Ok guys, how about this? Came up with another idea that I think is quick, prevents the dragging, and only takes less than a minute to perform. Took the 2x6, laid it horizontally back of the rear tires. Backed over it until the deck started dragging. It is not the spindle bolt that is catching, but a small bolt head on the under side of the deck. (See pics)

As you probably already know, when the deck is in the highest level, you can still PHYSICALLY grab and raise it another inch or 1½". Took a "rope ratchet", available from Lowe's about $8, ran it from l to r and pulled it to maximum height. (See pics) Ran over the board number of times and it didn't drag. Haven't tried the loading/unloading process on the truck, but I think this will work.

Open to any/all thoughts!

I think that will cure your problem . Nice to think outside of the box sometimes.

One more thing....DO NOT trust those tailgate straps!! They aren't made to support that much weight. Take the tailgate off and set your ramps directly on the truck bed.

The right side deck wheel hangs up on my trailer hinge line so I carry a piece of thin plywood that I put down on the hinge and the wheel rolls right over it. Makes loading/unloading a breeze. Also found out that the wheel chocks that I use to haul my motorcycles work great to hold the front wheels of the LT.

Just added a couple of pictures to show what I was talking about.

oldman2u, on the bolt head that is catching, could this be changed to a 'stove' bolt'? Much shorter and rounded, so it would slide over instead of catching. I had problems with the same situation and I just lengthened my ramps about 18". No problems now.

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.
