I could make an extended end. That would be less expensive than new lift rod.

If you can weld, maybe just screw like two nuts onto the rod then screw your clevis back on then weld the nuts to the clevis. I guess that's what I would end up doing, or drilling the new holes in the lift links. Just a thought.

By chance, are those vertical lift straps for a super? They look too long and I don't feel extending the lift rod is the best solution. If this blower is still on the ground with the pivot assembly at the angle it's at, then the angles are going to be real bad if you extend the lift rod enough to pick up the blower.

Yea I agree you might run out of travel. The supers arms are 12.91" long and standards are 10.2 long if that helps.

I was just out and looked at my 451 basically same thing. on mine the lift arms have 3 holes in the bottom and mine is in the middle hole. I would think it would be a better option to punch a set of 1/2" holes in the lift arms. sbauerz28 is correct if you extend the lift arm something could possibly bend or break. My lift straps have 3 sets of holes on the bottom by the way.

cubs-n-bxrs : can you measure your straps so I have a pattern, a pic or 2 would be helpful to.

I added 3" to my lift rod and it lifts it 4-5" off the ground easily now. In the spring , I plan on making new lift straps . thanks for all the help we got that 4 letter word in the forcast here for friday.

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.
