Lift Rod
This subject comes up frequently. Here is how to calculate and fabricate a Implement Lift Rod.
* Get two pieces of dimensional lumber (ie: 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, etc) long enough to extend the wheel base of your tractor. * Place these pieces of lumber on the floor and run the tractor up on them. This now raises your tractor up off the floor 1-1/2". * Place the front blade down on the floor (not on the lumber). This allows the blade to be lowered 1-1/2" below grade. * Place the Lift Lever from the tractor all the way forward. * Now measure the distance between the Lift Bracket on the front blade to the connection point on the tractor Lift Lever. * This is the "length" of the lift rod needed for your application. The lift rod can be made from several materials (1/2" solid rod, Pipe, Square Tubing, etc) You can heat and bend the solid rod to length, thread and place adapters on each end, or drill holes in the square tubing and use clevis pins. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
