Default I-H Cub 73
Hello All Fall is approaching fast! Almost harvest time here in Indiana. I have been Degreasing Cleaning & Sanding my 1969 Cub73 for primer & paint & while doing so I found a steel rod under the front portion of the frame that pulls up & snaps in place.
Any idea what this lever is for I've owned this tractor for 25 years & never noticed it before lol.

On the front, under the grill frame?
Only thing I can think of would be the quick attach lever for mule drives, blade sub frames and such.
Part #17

Your mule drive locks into that along with snow thrower and front blade and other attachments.

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.
