Default 42 inch blade power angle
I have seen mentioned that some folk have used a hydraulic implement lift ram to add power angle to their blades. Because that ram is considerable shorter that those usually used for power angle I am very curious on how to accomplish this. These rams are indeed less expensive than the longer ones which might make the modification affordable. Does anyone have plans or pics on how to fabricate this? Snows on the way!!!! Thanks.

The ram has to connect closer to the pivot point of the plow, the further away from the pivot point you mount it the longer the stroke needs to be to get full movement.

The thing you have to watch is the fact that the ram is so much smaller. If you hit anything, it will snap/break the ram easily.

Default blade ram
Thanks for the feedback...Found the ram brackets for $85 on line and asked them what the diameter is on the bracket rods that support the ram. The prices are decent on that ram source. Am thinking that 1.5" diameter with a 7 inch stroke might do the job....

Default Blade ram cylinder
I was in contact with the surplus center and they need more information than my limited knowledge can provide them.
Would one of you nice folks with a ram please measure it fully retracted from hole to hole center? One person on the forum stated that he used a 1.5" bore and a 7 inch stroke so I will just go with that. Thanks much.

I don't know if it will work on a 42" but on my Haban 54" blade I got a cylinder from a John Deere grain head, it's the cylinder that raises the reel. So far it works good and only cost $ 10 plus the hoses.

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.
