Deck Lift Links And Cables - Cub Cadet I Series Professional Shop Manual

Deck lift links and cables

The deck lift links have two functions. The first
function is to support the rear of the deck. The second
function is to raise or lower the deck in response to
movement of the deck lift lever.
To accomplish the second function, the deck lift
cables run from the deck lift shaft assembly, over a pul-
ley to the lift links.
As with most tractors made by Cab Cadet there are
two holes in the lift link that the lift cable can go into.
The top hole is for garden tractors and the bottom hole
is for lawn tractor. See Figure 8.29.

NOTE: If the cable is installed in the wrong hole,
the belt angle between the electric PTO clutch
and the deck will be off. This will result in the
PTO belt being thrown off.
