Default 149 Lift Problem?

Hi guys, I have a 149 with a 42" plow, and it won't lift the plow more than about an inch. I can clearly see the piston has full movement range. Any ideas?

Did you check for broken spirol pins in the rockshaft?

Is your lift rod the correct length?

There may be welds instead of spirol pins ( I have narrow frames myself ) but you should get more lift.

They can appear intact when in fact they are sheared.

A picture or video of the moving parts involved would be helpful.

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.
