Default Lift arm placement

Looking for some opinions. The lift arm on my 1450 broke where the bolt goes through connecting it to the hydraulics for the lift. I brazed it last night, re-drilled the hole and put it back together. It didn't hold so I took it back apart and welded it. Before I re-drill another hole I'm asking for pros/cons of flipping the lift handle from the right side of the tractor to the left.

I would think it may be a bit more handy having the gas and lift handles on opposite sides which is part of my thought.

Also, is there a way to get a bit more clearance out of the blade in full lift mode? It seems like it only clears the ground about 5 or 6 inches when fully raised. Just seems like it should lift a bit more than that.


Thanks,
Randy

Sounds like you have the old style lift arm with the pin through it. I would get rid of it and get the newer style with the bolt. Much easier to install and the lift arrm bracket will be stronger.

As for changing the lift arm handle to the left side I have done that on several Quietlines and I like it better. It matches my 782 which is on the left.

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.
