Need to fabricate a lift assist for rear tiller
I have a 129 CC with a 1 rear mounted tiller which use to cultivate mostly grass weeds (early) between my row crops. It has worked well in the past when my right shoulder could with just a little exertion to the lift arm to pull the tiller up to disengage...not now...83 8/12th years=rotator cuff prob+minor arthritis can in no way use the lift handle. I was able to obtain a lift arm assist arm but unfortunately I think it is for a narrow frame such as a 127 etc. With help we could attach the rear bracket and pass the spring and connector rod toward the left side of the lift arm assembly and connected it to the down sided mounting clip used for the mower deck cradle. Tragically, the lift handle and the spring assembly are working against one another. Sorry if my terminology is a bit vague but bear with me.
1. At this point, I am thinking to disregard assembling any lift arm assists (spring/manual, electrical or hydraulic) on the left side of the chassis and connect a spring directly to or near the base of the lift arm and position the rear mounting bracket with the tension-er bolt to the rear so that when I lower the Tiller it will stretch out the spring by is weight (push lift handle forward). then when i want to lift the tiller, the recoil of the spring will assist the lift, gently, I hope. 2. I am still a bit leery about the manual..so have anyone done a "do it your self " fabrication such as using an auto power steering pump or ??. Would greatly appreciate comments, suggestions of directions. The garden is about 1.5 acre and our rows are about 500 feet. i used to walk behind till but gave it up a few years back as age crept up. the garden is for church kitchen, food bank and fat people like me. God Bless..stay well..enjoy life not just tolerate it.  I will try to attach a few pictures. first picture...Tractor I am talking about. second picture...spring assembly which i obtained..but sure is not for 129 third picture....were able to mount and pass assembly forward and attached to down clip from the lift arm. to rear and pass .

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.
