Default 147 rear lift lever - broken....

I will not deny the fact that the 147 was being abused at the time, but is it common for the cast lift lever to break? Or did I just beat it up worse than people normally do?
I'm used to having big toy options available on our construction sites, and trying to make the little loader do too much at home with the box blade on it.
I have 80lb of suitcase weights hanging on the sleeve hitch, and its a standard Brinly box blade with the option of putting a cinder block on it, but I have 72lb of steel flat weights in its place. They came from a zero turn mower front weight kit to offset the rear bagger. I don't believe the weight was the problem, and I was grading out an area for retaining wall extension and a set of future stairs along side of it. Transitioning from steep hill to valley many times and almost having it resting on front wheels, and box blade only, with one or barely both rear wheels touching the ground. Will say I could cut a hell of a lot of material in a hurry though... Found one quick on ebay last night to get me back up quickly. Also going to weld the old one up as a spare, and may fabricate one following the plans that Adam had made in the past. When I can find the time..... I have an excavator rented for next weekend for this project and another, so the 147 can watch from the sideline and be free from further harm.

I broke mine on my 100, hence the fabricated piece and the drawings. I believe I was attempting to gently yank out a broken T-post with a chain around the sleeve hitch adapter when mine broke.

Time to look for a good used replacement.

Good thing the cast iron lift breaks rather than anything else on the tractor.

I doubt I’m the only person to occasionally perform a durability test. It broke way easier than I thought it would.

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.
