Congrats on the very nice lift

Could you straighten out the label some to show more of it? ( or type what it says ) That would help with the google search

Well, just couldn't wait till I cleaned up the garage before using the lift. After all I saw it go up and down when it was empty. What fun is that? But this- this is the real deal. Yes, I will clean up, don't want OSHA showing up and shutting me down.

Biggest problem right now is that the metallic portion is scraped (as you can see) but those rolls are really tight. Trying to figure a way to unroll without destroying it any more.

darkminion 17,
Thanks Lew, yeah, half hour to Montague, over the mountain and through the woods. Have though about contacting you and stopping over but with your busy schedule, stalking about the countryside and grabbing up all of the available tractors, I figured I'd have to show up with my 100, or at least one of the Originals as payment for an audience.
Seriously, now that I'm getting ready to work on some of this these tractors, I will probably need advice on sourcing parts and definitely on the restore. It's been just a month or two shy of six years since I brought these home with the hope of restoring at least one, hopefully both, during my retirement. Well, retirement is here, along with another dozen tractors of varying brands. Guess it's time to get busy.

SUCCESS!

Thanks to a member on another site, I now have leads on contacting the manufacturer for any info they may have on this lift. That was quite the detective work to find the logo buried 56 pages into a PDF of a German company's history. I had been searching for several days, all to no avail.

Most of the stuff is pretty basic, but would like to get the air powered safety stops working and see how the foot pedal is adjusted. I can use the stops by pulling and releasing with a 3 ft handle w/hook on the end, but just would like to get it all working properly. Now that is seems that things are starting to warm up, I can see a sprucing up job, possibly some paint, in the future.

"It's a Herkules!!!
Go to page 56 of this PDF doc, you will see the logo from your label on the wall in a picture (company history). Also, the address and phone number (page 60) look familiar from what is visible on your label."

Did a little digging, came up with these links:

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.
