Lift arm

[1811woody]

I have discovered my most recent acquisition (2284) does not have a implement lift arm, I guess it has just been a mower all its life? With the snow coming I want to use a blade or blower. I've looked on the net and have discovered they are pretty expensive, at least to me they seem pricey, so I'm thinking about making my own, has anybody made their own implement lift arm? how did it work out? what length did you use from center line of the pivot point to center line of the lift rod?

Is your blade the Haban #401?

Thanks Sam, I visited extreme and compared his price + shipping along with others after shopping around I decided to build a my own version of that style, being retired I have plenty of time on my hands to fabricate one. With access to a mill and a metal scrap yard I will hopefully come out money ahead.

No it is the IH snow blade, is the #401 the blade called out for this gt?

Yes, I believe it is.

IH was completely out of the picture by the time these Supers rolled out of the Brownsville plant.

Not to say you can't adapt your IH blade to the Super, but it will be a challenge.
I was lucky and found a #401 last year complete with the lift arm for $400 and glad I did as you don't see
them come up for sale but once in a blue moon.

I have an extra hanger I plan to modify to reach the original cub rear mount or I may extend it enough and add some haban style mounts. I also have the original hanger to change back so I can still mount it to my 1863.
