Lift Links for 450 Snowblower
I recently purchased a 450 snowblower to put on my 982. This blower was formerly on a GT so I added the bracket extension to carriage bracket and moved the pivot links to the appropriate holes. After mounting it on the tractor the blower won't lower far enough. After trying to adjust the lift arm, etc., I noticed that the lift links were fully extended and won't let the blower lower any more. After looking closer at the link arms it appears they have a splice in them which adapted them from some other application to work with this snowblower and a GT.
To make a long story short, does anybody have the lift link dimensions that will work with a 450 snowblower and a 982 SGT. I am looking for the overall length of the link as well as distance between holes and length of the slot if applicable. I am also not sure if there should be multiple holes on the opposite end from the slide or not. Thanks in advance.

I just went through this. Put my 450 blower on my 1572 for the first time last month. The lift link length called out for the 448 snow thrower lift kit is 12.91. I think this is from center to center if you were to think of the slot as a single hole at the end of the slot.
I made my own with some 1/4" X 1.5" flat stock. I cut my old lift links in half and reused the end with the slot. Cut the flat stock and drill accordingly to the dimension above. I clamped both parts to some aluminum for welding to keep everything straight. The pic below shows the links before paint.

If you haven't already done it , you may have to trim a couple of inches off the unused lever on the left side of the blower so it doesn't interfere with the chute rotation crank(notice the fresh cut rod in the attached picture). It will prevent the blower from going all the way down even with the correct links. Ask me how I know.

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.
