Rpalmer, What did you mean when you asked whether Cvcman needed the spring "independent" or is a 3pt used? I thought the spring assist took pressure from the rockshaft that controls both or is it different on a nf? Am I missing something here or do I just not understand? I've been known to be confused before.

Cvcman, When you're done with your research I hope you post the results. I have been thinking of doing the same thing, maybe with a clutch spring. I have several hood springs if they prove to be good for the job.

I don't believe a hood spring will be strong enough.. if you check out a Western or Meyers style pickup truck plow, those springs are more the strength... prob is I have a feeling they will be too large diameter to fit in the tunnel.

There are two types of spring assists for both the narrow and wide frames. I believe, and I may be wrong, that one is a Brinly and the other is Cub Cadet.

One attaches to the lift bar on the right side of the tractor. The other attaches to the left side and does not require the lift bar from a 3 point hitch. Both attach to the rock shaft and ease the amount of force to lift using the lift arm.

The brinly spring assist that attaches to the 3-point is only for the narrowframe tractors.

RPalmer, Thanks for clearing that up. I didn't know Brinly made a spring assist. Spring assists are just part of my plans of things I want for a few of my cubs. I hope we get some good pics on this project of Cvcmans.
Thanks again, Wayne

jamesm,

Is that a Brinly spring or a Cub Cadet spring?



Am I mistaken or did some of the snow blowers come with springs on the blower, to help lift the unit?


Mountain Heritage,

Would you tell me more about the "press wheel springs" from "other color" tractor dealers?

This is for a cub cadet spring. My son has a snow blower that has a spring that connects from the blower to the tractor frame at the front. It looks like a factory part.

jamesm,

So the spring you're talking about is "part of" the snow blower, it isn't a three point or implement assist spring. Is this correct?

Hey how's it going guys!!!!

Speaking of a Lift Spring Assist, I've been looking into making one myself for my OL' Girl. But I'm just like you guys, I really don't know what would be the proper spring to use for this type of use and what all I would need to make it work properly. A complete Lift Spring Assist assembly is really hard to come by for the Originals. Anyone have any ideas how to make one for the Originals????

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.
