I looked at it a little closer this morning, and part of that homemade lift bracket is actually that original white lift bracket that you have. I think I'll just remove one of the bolts and use it as it is.

Yeah, I just fought with it for another hour trying to get it into place, plenty of bad words and slamming stuff around in the garage haha.

The metal brackets are a copy of the original pieces IH made. The slip into the forward hole and are held in place by a 1/2-13NC bolt. This way you don't have to struggle with a nut, bolt and washer. Jeff |

So the upper bracket with 7 sets of holes is bolted to the frame and is slotted for the lift handle to move in. You have to hold the handle with one hand and move the pin with the other hand to get it to stay where you want it?
While I'm sure this apparatus worked very well for the job that it was designed to do, if I am seeing this correctly, that is going to be way too much work when trying to move snow... Surely someone in Pennsylvania will sell you a nice Narrow Frame lift handle/rock shaft assembly for a reasonable price (then you can sell the electric lift rockshaft to recoup your money) make sure you get the ratchet for it also. You will need part #6 with parts #1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 already installed, and parts #8 and 9. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=c...&dn=0019300024 For the spring assist that you have heard about... http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=c...&dn=0123100001 And finally the lift paddle, parts #3 and 4. http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=c...&dn=0126100002 With the exception of lifting the front of the tractor high enough to get the lift handle under and up into place, installing one is very simple and doesn't take much time at all. Presently, I am too old and broken down to use the Armstrong method for lifting a snow thrower. Even when I was young and healthy, I would never attempt to use the present set-up that you now have. If you never trust me on anything that may come along in the future, you will want to trust me on this. Short of finding a hydraulic lift for your 147, getting the parts that I have outlined above will be the difference between having fun while clearing your drive of snow and doing a lousy, miserable task that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. End of lecture.

If it helps I do have various shots of a snow thrower installed on our 147R. Those are one here somewhere. I do have the electric lift that functions well to lift the throwre. Although I have never thrown a flake of snow with it. Yes they are heavy and you will have to bring your Cub back closer to original either with the Cub manual lift or Cub electric, or a custom hydraulic system that may be a challenge , ( at least it would be for me)
The pictures helped a lot! Regards, Chris

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.
