Default Stuck in gear
Ok before I tear this thing apart and go looking around I figured I would ask if anyone knows what this sounds like first. Frankly I'd rather take it to someone to fix but everyone with 100 miles of me told me they wouldn't look at it because it's too old. So my cub cadet 108 seems to be running fine, then the other day the gear shifter got stuck in a gear but the whole shifter would just slop around. After playing with it for a while it seemed to just go back to normal. Today I went to shift from reverse to 1st abd it stayed in reverse but the shifter popped out and is just sloppy loose. So again I messed with it a bg it before finally it got to a point near the 3rd gear slot where it just jammed up and when you let off the clutch it just dies after sounding bogged down. Any ideas of what to look for while I start tearing this damn thing apart?

It's not like it's a big huge deal.
Take the fenders off, then pull the top off the trans. You jammed it into two gears. It happens.
Sounds like your shift lever broke the base out. Also happens. It can be welded, or replaced. When you get the top off, flip it over and look up. You'll see what broke. If you have no idea how to fix it, box it up and ship it to me and I will. Done it for other members.

I can't believe you don't have a CC dealer, or IH dealer that would look at it. If CC refused, you can bet they would have thrown me out from the ass chewing I'd have given.

My 126 did similar thing month or so ago. Pulled covers and pulled shifter. There were 2 loose bolts right on top that needed to be tightened back up. Luckily nothing was broken. Hope you have the same luck when you open it.

Ditto what he said. The biggest part of the job of the job is removing the fender pan because of removing battery, seat, rusted foot pad bolts, etc.

Thanks guys, I'll post an update when I get a chance to tear it apart in case it helps anyone else. Good news is all the bolts are brand new so it'll come apart easy......

Ok looks like I broke the "first and reverse shifter fork service". At least that's what parts trees schematic labels it as. Site wont let me upload a picture for some reason. Now how the hell do I get it out of there to replace it?

You will get it out. Good news is it looks like there are sources to get another one!

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.
