Has anyone put an electric actuator on a 100 attatched to the handle???
Ok so the title says it all. Here is what i'm wanting to do. Put a 4" electric actuator attatched to the lift handle. So i'm thinking mount it about 6" up on the handle. So then I can push the button on the top of the handle to put it in float mode and control the up and down motion with the actuator. What do you think. Surely someone has done something similar to this.

I'm not the most mechanically inclined individual, but I don't understand how you expect it to float with an acutator attached to it. Could you explain how you plan to accomplish this? Thanks.
Is there a reason why you don't want to just go full electric and change out the rockshaft? Cub Cadet 123

If the button is pressed down the actuator can move the arm. The arms I am using for my sleeve hitch will be slotted allowing the blade to float even though the actuator will not be moving.
What is this rockshaft you speak of? Full electric sounds awesome to me. Brent

The correct rockshaft for an electric lift doesn't have a handle, but a bracket that the actuator attaches to. Implements are then attached to this rockshaft via the bracket and the actuator, when employed "rocks" this shaft to lift or lower the equipment. Our sponsors usually have one of these rockshafts available and will allow you to correctly put this option on your cub to function as it should.

You can use your rockshaft and attach just the bracket after having cut it appropriately, but I have found that it is best just to replace your existing rockshaft with the correct one. The picture included has the rockshaft at the top and you can see the bracket on the LHS of the rockshaft.

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.
