I haven't looked that deep into the wiring diagram for my 108. When you say standard power area you saying there is an aux power setup or something else?

Nope. Hooked to the battery. No modifications to the battery or charging system to run it

Not sure of the exact model I'd have to go take it off the tractor to see the serial number/model number. Its a 1000lb 4" stroke linear actuator. Anything 500-1000 lb and 4-6" stroke will work.

I put a narrowframe hydro on my 147. It's not a simple bolt on by any means. Unless your mechanically inclined and have a good shop, I'd go with another option.

Thank you all for taking the time to answer my post. Not sure what I will be doing, but I know the white stuff will be on the ground soon enough.

Excuse the dirty deck
I'm thinking of stealing your idea and doing the same thing on my 104. Have you had any bending issues with that bolt on the bottom of the actuator next to the generator? With a 1000 lbs on that bolt I wasn't sure how it has held up over the years.

My son built me a box scraper that weighs 175 lbs and it takes the both of us just to lift it off the ground using the existing lift lever!

I like the elift but the worst thing is fixing them when they break. I put new bearings, bushing, brushes in the motor on mine then the spiroid gear went. I haven't fixed it yet as I'm contemplating selling it and putting a winch on the tractor to raise and lower implements.

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.
