Default Speaking of electric lifts, make it float?

Finally got around to swapping the actuator on the 147 but now i need a way to let the implements "float"




As you can see from the pictures the actuator is longer than the original and I couldn't adapt the slotted end from the old system

Any suggestions?

How about a slotted piece of steel welded to the rock shaft? Or a third link to allow it to float?

Just looked at your pics in the other post, I'd just move the front forward.

Relocate the forward mount closer to the SG then you should have room for a slotted connector at the rear.

Maybe you can raise the front of the actuator to clear the tins. I think I’d figure out the attachment point to the rock shaft and then worry about the front end. Let the important end take priority.

I’m working through the same issues with my 71/121, thinking about using a winch to power it.

What attachments are you going to use? You could put put the float on the attachment. It would'nt be right at your fingertips but, would work.

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.
