Thank you, that is a very thorough description of the situation. I am assuming the "Armstrong" lift arm you mention is the lever with the release button on top of it? (Not familiar with the terminology, thanks for understanding).
The gentleman on cub classics suggested rigging a cable as the lift mechanism. I'll be looking into that but will be trying to find the right parts first. I'd like to keep this as original as possible.
Obviously I have to replace the seat as it's about as unoriginal as one can get. I think dad may have gotten that off one of his many pieces of construction equipment and just bolted it on.. Lol. It warbles like crazy though even with everything as tight as it will go. A tricky ride. I see there are a number of seats available, shouldn't be too much of a challenge.
