I see this post is a bit old but I was wondering the same thing about raising my mower to get more ground clearance. I don't need it for mowing but some of my paths are darn rocky and uneven and going slow doesn't always help. I have a 50 inch LTX1050. I mow in level 8, just a couple notches below high. I can't imagine mowing down at 1 or 2 but I guess different grasses require different heights. That aside, I can see that I could go up two inches(radius) and still clear the deck in the up position. The clearance grows as the deck is lowered. The front wheels would just clear the front shroud while sitting still.
Also it looks as though the mounting bracket could be welded lower on the deck as there is clearance above to tuck it in a bit higher, might cause some belt clearance issues though. But, the info about overloading the transmission is enough to talk me out of it. I know how to fix my problem by using my tractor to smooth out the rough patches. Mostly I wanted to commend all the folks that responded to the original poster with such patience, most remarkable! Maybe he could just over inflate his tires. |

I have about an acre behind the house that I went through and cleared the small trees and brush out of. It's rough as a cob. About once a month I go over it with one of my Cyclops tractors with the blades 5 or so inches off the ground. Every LT that I have tried to use back there I have torn up. I've bent blades and decks and busted spindles. I like LT's on small lawns but rough terrain is not the place for them. My opinion.

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.
