Thinking about Electric Lift vs Hydro
Been kicking around the idea of an electric lift on my 129 for a dozer blade. Yes i know it is hydro rear end but I do not belive there are extra ports for adding hydro and do not know alow about how to run it.
My question/s are: Has anyone ever built a "custom" electric lift using accuators (sp?). I have an idea on how to mount an accuator to lift bracket on dozer blade and then maybe to the cast iron grill for the other end. And maybe using two for lift and then adding another for angle. Does this sound like a bad idea? I understand how to wire an electric lift a whole lot better than trying to plumb hydro. Electric i would only need one switch for raise and lower, (x2 if I use two lift cyl) and a second for angle. Second question is: Has anyone, or can you even, use a automotive size battery vs. the smaller "lawn mower/garden tractor" battery? I also have an idea of adding a removable (if needed) battery box to the rear of the tractor. This a bad idea also as it is 12v correct? Thank You everyone that helps and enjoy them Cubs!! Dont forget baseball season is almost here and GO CUBBIES!!!! So there is a double pun for you!! Thanks again John

I would just get a ported pump and the cylinder, valve, handle, etc. and convert your 129 to hydraulic lift. Hydraulic systems are more reliable than electric actuators. It is not that difficult, and we're here to guide you through the installation. It would be a bad idea to mount actuators to the grille.

Yeah,that many accuators will overwork your charging system,even with a bigger battery.And like Matt said,it would be a bad idea to mount actuators to the grille.Im not a big fan of electric lift myself,they arnt as strong,and tend to be unreliable.

I was under the impression that starting with the 129, they all came with the extra port because hydro lift was an option...they just needed to add the lines, valve, and cylinder.
As far as the electric lift goes. I researched it because the NF complete setups were so expensive. A direct replacement for the IH actuators are $500 from Duff Norton. Then you'll need to wire it. And as Matt stated, they are unrelable because they freeze up.

Thanks guys for the info. I was just thinking about all of this. I am not really versed in hydro as I have never worked with it. And I would have to agree that electric may not be best due to slowness and possibality of freezing up, but I understand how to wire them up as 12v wiring and basic 120v is kinda childs play.
SOOOOOOOO??? Does anyone have some detailed pictures and/or links of hydro on a 129 or similar model and a parts/price list or even a detailed, broked down parts list of what is needed. Im sorry, I am dumb on hydro and do not understand what all is needed for them. Thank you all very much as your opinion counts to me as you all have been out here in the Cubby world longer than I. Take care and enjoy john

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.
