I needed a small tractor and box blade to work the gravel drive at my shop. Didn't know much about Cub Cadets but found one on CL and brought it home. Started to look stuff up on the internet and found this sight.

Amazing !!

I have now spent more time reading here than I used in straightening up my gravel.

I had no idea that there was so much interest in these things. This is great.

The 128 starts and runs fine, worked great on the gravel. There are a few issues but not big. First one is that it has relatively no brakes. I saw how to restore the pads and will do that soon. May have to weld up the actuators, but that shouldn't be much.

My big question is about the lift for my box blade. When I got it, it had a hook and chain with bolts through it. That allowed me to raise the blade but
that was it. Looked like crap so I made a connector out of an I bolt and a U shaped piece of stock laying around. Now I am concerned that maybe there should be a way for the blade to be free to bounce up rather than be firmly connected to the back of the lift.

So, I need advice about the connection and would really like to see some pics of how you guys have used connectors on your lifts.
