Sorry I can't help. The unit I used was not slotted.

Thanks for the input, knowledge, and the show'n tell pic's!

When installing the actuator brackets did you do so with the actuator at 1/2 mast so to speak?

I'm guessing, blade and triangular mount at right angles (90 degrees) when positioning your brackets?

1st Cub, only had the plow a month. It is a real pain having to get off 'n on the Cub to angle the plow. And, the engine shuts down when up off the seat.

It should continue to run if you set the parking brake.

I'd love to do a power angle. I'm not that creative, so I'd need to know what model actuator or cylinder would work and a little help making the bracket.

I wonder if a manual angle could be added? The old Sears snow blade has two rods. One you step on, which unlocks the blade. The push-pull rod actually angles the blade. It works amazing. The trick would be how to release the blade lock with a push/pull rod?

Zimm17,

These pictures are not the best and I don't have good access to the blade etc. right now. The conduit shown here is connected to the blade.

A cable is attached to the locking pin, ran up through an eye bolt and over to a bracket (4 inches or so long) attached to the bottom of the conduit.
It’s hard to see the bracket in this picture. You can see the discoloration on the conduit where the bracket was attached.

To change the blade angle you rotate the conduit, this pulls the pin up, unlocking the blade.
Then you just push or pull on the conduit to set the desired blade angle. Works good.


Good luck,

Ike

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.
