Cable Lift instead of Lift Rod Picture
Here is a quick picture of a cable lift to replace a lift rod on my 149 with a QA42A snowblower. The space between the lift arm and the mounting bracket in the front was too small for a lift rod, so this is what I came up with for under $4.

Cub Cadet 123 told me about this setup when I first got my QA42A...It really does work great, and is much cheaper/easier than making a lift bar!

I think i would but a bushing in the holes for the cable to go through that way you don't ruin the lift arms. Just my $.02

Last winter I used a cable on a dozer blade and cut the cable in short order. I would also recommend the grommet if not the rod. I suppose the blade had more vertical movement than a thrower.

I put this together with some stuff I had around the house when I started plowing with my 125. It is 1/4 aircraft cable. I attached to the blade and lift with shackles so I could remove it quickly. It is much better for pushing snow that the rod could ever be. It always floats.

I've only used it for my throwers and not for my blades since I always seem to have a rod lying around for them. I'll have to give it a try since it does seem like it would float a little better.
The bad/good news is that a day after posting this, I discovered that the 149 (pictured) is going to need a new piston and rings and maybe a bore job. There is just too much slop in it and too much oil in the head after removal to inspect the head gasket. Well, it will run better than ever since I've had it when it's done! Cub Cadet 123

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.
