This may be a dumb question to some but why would you need it in the locked position? Would it be for pushing dirt and keeping it level, or right where you want it?
What does the float lock out clip look like?
Here is what the lock out clip looks like on a Wide Frame and Quiet Line Cub:



Installed in lift system:

Lock Out removed:

My lock out pin was made in my shop.

Why do you need a lockout pin?
The only time I need lock out pin is when I need down pressure on an attachment. The lock out pin is removed when I push snow.

Thanks for the pics MERK, now I have to make something else that I didn't know I needed. I can't believe what all you can learn from starting a thread and watching where it will go. All I wanted to know where the dimensions of a lift rod, and I learned a lot more about that than I thought I would need to know. And now a new gadget that I didn't know existed and how to use it. Great info, thanks all.

I don't use the lockout pin when I move dirt and stone when using the front blade. The only time I do us the lockout pin is when I have the moldboard plow on. My sleeve hitch for my plow is set up to put down pressure on the plow.

What is the purpose of having the wheels on 2x4's? Would the same process be used for a snowthrower lift rod?

The reason is so that if you go over the top of a hill and the blade needs to drop below the front wheels, it can. I would do the same for a snowthrower.

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.
