Default 128 clutch release rod

Does anyone know if a clutch release rod off a narrow frame tractor the same as a wide frame? I ordered a new release lever but now I can’t find the rod for my 128. (It was missing a lot of parts )Or if someone knows the measurements of this part. Thanks

The rod is nothing more than a length of threaded rod with a 90* bend on one end IIRC. Easy enough to fabricate.

The levers are available from CCS, see banner up top this page.

He has the rod as well

For your information: The rod from narrow frame is a different part number than that of your 128. A rod for124 narrow frame uses 393124-R1...... whereas you have 544133-R3. While the numbers are different, I can't tell you whether if they can be interchangeable one way or the other.

Maybe this will help you....
I have a 1200 which uses the same rod as your 128
A NF rod will not work because the return spring is attached at the angle as shown in pics and the NF rod is does not have enough length going through the arm to accommodate the spring.

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.
