Default Lift conversion
Has anyone here ever put an IH hydraulic lift on a 147 that had been equipped with an electric lift? If so, could you explain your method and how the job turned out? I had sent my electric lift out for rebuild, but it never made it home. I hate to convert it, but other than a manual lift, I don't have any other ideas. Thanks you.

Buy a new actuator. I made my own electric lift for my 104 and it works great.

Excuse the dirty deck

As reliable as the e lifts are (from what I've read), and how much $$ the hydro. lifts are plus how much mods. on a 147 frame are required to instal, my $$ is on putting in a manual lever lift. They work fine, especially with a spring assist IMO.

The old actuators are not reliable and are slow. Mine I can have the 42" blade on the front and stand on the sleeve hitch and it will lift me and the blade up without straining and no change in lift speed.

Really glad this post started because I was looking these up the other night and wanted to get an idea how much power they draw. Are you just connecting to the battery direct? I also wanted to add a winch but not sure if I would need a more powerful s/g and/or a battery with high amperage to handle the draw.

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.
