Did I read somewhere that the snow blade trip spring was the same as the spring assist spring? No? Trip springs are available...

Got the spring in the mail. Looks great and hoping to get sometime soon to put this all together.

The one that Jeff linked from ebay. I saw a few others up there cheap to. Might be worth grabbing another for my other tractors. It should work like a charm :-)

I recommended this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cub-Cadet-21...p2047675.l2557
I either had or have one on my non hydraulic lift 125 ( or the 122 I sold ). It seems to be the same strength as the factory IH spring assist but has a 3/8" bolt instead of a 1/2" bolt for tension. |

The rear bracket should be pretty easy, just a small piece of angle cut to size. I plan to use some round stock for the rod and will bend it on my buddies hydraulic press. Gonna weld a small tab on the rod that will attach to the spring. Other side of the rod I think I might look into getting a rod end of some type to thread on but have to mess around with that some. As for the final bracket again some stock that my buddy has in his shop. I really think we can knock this out pretty easy and should cost around $35 - $40.

The O.D. on these springs is the critical part as there is not a whole lot of clearance where it has to live. Also, the one pictured only has a 3/8 female thread whereas the Cub springs have a 1/2" thread. I didn't see an O.D. listed in the ad.
If you bend the rods to the original length and configuration, the correct length of the spring also comes into play, but a longer threaded rod would correct that situation. I made up a few of the bent rods and U brackets for my own use in anticipation of finding the proper size and tension springs. |

Looks like the overall length of the rod including the bends is about 16.25", straight line.
I used an original rod and welded up a temporary jig on the welding table to get the bends the same and the placement of the holes correct, then made the bends, using a length of 1/2" round, leaving a little extra on each end so I could trim to fit. The bends (approx. 155*), are centered 3" in from the center of the holes which I made at 5/16" maybe a little more. The straight line between the holes is approx. 9.5" I cut some small pieces of 3/8" x 3/4" flat into 3/4" squares for the ends and welded them to the bent rod after adjusting the length to match the original using the jig as a guide for pacing them. Drill the holes in these pieces before cutting. If you could visualize drawing a straight line thru the center of the holes, from this line to the upper side of the long part of the 1/2 round is approx. 1-5/8". I hope this is understandable!! |

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.
