Lift Arm - 129 Adjustment Help w/Snowblower
My 129 has a snow blower on it and I've had some troubles with the lift arm "locking" in the up position. The arm itself has some play in it, but the little finger thing is rotating out of the little "U" shapes which should keep it up. Is this a fixable issue with an adjustment, or is it simply worn out? I've been digging around and can't seem to find any way to snug this up.
If this is a rookie question, please go easy on m

This may be a rookie question, but I've been around cub cadets for a long time and within the last couple of weeks I noticed a similar problem on my 109... I haven't dug into it yet so I can't answer your question just yet.
Point being, I don't think anyone will come down on you too hard.

Sounds like a spring issue, if I understand your problem. Try some PBS Blaster to assist the return of it.

I finally had some time to get to the snow blower machine (not a priority in June) and shot some penetrating oil on the mechanism. It seemed to help, but it won't hold the weight of the snowblower in the "up" position, seems to bounce out when I hit the slightest of bumps. Does anyone one know if there are parts available for this machine I'm thinking of rebuilding the entire arm.

Need Expert Opinion
Okay, as it gets closer to winter I realize I need to get this issue resolved. I dug into this a bit and the spring seems to work much better after I lubricated it and got the gunk out of it. The problem still is that it won't hold the blower up.
As I dug around, it appears the part of the lift handle which acts as the fulcrum has excessive play side to side which is allowing the little " L " shaped thingy to slide out of the teeth.  (See part #10 in the diagram from the link below.)Does anyone know if this is adjustable or perhaps it's just shot? I didn't disassemble it any further at this time. Welcome to any and all suggestions! http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=c...&dn=0020100025

Rweaver- When you face the side to side wear, what is the culprit most times? Any suggestions you can offer are greatly appreciated.

How does this come apart?
Ray was kind enough to sell me a nice looking lift arm, now my question is what is the easiest way to swap this out?
I punched out the roll pin holding the lift arm onto the lift mechanism which is under the belly, but it doesn't look like there is enough clearance to slip this off (it hits the foot floor board thingy). Do you suggest more disassembly of the lift mech under the belly or do I need to remove the floor board thingy (Which of course has two remaining screws rusted on and stripped screw driver head )Thanks to any and all who respond with thoughts!

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.
