Smile 2072 questions
This is my first post so please pardon any forum faux pas. And thanks to the administrator of the site who led me to the position from which i could post. I'm not sure if calling him by name would constitute aforementioned faux pas but he'll know who he is... I have a 2072 (149730100 SN#781018) that originally had a 60" Haban mower deck when i bought it but i quickly took that off and installed a 54" Haban Power Angle blade. I lent that deck to a friend and he's used it for years on his 2072 to mow several acres of pasture around his house. I recently acquired a 1572 and decided to install the Power Angle blade on that. My friend said he was no longer using the deck and i could put it back on the 2072. I did so with the only problem; other than the PTO clutch being froze up initially; being the fact it will not raise all the way. I saw another post on here that gave me some go to points to check on that. Which leads me to the problem I'm posting about on this thread. After we got the deck off his 2072 (148730100 SN#770389), he asked if he could use my extra Haban Power Angle blade and we attempted to put it on his 2072. Didn't notice until we got it installed that he was missing the lift bar on the outside of the frame. He'd never noticed because he'd only ever used a mowing deck and didn't need the auxiliary lift capability. I'm trying to understand the Parts Tree schematic and it appears there's the internal lift assembly rockshaft (part #703-0838) that fits inside the frame rails and a secondary rockshaft (703-0854-0637) that inserts from the right side of the tractor outside the frame. Is my understanding correct on this and if so; two follow up questions: 1) How is this secondary rock shaft secured inside the other rockshaft? 2) Where can i get one. I've only reached out to Mr. Houtz and five minutes into our conversation, he informed me he was on vacation and i needed to do my own work, before hanging up on me... When i input the aforementioned part numbers into his websites search engine, it didn't show any results so I'm assuming he didn't have what i needed anyhow. Before posting this i looked at a "how to post" thread and one bit of advice said "Don't send short posts"... If nothing else, i think i nailed that one! I appreciate any advice y'all are willing to send.

Thanks Ironman! I must have a weak search engine because when i originally input the part number and name, none of these came back and you'd think they would have... Your direct links offer me options galore. Much appreciated.

Question More 2072 head scratching
As a follow up to my questions back in June, i obtained and installed the outer rock shaft 703-0854-0637 and the 54" Haban blade with power angle add on so it operates from the hydraulicly powered implement lift (pardon if I'm conflating two functions but my concern is with the up/down operation).

Issue I'm running into now relates to how high it lifts the blade; just an inch or two off the ground.

It seems when the lift mechanism is engaged, it travels two or three inches before actually moving the rock shaft and the tangs where the tube lift HA-14287-0637 (on my unit, a 3/8 x 2" flat bar of the same length) is attached.

Once it starts moving that, there is only a half inch or so of travel before the tangs for the mower deck on the inside rock shaft bottom out on the frame cross member.

I would appreciate input from the experts on how to eliminate the wasted travel; seems it should start moving the blade immediately...

As a side note, this exact blade and lift bar was on another of my 2072's and worked fine; lifted 6 to 8 inches off the ground...

Thanks for any input...

@ozcub,
Do you think i should correct my literary shortcomings and repost the original contribution in hopes of getting someone to provide insight into the issue that is befuddling me?

I agree. The post you are referring to needs to be edited/spell checked. What is a pain in the ass (PITA) is trying to decipher a message like that.

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.
