The finished product, well almost RESCUE11 and I still need to make a bar long enough. It came out great. Also installed a oil pressure gauge and relocated my hour meeter to the right side under hood.

Im having the bracket on the blade for the rod fabricated and enlarged by 2" both in height and length. This will help the blaxe height since the subframe is longer than the original. Hope to get a cew more inches of travel out of the blade once installed. Right now we are only getting like 6" from the blade to groung . Would like a little. More.

Great job! I sure wish my blade lifted a little higher. It only lifts 3" from the ground.

I figured it should lift it a little higher. When I had the blade on my 100, it lifted it a lot higher.

I've noticed the newer hydro lift setups don't lift near as high as the older narrow frames or their manual lift sisters. That's the main reason I don't use hydro lifts

If you ever look at the hydraulic cylinders on an 82 series and newer versus the quiet lines and older, the lift cylinders are different. 82 series and newer have a 3 inch stroke by approximately 2.5" bore. Quiet lines and older have a 6 inch stroke and approximately 1.25" bore. Obviously the cylinder with the largest bore will have the most lifting power if placed under the same hydraulic pressure, mechanical advantage, etc... Uppers feel free to critique this, but I believe Cub Cadet used a larger bore cylinder with a shorter stroke to allow the cylinder to be mounted lower in the frame for various reasons. This being said, the closer the working end of the cylinder is to the rock shaft the less leverage it has. Thus the larger bore is needed to overcome the decreased mechanical advantage. I have to cautiously assume the reason for the shortened stroke on the large bore cylinder is due to a law in physics as well. Newtons Third law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to that of the first body. The closer the working end of the cylinder to the rock shaft, the further the travel of the working end of the rock shaft, i.e. deck lift and cam lift for blowers, blades, etc.... Again, making a guess, Cub Cadet did not lengthen the stroke of the cylinder due to either useable space inside of the frame or they were satisfied with the lifting travel. Sow any way that is my

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.
