Drive/Release Lever (147)

What is the Drive/Release lever for, and how do you use it. :roll: I know this may sound dumb, because it is self explanatory, but I tried to put it in "Release" mode, and it did nothing, it just felt like the lever and linkage was bending, and not engaging/disengaging.

I have a Cub Cadet 147. The electric lift on it just stopped working. I wanted to know the best way to replace this lift. Here are a few options I have heard of: Buying a refurbished OEM lift.
