Default NF Blade Sub Frame Problem
Hi everyone,

I am having an issue attaching my plow subframe to my model 70. I have it correctly positioned outside the footrest brackets at the rear but when I try to lift the front it hits the axle long before it is high enough for the bolt holes to line up. I have been searching the forums and have seen numerous photos and my subframe is definitely the correct one and doesn't appear bent or twisted enough to cause a problem. Anyone else that has had or is aware of this problem that could weigh in would be great. Or anyone with a picture of the clearance between the front axle and the subframe would be appreciated. Is it supposed to touch? I can try to post a picture or two of the problem but in the meantime any help would be nice. Thanks.

I've seen that before. There are brackets that bolt to the subframe to lower it.

I can make them if you run into problems. I will need dimensions though.

Like Lewis said get a front mule drive and use that. Much stronger then the lift arms.

I have a subframe with that has been welded and cut to fit the mule drive to adapt a snow plow onto a NF 126. Is this what you are talking about or are you talking about attaching the subframe to the muledrive using bolts? Let me know if you need pics of what I have and I will set you up with them. I didn't do it, it was on my 126 when I received it.

I'd be interested in seeing that mod if it's not too much trouble. Thanks.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
