crank 5 #1 Posted October 18, 2019 I wondered if anyone else has this problem ? I just put a snow thrower on my 314 and it will not lift over 4" . I used the top hole the arm and i used washers on the lift arm. I can't see anything else I could do to correct it. I have a gravel driveway and I'm worried it may drag in the dirt.

Ed Kennell 38,024 #2 Posted October 18, 2019 The bottom hole should give more lift, but will require more force to lift it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033 #5 Posted October 18, 2019 Each 1/8" thick 3/4" SAE flat washer will add about 1/2" to the lift height. Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crank 5 #6 Posted October 22, 2019 Thanks all for the reply's . I did all of your suggestions and get just three to three and one half inch.. On the bottom hole I get no lift at all. I guess I'll have to live with what I got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwalshy 229 #7 Posted October 22, 2019 Did you turn the height lift adjustment knob near gear selector? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crank 5 #8 Posted October 23, 2019 No I did not , but I just went out and tried it and it seemed to help at least it stops all the weight from dragging on the ground. Thank You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc724 925 #9 Posted October 29, 2019 Do what Ed and Gary said and add a helper spring to lift it. I sold all my WH equipment 18 months ago but as I recall, I had close to 6 inches of lift Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
