Default Came up with a lift idea. What are your thoughts.

Well I was thinking about this today while in safety training for work (5th time ive taken the OSHA 10) What if you did the following

What if I made a small bracket that bolted onto the top 2 bolts on the rear dif cover and connected a actuator from there to the brinly adapter. You would have to use non floating lift straps but what should happen is the actuator moves up and that pushes the top link up by the lift straps. That in turn would move the link between the top link and the lift arm. You would just have to put the lift arm in float mode. That would also make it so it could lift and lower front implements.

It was just a day dream brain storm so maybe you guys could let me know if this would work or not. Here are a couple pictures showing what I mean.

Red line would be where the bracket would go, blue line would be the actuator.


Blue line on this is the actuator. I am assuming i could weld a flat bar connecting the lift tab to the two arms of the adapter to mount a bracket to on this side.

I’m playing with the idea of using a small electric winch mounted at the rear of the tractor with the cable running forward to the lift handle. The winch would pull the handle back to lift the rear attachments. Only in the thinking stage at this point but Harbor Freight has a 2000 lb winch on sale for around $60.00

the winch would have to pull the bottom of the handle forward to move the attachments up. You would need it in front of the rockshaft or run a pulley and go past the rockshaft and come back to it and connect it.

Last time I checked you pull the lift handle back to raise the deck.

yes you pull the lift handle, which makes the bottom of the lift handle move towards the front of the tractor, if you pull on the lift handle from underneath the tractor its going to push the top of the handle forward.

Whats going to happen when you pull on the blue line shown in this picture smart guys. Thats the only way i can see a winch being mounted under the tractor moving the lift arm.

makes sense, I just can't figure out how that would be routed to work. There isn't much room

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.
