Snow blower problem

[Robert Payne]

Finally got my snowblower on the tractor and hooked up & running good,My ptoblem is i push the button down on the lift arm,blower goes down no problem,,,but when i raise the blower the lift arm won't lock in the raised position while i'm pulling with both arms. The only way i get it to lock in the raised position is to hook a rachet strap to the lift arm & the back fender and tighten it till it clicks in. Do they make a longer or an adjustable lift bar for the snowblower???? It's a 1972 cub 108 with a QA 36 snowblower

The lift rod should be around 28 1/2" long. Or you can put a 3/4" board under the front tires and measure center to center between your lift points.

My 128 had a similar problem, the lift arm rod in the tube would spin so it wasn't line up with the detent stops.

DING,DING,DING,WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! after thinking i wasn't pulling it back far enough for it to catch, i pulled the lifting rod off the lifting handle to add a home made link exstension and caught out the corner of my eye(i'm 1/2 blind..LOL) i spotted down by the floorboard & frame the lifting arm locking rod was twisted and not catching in the notches! tighten the push button on top,,NOW WORKS GREAT!!!.....THANK YOU KHARVEY!!! Saved me a lot of AGGRIVATION.....
