I did some measuring of the blades height at all the way up. and one side is 4 inches while the other side is 4 3/4.I put two medium size bricks on one end and the sides were like 1/4 inches apart. I have yet to look at the rockshaft, but I do think that is fine. I did have this issue with my snowblower only lifting up side up, but that is becasue of a missing pin that goes in the quick attach.
 
Kraig-ok so the "cold weather starting" option " protects" the engine from trying to turn over "jello" hy-tran.thank you for educating me
 
Charlie-

Didn't you say something one time about the 1450 being one of your favorites? I think I remember reading that and it wasn't that long ago. I also remember your loader was attached to a 169 (RIP) but you had a 1450 that was special for some reason. Just curious.

.
 
The 147 and 1450 are the best IMHO.
The 1450 had the loader.
The 169 was bare.

The special one is my profile pic, That was the best 250 bucks I ever spent!
That 1450 was also the one that got pulled through the field by Travis at around 20 M.P.H after I blew a head gasket and ran for another 10 or so years after with not one issue.

Marty,

I suspect your 128 runs as good as it looks,

I found myself almost daydreaming while staring at your recent work pics, thinking about plow's sig, w/ everything set up right, w/ a good running tractor, full tank, and a few good acre in front of "me",,,,,

Edit:

Digger,,, hey do you recall the weight setup on your old 169?
Every time a see that pic looks like actual Cub Cadet weights a few inches or so off the rim with more weight underneath maybe,,,
