Default Cub lift ???

As I get older I realize I need to work smarter not harder. I'd be interested in seeing what you all have to get your Cubs up off the floor to a better working height. Lift tables, ramps, whatever. I'd like to build or buy something that would save my back while doing work on the tractors. Thanks for your ideas! Stan

Cub Crazy found a surplus yard a couple years ago selling some air powered lifts that came out of the York PA Harley factory. We both bought one. Extended the ends about 18". It will lift a Super with a 60 Haban with no strain. Link to the company that made it. http://www.advancelifts.com/

John

Your lift is way more expensive than my lift and I can work inside with my lift.

Sam - your lift would be about what I had in mind. What are the table dimensions after your welded modifications? I see Harbor Freight has a motorcycle lift for $500 with coupon its around $300 but the table is only 30" wide.

Seems like I saw a post here quite a while back that showed someone's homemade drive on table. Basically a big box with ramps to get up on it, but I couldn't find the post.

I've got a Harbor Freight ceiling mounted electric cable hoist. Simple and cheap in price. I can stand the super strait up without an issue. I lifted the whole Original up to put it on a table.
Then while it's up, pull up your favorite chair and work on anything on the bottom in wide oped comfort.

Ditto here. Same deal. Same results. Does what I need it to do.

Google motorcycle lift tables and ATV lift tables. For what it's worth I had a Harbor Freight lift and it wouldn't handle a Cub. It was OK for a bike.

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.
