On the 1572 it doesn't appear to have a hole in the internal Rockshaft arm to use the lockout pin like the older wide frames where you could get both push and pull by inserting the lock out pin. With the 1572 having a free floating Rockshaft, it doesn't pull backwards which is needed to lift my snowblower.
QUESTION: Is there a way to Lock Out the 1572 Rockshaft arms so I get both push and pull?

There is a way to lock out the rockshaft arms. Remove the tunnel cover and you will see a nut welded to the rockshaft arm where the Hyd cyl arm pushes against the rockshaft. It takes a 3/4 uss thread bolt to bolt the two together to lock it out.
