Restoring old (anything) costs more than the original purchase price. As has been pointed out, it's a bargain in the long term.
The Armstrong lift is works well, and isn't a bother to use. If the rest of the tractor works well, the fact that the electric lift is doa is a minor issue, really.

Remove the motor from the lift and test it by itself.
I had the same issue with my 149 and took the motor to a repair guy in Cedar Rapids and had it back in a few days for around $50 IIRC. These things stick right out there in all the elements if left outside and we all know water and electrical stuff don't play well together.

I don’t really want a aftermarket one I’d like to keep it original as possible. I haven’t had time to really work on it much besides checking power at the plug. I know the headlights aren’t hooked up which I intend to do the light switch still moves so that’s a plus and there is a wire missing from the regulator I believe it’s there in the mess of headlight wires and it always is discharging. I got the lift to work momentarily when I first got it home by jiggling the wires that go into the cylinder but I went out the next day to mess with it more and it wouldn’t move. I’d be ok with finding someone who could rebuild it but idk were to start looking.

I've never had a CC electric lift apart before, but generally 1960's vintage motors aren't that difficult to rebuild. A diy brush and bearing replacement might just get you another 50 years of service.

When I first got my 127, the lift was very slow and worked intermittently. I took it apart, drained out the water, changed the grease in the worm gear/clutch area, brushed out the rust in the windings, flattened the brushes, cleaned the commutator bar, and gobbed some silicon around where wires go in. That was 5 years ago. It still works great lifting a qa36 snow thrower all winter long with no assistance. I would give cleaning it up yourself a try, what is the worst that can happen if it already doesn't work.

My 147 electric lift also worked intermittently. Cleaned worked better. Then the switch gave me problems. Needed it now so I bought just a switch locally,works but sometimes doesnt. I'm new to repairs for the lift so I'm just reading and trying. Bought a 149 with hydraulic lift that needs started. Busy with house repairs.

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.
