i've only had my 42 on my 125 once, just to move it into the shop, and even with the spring assist it was still a 2-hand lift. definitely heavy.

If I can ever finish removing and replacing a chunk of the slab in my garage (huge cracks always losing bolts and such down them) I am going to be fabbing up my own electric lift for my 104. I think I have a plan. That will work. I'll be using a 4" stroke 1000lb dynamic 2000 lb static linear actuator. The modern actuators are much faster than the old one that came on the 147. I'd say this one I'd about half way between the stock 147 electric lift and any older hydro lift tractor.

I have a 126 that I bought in which a PO made a modification and hooked up a winch to lift the blade. You can buy a cheap winch for about $40 at Harbor Freight an it would be strong enough to lift you snow blower.

Nope. I installed mine just fine from under neath where it connects to the rock shaft and then on the rear where it connects to the frame.

Spring assists are the shizzle. They make life so much easier and normally people don't even know they are there.

I converted my 127 to hydro lift. Took some time to everything right. But well worth it

I just put a hydro on my 107, bolted right up and pulley matched perfectly. I had an electric lift before this is much better.

The 107 and 127 are a direct bolt on. The 147 is quite a bit different.

My 147's have electric lifts and I don't care for them very well, they are kinda slow and I don't think they would last very long lifting anything very heavy. If I were going to lift a tiller or blower, I would definitely add a spring assist (or two) and be seriously hunting a hydraulic lift.

I have added a hydraulic lift to one of my 70's my 100, one of my 122's and to my 128, I have all the parts needed to do 3 Wide Frame tractors. I'm just getting too old and broken down to be lifting that heavy "stuff" by hand...

I don't think that the 147 frames have the holes to mount the Narrow Frame style Hydraulic Lift, so you will have to drill them yourself (not all that hard).

I do know that the electric lift rockshafts and the hydraulic rockshafts are different, so that will need to be changed or modified (I believe that just the upper bracket needs to be changed).

Not trying to step on any toes, but I believe that if you use a Wide Frame 14 hp flywheel screen, no other modifications will need to be made to finish your installation.

Not a simple bolt on application, but a 147 with a hydraulic lift would be a real Gem to have in your stable!

Resurrecting this thread- I know I previously stated that I'd stick with an armstrong/spring assist lift, but I'd sort of like a hydraulic lift on my ole 147 too. I've been searching for posts on what that looks like (one of the external NF ones) - I saw a previous post about it being somewhat a PITA- no pics though. I don't have an E lift on mine and don't have an interest in putting one back on.

Furthermore, what controls the depth on those? I know on my manual lift there is a stop bracket- does that still work with the hydraulic lift? Does the pump and cylinder interfere with the adjustment nut?

Thanks

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.
