New to group. Looking for advice on a homemade spring assist
Hello All.
Got my 1st garden tractor that I enjoy working on. I traded a recurve crossbow for a Cub Cadet 1250 last fall. Since then, I've been tinkering around with it, and getting it running fairly smooth. Searching for attachments and asking around about these cubs, I bought a snow plow , decent #1 tiller, hitch and Brinly plow. I am excited to plow some new ground soon! Seems like there would be an easy way to make a spring assist. But I feel like I would spend more time trying to figure it out. Does anyone have any info on that? Looks like they are around $150 new. Thanks |

As far as the spring,, THIS really is a Goldilocks situation,, If the spring is too strong, it will not work if it is too weak, it will not work, the spring has to be JUST RIGHT,, and, that is because the range of motion of the spring attachment is so small,, |

Made one up a couple years ago for a 129 I was selling, used a Cub Cadet 2135 Lawn Tractor OEM Lift Spring 732-3093 which I got on ebay for 15 bucks or so it was close but not identical I think a little smaller ID than a normal wide frame lift and maybe a coil or two less but I also had a factory wide frame assist to copy the rest of the parts from and a local fab shop that made me a couple brackets for cheap ! It worked as well as the factory ones, the only reason I did it was that I didn't want to send my factory assist down the road with a tractor I was flipping ! If you have none as a pattern to copy then maybe not so easy ! If it's a tractor your planning on keeping then it'd definitely worth putting the assist on your arm will thank you !

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.
