Spring assist ideas?
Today I mounted my blade to the front of my tractor. UGH, its a little heavier then I expected. Other then buying a spring assist (which may just be the best solution right now) anyone just make one? Id rather not spend a ton of cash on this right now or make it to complicated. I do have one of those HF Sam special winches that I have thought of using but again, a little more complicated then I want to go at least this season. Does the spring assist make much difference?

Spring assist makes a big difference. When I had my 122, I had both the IH spring assist and the Brinly spring assist on the lift bar and it was great. Almost effortless.
If you can find the bent rod, a newer spring assist spring works. |

That will not work on a wf.
the winch takes too long to lift.plus you have to figger a way to mount it. Why not just get a correct one for your 108?

This is how I'm leaning but they seem rather expensive for two brackets, a spring and a connecting rod :-(

I'm going to have to do something because this blade is heavier then expected. The first few times I picked it up I thought I could just live with it but then I thought about how many times I'd be lifting this thing all winter and realized I better think of something. So, yeah, I'm shopping.

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.
