I took some PB blaster to the conversion arm (technical term? not sure..) and then since I don't have a pry bar/crow bar I used a tire iron... it came loose and can now be converted to the "snow" and "dozer" option interchangeably. I'm satisfied. I'm on the lookout for some weights and some chains, but besides that, I can't wait for winter!

---Resurrecting this thread because I did some work on the blade recently. One end of the lift rod had the hole rusted over. I had to drill and punch out whatever remained inside the hole, but I can now slip a quick pin in both ends of the rod so it won't fall out when in use.
I had to flip the wear strip around to a more straight side AND adjust the pads so now it rides on the pads and not the strip. I also had to bend in the quick attach mounts because they were too wide for comfort, the bolts are for reassurance.  Much to my wife's chagrin, I'm looking forward to winter and pushing some snow!!! I need at least chains FOR SURE as I pushed some dirt and the tires slip on the grass, I don't even want to know how it'll do in snow.

Weight will make snow removal much easier too. Either fluid in the tires or wheel weights ( I have both ) plus chains make a very positive difference.

Be careful with the chains on your cement driveway, I know that you can spin and dig up the concrete or black top. If you can just add wieght and let some air out of the tires and keep the drive fairly clean, you may not need the chains. If I keep up on my blacktop drive and keep it down to the blacktop, I don't spin much on mine. Just a suggestion.

In regards to the lift lever--
the guy I bought the tractor from bought it with the lever already installed. I'm guessing the owner before him put it on because I am the 3rd owner (that I'm aware of) as the original owner I think was a farmer, and I think he put the lever on. The PO I bought it from said he had no clue what the lift switch was for (as it is still attached to the dash.) I don't mind the lever; it makes it easier to mow over roots and such. I doubt I'd put an electric lift back on it, unless I can find one cheap. The most I might do is a hydraulic lift.

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.
