Default CCO rear lift casting measurement question.

Hi guys! I've been messing with the idea of making a lift setup for my Original and made these from pictures off the internet. Now, I'm not sure the measurements are exact, as I figured all the measurements from nothing but pictures. #2A is the one I'm most concerned about, the rest I could probably figure by fitting on the tractor if I had to. If anyone could cross check my measurements I would really appreciate it, thanks!

I decided to proceed with the calculations I made, I only ended up adjusting a few, so I had it pretty close. I started by making the top U bracket and the lift bar. The best I could tell the lift bar has a 30° bend that the belly almost touches the gear reduction housing at full lift. The U bracket is 2 1/2" x 3/8" steel. Next I bored a 1" hole in a 4 1/2" long piece of 1 1/2" round stock on the lathe. Then I cut two slugs of 1 1/2" stock to weld to the tube. After welding them on I cut the ends off so the tube is centered. Next I forged the upper arm. More in the next post.

Next I cut off and welded the upper forging on. Then I made some templates for the two plates for the support rib and cut them out. After that I welded everything up and cleaned it up. Finally I bored all the pivot holes out to 3/4" and made the pivot spacers on the lathe. It isn't a perfect copy, but it came out pretty decent. The only thing left is a pin and the lower U bracket.

That looks great, thanks for the upload.
I like looking at what others have done and fabricating things for my cubs.

If the History Channel's program "Forged In Fire" concocted anything other than knives and swords, you could be a sure $10,000 winner.
Nice job!

Great job Ben, that piece looks great. With a forge like that do you make other things too? If so, please post some pics up. I like seeing stuff like that.

Forging is definitely an art from the past. I'll bet you have some interesting items around the shop that you've created!

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.
