Default 48" deck subframe lifting brkts

I found and bought the correct subframe for my 149 with a 48" deck. Everything fits correctly.

My question is about the lift brackets. I have hydraulic lift, but I doubt if that really makes any difference. The bracket on the left side is P/N IH-545703R1 per #8 on the parts look up and is NLA. I have that one. The bracket on the right side is a different two piece adjustable linkage. P/Ns IH-58773-C1 (replaced by 719-3008) & IH-58774-C1 (replaced by 911-3021). These are called out as #21 & #22 in the parts look up. I'm missing them, but they are still available.

Why is there a fixed link on the left, and an adjustable linkage on the right? Can I simply use a second #8 on the left side, or should I spend the money, about $50. for the correct linkage? I have a full fabricating shop and can reproduce the NLA #8.

Most of the other deck subframes simply have the same fixed links on both sides. Is there a specific reason that this one has an adjustable right side link?

Looking for advice on the issue and recommendations.

Mike

One side is adjustable to allow leveling the deck side-to-side. Mine sets perfectly level with the fixed links on both sides. You can adjust the level by shimming between the deck and rear hangers.

Thanks Adam. I hadn't thought about the leveling issue. I'll have to read the operator's manual and then see which way might be better in the long run.

Thanks for the learning experience.

The front deck hangers that look like slotted eye bolts allow front-to-back adjustment as well.

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.
