Yup, notice i didnt specify which corner yeah its taller due to the SS front axle of the later cyclops rigs.

To OP. Easiest way to remedy is park the tractor n blade on a level surface install back of subframe on the foot rest bar, then use a hydraulic jack and torpedo level to bring the front of the sub frame up to the point where the BOTTOM of the middle section, (between mold board and sub frame) is perfectly level. Make two extension pieces that bridge the gap between the quick-tach of the tractor and sub frame of the blade. Weld, bolt, duck tape... whatever your skills are. Easy as it gets.

I figured the deck would need to be removed, no big deal there. Taking off the sub frame..thats depressing. I assume the rod in the picture is the wrong length lift rod you're speaking of. A rear mounted blade is sounding better and better..

?? From Jon's post he said deck and sub frame...deck hanger, mule drive. I'm no cyclops expert, but don't you just flip the qa release handle, yank the mule drive forward and it will flop on the ground? It takes me more time to get the deck off and out than to take the mule drive off my 1450.

That sounds rather simple. First garden tractor I have owned, soon as I have some time I will jump in with both feet. This is all new to me, I have a lot to learn.

Progress. Thank you for your help, I finally had some time to spend getting familiar with the 1641. Happy happy...

The top picture in Lews post is for the rockshaft, which on your 1641 may be where the depth gage is on the right side of the frame. It is probably occupied by a plastic pointer. The cast piece is around 75.00 I think... I believe XMW makes something that might work.

Lews bottom pic is the correct bracket, but a little ingenuity does not require that specific 1. Id say at this point the rockshaft arm is your main (most expensive), followed by the lift rod, followed by the subframe height, etc...

Check with Jeff in PA to see if he can set you up. I have a spare rockshaft arm if he needs to copy it

Not sure who XMW is, I sent Jeff a link to this thread. And thank you very much.

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.
