CC 1541 with 42" plow blade
Has anyone had success in increasing the blade travel. While I plan to add a wider scraper blade to the bottom of the plow to increase the down pressure on the dual hydro to provide a better driveway contact to scrape up snow, I have yet to figure out how to increase the up travel. Any ideas would be appreciated. Happy plowing!!!

The picture with the white sub frame is what is correct for the 1541, if the one that is yellow in the other picture is made for the later cyclops tractors.
Which one do you have

Make a shorter lift rod like the one in the left picture, it is adjustable, but there is only so much travel in the rock-shaft arm to raise and lower the plow.

1541 blade lift
Thanks for your feedback. After a lot of reading I learned that Xtreme Motor Works offers some custom parts that may solve the problem and increase the blade lift height and may also produce more down pressure for scraping hard snow off the driveway. I ordered the parts and will post the results when they are installed.

mission Accomplished
After a few hours of modifications the blade now lifts sky high! Had to pick up some Mapp gas to get the new straight lift rod hot enough to bend to clear the engine panels and most of the fiberglass side panel. The fiberglass engine side panel needed to be trimmed to allow the lift arm to travel. The new parts have yet to be painted. Dont expect support from Xtreme Motor works as my email was never responded to. If you have more metal working tools and experience than I do you can save some moola by making your own parts. Thanks and have a great day.

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.
