1541 lift question
About 3 years ago, I bought a 1541. Is there something wrong with the way my lift is set up? When I have my mower deck installed, I have to have a bolt screwed into the nut that's welded to the arm the cylinder attaches to. The bolt then pushes on the rock shaft arm to lift the deck. However, the deck hits the mower frame before the cylinder reaches full extension, causing the bolt to bend, thus I have to replace the bolt each year. When I mount my model 450 snowblower, I have to put the bolt thru the hole in the rock shaft arm, into the nut in order to get close to the correct travel. In that location, with the mower installed, the deck only lifts about an inch off the ground. The parts, and maintenance manuals I've found don't show the use of a bolt there. If I leave out the bolt, the mower deck doesn't lift at all.
Attached are photos of the arm, and bolt I'm talking about, and my mower lift linkage. thanks, Mike Schweim

That is not the way it should be. The bolt is not supposed to be used like that. You put the bolt in through the hole on the lift ear (thing to the right in picture) then into the welded nut. But this is only if you want down pressure . That is what is referred to as the float lock. Most decks barley get of the ground when raised all the way up.

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.
