a hurry and if I have to take it apart I have the tools to do it.

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.
