I've got a 417-A with the rear lift kit installed and I want to move the lift kit to a different tractor. I've got the rockshaft off but the cable has me stumped. Since the installation instructions for my tiller say, "insert the lift cable into the tube from the back" I figured I could just pull it out. Nope. I decided to remove the whole lift tube but it's easier said than done. Any tips or tricks to get it off? I've got the lift tube clamp that holds it to the transaxle off but the tube won't come out. It's a tight fit under the hydro and it just won't come out. Do I have to take a wheel off? Take the hydro off? Shouldn't this tube just pull out?
