1811 Blade lift arm and rod
 

Ended up finding a blade for free from a neighbor, however It does not have the lift arm or rod. Going to order what I need on Cub Cadet Warehouse but I want to make sure I am getting the right thing. Will the following work? I have a 1811.

NEW LIFT ROD IH 548589 R1 28 inch 1-2 inch
SNOW DIRT BLADE WIDE FRAME 1968 AND UP SERIAL # 400,001 - 665,000
APPROX. 28inch LONG

USED SNOW DIRT BLADE LIFT ARM IH 473925 R1 759-3105
42 & 54 inch BLADE SERIAL # 400000 - BELOW

Thanks in advance for the help.

You could make your own lift rod.

That's a sharp 100! I bolted my sub frame to the mule drive, just like the owner of the 100 did! :beerchug:

Any one know if these parts will work?

I found these part numbers at cubcadet.com

What's your serial number?

Or you could use some cable, like I ended up doing for my QA42A snowthrower.....



Just 6' of 840 lb cable, with two clamps...works on NF and WF tractors......and I have less than $5 in it. :beerchug:

Nice work, Conner! :ThumbsUp:

Thanks, Allen! :beerchug:

cable vs rod
 

I thought about trying this... does it work with just the weight of the blade or does a stiff rod help hold the blade down ??
