[Cub Cadet 123]

Greetings! Glad you are enjoying your 100 and looking forward to making it more useful. We always like hearing when a cub is sent to do the work that a deere just can't. First, the subframe of your blade is really for a quick attach (QA), which is not on your 100. Your 100 takes the bolt on subframe. You could modify your subframe by cutting off those posts that go toward the inside or you could advertise in the Trading Post section of the forum for the correct subframe. Next, you will need a lift paddle/bracket for your lift arm on your cub cadet. There are two types, the earlier type has a bottom hole that requires you to remove your foot rest on the driver's RHS to slide it on and then it U-bolts to your armstrong lift arm and the later version has a slotted groove that does not require you to remove the foot rest. It slides over the foot rest post and then a bolt is used to secure it. Likewise, it too U-bolts to the armstrong lift arm. Last, you will need a lift bar that goes from this paddle to the lift bracket on your blade A-frame. You can advertise in the Trading Post (Wanted) section of the forum for this item or you can make your own out of 1/2" stock. If you choose to make your own, mount the blade on your cub and the lift bracket. Place the Armstrong handle in the forward position, then measure from the center of the large hole on your lift bracket to the center of the hole on your lift bracket on the A-frame of your blade. Use some heat and a vice to bend your stock to your measurements, leaving about 1"-1 1/4" extra beyond the each bend. Drill a small hole on each end to use a pin to hold the lift bar in place and you are good to go.

The feet/shoes are available (and so are the lift brackets, lift bars...) are available from our sponsors. I'm sure others can provide better assistance than I have if you need anything further. I have some pictures of some of this, but I have a meeting to go to now.....sorry.
