Plow lift handle bracket question
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi All, got the plow on tonight but the lift handle bracket doesnt allow the foot pedal to go back against the frame. Looks like it might be bent up too much? I still framed some plow videos to try and get a close up but no luck. I can just heat and bend the fingers out but just in case I am missing something, throwing it up here first:

That one is for the 1x6 1x7 models, it will still work but you will need a longer bolt and some washers to space the the foot rest away from the frame.

cool that explains it then! I can always bend those tabs away too I would think so the foot rest can then move inward where it belongs...

The tabs are supposed to be there, a bolt goes through the bracket to keep it from coming off.

Grind the corners off the tabs to clear the foot fest or shave a little off the end of the it,

What is he going to do when the forks for the plow frame are there?
There is a manual that shows how it mounts.

If i know what u mean by the forks, they mounted inside the frame... and I have the 2 page manual... got it on another cub site

They mount on the outside of the frame.

This is where they landed on the foot rest thru-rod...

the manual picture is not particularly clear.

EDIT: I discovered a reason to move the forks outward. The pins on that bracket assembly (mower bracket?) come up and hit the form arms now when the lift lever is pulled back. If the fork arms were spread out more the pins would pass them. I will do that tomorrow.

I'd take the lift bracket off and smash the tabs on the bottom together in a vise. to facilitate the footrest being reinstalled.

The sub frame arms need to attach to the outside of the frame on the rockshaft, not inside as pictured above. The manual has it on the outside of the frame. It's a PITA to get it all lined up- I have a block of wood the correct length I stick in the subframe to spread the arms to get it to clear the A brackets that the shaft bolt to the (tractor) frame.
