129 Snow plow Lift handle part
I recently obtained a 129 model. It has a manual lift. I installed the snow / dozer blade and have a couple issues. The first one is the the lift handle will raise and lower fine, but the rod inside the handle seems to spin around and does not always catch into the spaces.
I took the handle apart and noticed a place where a button or something may have been on the upper part of the handle. In the parts diagram, there is no button. My question is...what prevents the inside rod from spinning around? |

You are missing the rest of the button/ You need this #IH-401449-R1

OP: Either your upper "button" isn't screwed on tight, or the rod is bent down below in the "L" part that hooks into the "rooster comb". Did that make sense? |

Hmm..
Do i need that float button for the use of the snow plow?
My real problem is that when i push the button in to lower the rod, the rod turns and does not lock into the rooster comb. It does not stay at a 90 degree angle. The rod inside the tube does not appear bent. Robert |

Without going out and hunting up an old lift arm to look at, IIRC the "L" shape on the bottom of the rod should not slide down far enough to get out of the "fork" in the bottom of the casting.
Therefore the fork should keep the "L" shape at a 90 degree angle as you described. If I have one here I'll try to look at it tomorrow and see for sure.

OK, I did a little research today and here is what I found.
I don't know what either of the two lift arms came off of, but they are definitely different. I checked each, with the buttons pushed all the way down the "L" shape would move lower than the fork of the casting and actually turn round and round on the one with the shorter fork. On the one with the longer fork the "L" shape would NOT protrude below the fork and therefore would not turn.

"rooster comb"
Is that in a manual? Never heard that before. Good description though...

It's similar to a part in an automatic transmission that we call the "rooster comb". It the part that holds the trans into the selected gear. See the notches? rc.jpg |

button
After putting it all back together, it does the same thing. I realize the the "Lock Button" is what is needed. It prevents the rod from being pushed too far down. I tried like hell to remove whats left of the button, but it would not budge. I think it may be easier to just find a used handle( just the outer part) that has a button in place already.

It will come out. You will probably have to get brutal & mangle it to do so.
Just be careful installing a new one. Find a socket that will fit snugly over the button and on the collar and tap it into place without distorting it. Would be a great time to get everything all cleaned up and lubed also. These machines don't like being left out in the elements for long periods of time. |

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.
