[AT] Cub Cadet 129

[Mike Sloane]

The lever has to be pushed rather hard against some internal spring, and 
then held there by a small hunk of angle iron that swivels to lock it in 
place. (At least that is the way it is on my 123.)

And yes, it is filled with Hytran (or the modern equivalent, which can 
be found in almost any farm supply or auto parts store).

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he
thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into
an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
-Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher (1844-1900)
