Default NF front blade wont hit the ground

I put the front blade on the 105 this morning, and am wondering if I have the wrong lift rod. The blade sits 1/2" off the ground with the lift lever all of the way forward. What do you think:

Id go buy some steel rod and make a new one, if you do you should put a 1" board under the front tires and set the plow on the ground to get the length.

Remove that lift stop. Those are for the mower deck usually. I removed mine on my 71, and the blade touched the ground fine!



edit: That lift bracket on the blade is for another Cub Cadet dozer blade. Its unusual to only have one hole in the lift lever bracket as well.

Question

My bet is on the lift stop, as I suggested. The slotted lift bracket on the blade frame is a sub frame float capability. I cant say for sure that slotted bracket is totally wrong.

Mork calling Olson, come in!

Here's my front blade on my former 122

Works great and goes below level with the stop in place.

Thanks for all of the replies. Its hard to see in the pictures, but I turned the lift stop all of the way around, so it is not contacting. I actually took it off for a test as well.

Jeff, my lift handle is way far forward compared to yours, and is still lifted

Darkminion, thanks for that info. I'm new, and had another question. Why do they call you Lew? I have seen this all over the forums

Would anyone happen to know if these brackets are still available? If not I'll either post up on wanted, or weld up an adapter.

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.
