Electric Implement Lift
Thought you all would find this little project I did interesting. I was frustrated w/the lack of availability and/or cost of a factory lift. So I build one myself. My goal was to build something that would not involve "hacking" up my machine.
I bought the lift used. It is a 1000LB rated Warner electric unit. I painted it and mounted with a bracket & bolts to the frame. I attached to the lift assembly w/a hitch pin. Constructed a wiring harness from automotive grade wire & a fabric loom. I wanted a joy stick because I may at some point try and build an electric power angle. The stick is 4-way. To use a joy stick, I had to build a relay setup (2) w/2P 2T relays. I had a hard time finding them. Purchased from MSD ignition via JEGS Speed Shop. Mounted a watertight aluminum project box under the seat to house. All is protected with a 30A circuit breaker. All terminations are heat shrunk. I found the leg guard used for $4.50. It works awesome! I plowed for hours. I do have a spring assist on this. However, I'm sure it would work fine with out it. It was a fun project.

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.
