Default WF Lift Rod Length
I know this has been asked here a lot, but I can't find any definitive answers.

How long is a lift rod for a WF push blade? I know it's 1/2" diameter.

I've read the write up on how to measure driving up on a 2x4, but I'd prefer to make the rod ahead of time, as the tractor isn't at my house right now.

Thanks for the help and sorry to

Aaron at xteme makes them. It's so simple to make them on your own, if you need help, you should just buy one.

Never said I needed any help making one. Simply looking for the length to save me the trouble of measuring it, since the tractor isn't at my house. If someone has one handy or knows the length off hand. That's all. From searching, I see it's been asked a lot on here, and have yet to see a solid reply.

Jeff makes em too, but I'd prefer to make one myself. Since they are so simple to do.

If any of you went to the link I provided, it gave the specs of the rod...... So, I did answer the question.

Are you in a bad mood today or something? You seem to be extra pissy today. He clearly said in his first post that he was looking for the measurement because the tractor wasn't at his house to measure it himself.

He's always that way. Uncalled for & unnecessary.

I feel I did quite a bit of research, and was confused because I saw a lot of mixed answers. Never found as much detail as you just gave in that single post. I'm sure that will help the next guy or gal that is searching here trying to figure out a number. Even the post detailing how to measure doesn't explain why each may be different. I might suggest adding some of those details to that page as well.

I do appreciate your insight, but hope you understand where my frustration comes from.

Have a good day, and happy Cubbing

I would like to also add to what Jonathan stated, I have several blades around and several lift rods here and there....probably something like 10 or 12, who knows. Out of my assortment, not a single lift rod is straight and I have never checked by I don't even think any two of them are even bent the same way....probably from use/abuse. If you want to "float" you can always use a steel cable, but you sacrifice down force, which maybe what you want, maybe not.

Scot.....look beyond what your eyes can only see. Fences were just mended here and something productive just happened. It may not seem like a whole lot, but to me that is progress in our forum and I am personally grateful to see it happen. Please don't try to undo that. Keep it positive, please. 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.
