Default Blade On The 782
Jenn and I got the blade on the 782. We might get some snow this week. I noticed, that the blade isn't touching the ground in the down position. It sits an inch higher. Last time the blade was on, it touched the ground. The only things that changed, since the blade was on the last time, is the new front tires and rear lift was added. I also noticed, that the Brinly adapter also isn't going all the way down. Wonder what it could be? Thanks guys!

The blade in the down position.

AC check the height setting knob on the right side of the frame as you are sitting on the tractor.

It looks good. That being said, now that you put the blade on, it's not going to snow, just how it works.

Are the new tires taller than the old ones? Check the height adjustment as Sam Mac suggested too.

This is the first thing I'd check. Otherwise, are your front tires any taller? I wouldn't think that'd make that big of a difference but who knows.

Let the air out of the front tires and it'll be on the ground no problem.

Allen,

Here are some things to check:
1. The cam on the frame that was already mentioned.
2. The lift bar to see if it is bent or catching somehow on one of it's pins.
3. Pull the tunnel cover off and check to make sure that the lift cylinder is actuating all the way or if something is obstructing it's extension.

If all else fails, and you want it to drop (but float) you could use a steel cable or chain in place of your lift rod or go with an adjustable lift rod.

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.
