I thought of mounting a small winch to raise and lower it, but it seems like a pain to find a place to mount one. And I just read this post http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=21534 which shows that the exterior deck level indicator can actually come off and be replaced with an adapter as an outside arm?! Do I have that right?

I used the tractor today with the snowblower attached, and aside from shearing a couple of pins, it works fair enough. To tell the truth I don't have many other choices, I have to maintain our driveway and I don't have a truck with a plow.
Any ideas or leads would be great.
Yep the indicator comes off and you replace it with the arm showen in that thread as long as the Haban blower lift is set up the same as the Cub blower. Post a pic of your existing lift setup.
