New lift for footdragger

Recommended Posts

Had a power lift on the front for the blower,but wouldn't work for lifting the deck,so I designed something on the back to do everything.Works good so far.Here's some pics and a link to a video.

Follow-up on construction.Didn't have the OEM rod so I used some fine thread threaded rod and .049 wall tubing from McMaster-Carr.In the back I put some scrap 7/8 threaded rod in the lift brkt hole and had a t-bracket welded to the end.The pivot has a piece of 1/4' flat bar folded over the top and welded for the top attach point for the actuator.For the sleeve hitch lift rod,I used two 1/2" threaded gate post hinge bolts and a coupler nut for adjustment.Removed the factory hitch and bolted up two lengths of angle iron which provides the sleeve hitch pivot point and lower mount for the actuator.
