Default 1772 lift problem

It seems (and I am not sure why or what changed becaused everything was working fine) that my lift lever is now hitting the upper edge of the opening in the dash not allowing the linkage enough travel to push the valve in to move the cylinder. I tried to move the valve up on the steering column but it really did not move too much. It seemed to be limited by the solid lines going down to the steering box not sure if they should move up or not. I diconnected the linkage and pushed the valve in to see if lift would move to rule out other problems and it moved fine. The only thing I discovered was the nuts that hold the lever bracket to the side of the tractor were not real tight so I tried to realign to get more travel but was unable to do so. I need help plow day is coming up.

Any chance the whole steering column dropped down? Maybe the lever twisted or it's worn?

Loosen the U-Bolts on the valve spool base and slide the unit up. I'm sure that is your problem. Yeah, it will move hard, and you'll really have to pull because of the steel lines, but it will move. Good news is it really won't have to move much to make a big difference.

Can you get a jack under the valve?

Make sure your holes in the lift lever are not "wallered out" causing lever slop too.

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.
