Rear lift
 

Does anyone have a picture or explanation of where the rear lift mounts on a 122? I just took a walk back to my shed to check it out and I am quite puzzled. Am I missing a bracket? Thanks again. Jeff

Any pics of what you have so far? We love pictures around here.
:TTWWP:

I will take a few pics and post them.

But for the record, i can use the rear lift for moldboard plow, and disc harrow on my 122?

(continued from page 2)....

and so you can hopefully find some assistance with this picture that is available in the Technical Section in the library of the forum.

Both of these parts that are pictured are needed for the moldboard plow and disc harrow.


Cub Cadet 123

Yes please post some pics. Hopefully you have the correct NF lift and all it's pieces

And you should probably keep an eye out for a spring assist set-up also.

Oh I'm seeing that you have the hydraulic lift option as well so no spring assist needed

The extra washers next to the lift bar are not used. This was a failed attempt to use both the IH spring assist ( left side ) and the Brinly spring assist ( right side ) at the same time. There isn't enough room on a 125 ( hydro ) for the Brinly spring assist. You CAN use both on a 122 ( gear drive )

and the bracket underneath that the lift bar attaches to

Thanks everyone. Yes, CC123, I have all those parts. The lift assembly is for a NF. And the picture from Jeff tells me I have to remove a plate before I can install the lift parts. I will take a look again and take some pictures as well.

And what are the applications for using the draft plate? Or should I ask what are the pros and cons or necessities for using the draft plate?

Are you talking about the rear plate that has the IH sticker on it? You can leave that on

Yes. I see there is a cut out in that plate that I thought would accommodate the lift pin's movement. But will have to take it off to put all the parts in? I was going to go take another look, but it is way too cold and windy.

Yes, the plate has to come off. It's 5/16-18NC bolts and requires a 1/2" wrench /socket. You'll probably have to remove one wheel too ( 7/16-20NF and uses a 5/8" socket )

Is the lift bar attachment already installed? ( the picture from underneath with the two 5/16-18NC bolts with arrows ). I had manual lift on my former 122 and it was a real :censored: to install that plate. By contrast, the plate on the 125 just slide right in from the back :bigthink:

No, none of the lift parts are on the 122. I'd start to look at it, but it's quite frigid out there. If I could fit it in my basement/work shop, I would. Can't wait to get into it. Take a wheel off? Why?

The 1/2" pin that the casting pivots on.

See the larger holes in the fenders? That where the pin goes thru to go in the casting.

Yes, I see that now. Can't wait to get started.

No Alvy. I'm referring to the plate that goes on the sleeve hitch before you attach an implement. It keeps the implement from drifting side to side when you tighten up the bolts.

As far as the tin plate is concerned, is it the same one that is mounted on a 125? If so, then it can be re installed and will work, as on Dad's 125 he has a rear lift and it works with the tin plate with the IH decal.

Yes, the tin will be able to be reinstalled and will clear. The tin mounting is identical between the 122 and the 125. The only difference is the mounting holes for the optional rear light.

I understand about the tin plate. But I'm referring to the draft plate that goes on the sleeve hitch before you attach an implement. It keeps the implement from drifting side to side when you tighten up the bolts. Any pros and cons on that?

Here you go. You're missing some of the pieces like the lower bracket and sleeve hitch adapter. Jeff and others make them

http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=20875

Actually, I have everything I need. Sleeve hitch adapter, lift assembly, etc. But there is a draft plate that I've seen. I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on using it.

If you're talking about the bent disk with the hole in it... I don't even own one. All but one of my implements are wide enough where they attach to the sleeve hitch adapter that the jam bolts work just fine without it. Right, wrong or otherwise, depending on the implement and what I'm doing with it, I don't snug up the bolts either.

Thanks Sam. It didn't seem to have any purpose. And I was also wondering if the jam bolts were supposed to be tight. I would think the implement should have some play so you don't bend and break things.

So when installing the lower hitch link, will I lose any rear end oil when I remove the bolts? Can I reinstall the fixed draw bar over the lower hitch link? If so, how long do the new bolts have to be?
