Default Float lock-out "apparatus"?

From what I can tell, the wideframe implement float lockout tidbit is just a plate with a hole and a dowel pin it that goes through another hole that locks the two halves of linkage together...

My question... Why can't you just put a regular bolt in that hole that locks the two linkages together? I don't really see what the plate, according to the manual, is supposed to be doing.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered a million times before.

I have used just a bolt in the past. But drilled the tip of the threaded end for a hitch pin to hold it in

Thanks for the feedback!

Good call on locking the fastener. Sounds good to me!

If we leave the lock out pin or bolt in there, and put the deck on, we may be able to use the deck as a lift for tire changes. Just kidding. It looked to me like the spot where you would put a pin or bolt was not round but more slotted on one side. I wonder if that was just me not seeing it right.

I think the only reason for the plate with the hole it it is to allow you to turn the dowel around and keep the little plate attached to one of shafts with a cotter pin so you don't lose 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.
