Default 1250 Hydro Lift Install

Looking for some details.

I'm retro fitting in a hydro lift on my 1975 1250

I already have a 1450 hydro pump installed and a lift kit being installed.

Have a couple questions

I've search and watched many videos but I'm not 100% on the clevis hookup to the rock shaft. The kit I have came with one pin approx. 1/2 diameter and 1 1/2" long. The printout from an old manual shows to install in the lower of the 2 holes on the clevis. this left alot of play on the top end of the clevis that I feel will work poorly when running.

Per my reviews of others retro fitting to Cubs and said was due for floating. I guess that means give so it's not rigid to the actuator shaft..????

I was searching through my service manuals for a 1450 lift and found there is a part # IH-545633-R1 That is a float lockout..

I experminted with putting in a 2nd clevis pin but found on lowering of the acutator the inner upper ne pin put in would hit the inner frame rail.

This new part appears to possibly be the fix to this busy just checking before I try to source it out. Do I even need it? I will be using for QA42A and a 42" Mower Deck.


2nd question.

The photo's I've seen of the 1450 the control valve is on the left side of the tower and mounted almost straight up to the lift handle

The kit I have has a square metal plate that the valve mounts to the steering column which now changes where the linkage would attach to the lift handle to almost directly up from the steering column.

My lift handle has a hole drilled for the cotter pin on the left side of the lift handle.

Any help or photos of this setup on a 1450 to help see where everything is mounted?

Perhaps I have a mix of the system I have and the system I'm looking at.

This is the kit I bought:

I've attached the float pin in question

Here is a link to the part:

Attached the photo from my kit and the pin that came with it.


Help me figure this out... please

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.
