Bought an E lift
Recently I bought an electric lift actuator for my 147. I knew these were somewhat troublesome and parts weren't cheap but I figured if the price was right I'd jump on it and see if I couldn't make it work. I hooked the motor to a battery and I could hear the motor turning and gears jumping but it never extended. I did some more research on it and found that normally the bearings take a dump then the spiroid gear strips out. The spiroid gear itself is about $100 and the pinion gear about the same.
I pulled the motor assembly off tonight and peered down into the hole to inspect the spiroid gear- looks OK. (plus it's only about the size of a half dollar.) What I'm not sure about is the pinion worm gear- I compared the amount of threads to a pic of a new one and they match up, but it looks to me like it's borderline junk and salvageable. It didn't have a bushing(or does it use a bearing?) on the bottom of the unit for the pinion gear to ride in so that my have helped it. I couldn't find any metal shavings either. Do you think the pinion gear is still ok?

FYI - That unit was made by a company called Duff-Norton. It is similar to their MDP6405. If you need a Parts & Service manual, I can send you one.

The Chassis Service Manual for the 147 (GSS-1404) has a section (pages 2-76 to 2-82) on troubleshooting, maintenance, disassembly, etc. that may help you....

Need opinions
Currently I have an armstrong (manual) lift on the 147. I am seeking advice on what to do with the E lift, and when to use it.
Keep in mind I mow, push a snow blade, occasionally (rarely anymore) lift a tiller, and a 10" plow. I have a spring assist so that will help alleviate the stress and keep the longevity of the unit. I was thinking about putting the e lift on for the summer (mowing) and put the armstrong lift back on in the winter for plowing snow, or if I decide to go to go (dirt) plowing put it back on then. What is keeping me from putting the E lift on and leaving it is knowing the cost of the replacement parts and making it work 'too much' moving snow and dirt. (also, won't I lose some of the height of the snow blade with modifying the lift bracket to fit the E lift, and can I still get the same full range of depth with dirt plowing?) Or do I say to heck with the manual lift lever, run the E lift and if it breaks it breaks, fix it? Thanks

My wifes uncle was an engineer for Duff-Norton. I think they're still in business. It would be a stretch to think they still support these but you never know.

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.
