Rear left casting w/pin, rear bracket, flat bar and pivot for lift handle


Pivot is bolted onto bottom of lift with two 5/16" bolts ( 1/2" wrench ). On my 125 I could slide the assembled flat bar and pivot bracket in as a unit for assembly.

My 122 required each piece to go in seperately and also disassemly of rachet pieces. It was a "real joy" to get the cotter pin in


Bracket for use with blade or snow thrower. Notice cutout for clearance.


Both spring assists available for use with narrow frames. Do even bother trying to fit a brinly spring assist on a hydro. There wasn't enough room between the spring, the flat bar and the trans for smooth movement.



Both spring assist installed in my 125. Notice the washers trying to space the flat bar out for enough clearance to work. It didn't work. Although I got it to move, I lost too much travel (lift) when the bolt head contacted the outer frame rail.

I don't know ( aahhhhhh <--- if you're a Monty Python fan you'll get that humor )

I'll see if I get a measurement tomorrow from either my 122 or 125.

I have two different springs on my narrow frames. One is original NF IHC spring assist and the other is later cub cadet spring assist. I think the 1/2" bolt one is the correct IHC ( I will need someone to verify )

9" coil length on 1/2" bolt spring
8" coil length on 3/8" bolt spring

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.
