Cub Cadet 147 Electric Lift

Post by mspdpi »

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy the electric motor only for the actuator that lifts the mower deck?

Looks like "cub cadet specialties" shows one. Are you sitting down..lol. I think it was around $250. Good luck

Thanks Dag, that is spendy. I wonder if anyone has ever tried those generic actuators that are sold on Amazon?

The old motor was not working so when I took it apart I found that the magnets were snapped off.

Oh, I guess not much chance of repairing that. I was able to replace the brushes on mine. I have a spare unit ready to go.
