Once again, something new I have not seen before.

Electric lift?

[ebinmaine 67,317]

Looks it.

 

Something you found online? Or something you have?

Another forum. I don't know if this is kosher or not, but here it is.

Yep--Electric lift for sure----

[Maxwell-8 4,275]

Sears had them, but yours does look beefier.

Would this be original? If not, they made a it a clean install with decals and everything

[c-series don 8,671]

I’d like to see more pictures of that, I think I have that electric lift someone gave me but I never knew how to install it? 

[Gregor 4,846]

I may be all wet here, but, it looks to me as though this electric gadget spins a shaft, and lifts the mower deck, or whatever you have on your tractor at the time. I don't think it's meant to be used as a 3 point hitch.

[Thor27 767]

I have one of these in pieces, and the manual. It was a retrofit kit. It lifts the main rockshaft, so the rear hitch would be dependent on the cable. When I get home I'll find a part number for it.

Included in the decal set for a C100

There's more pics in the link but the thread is from 2006.

Ooops. Nope. 

 

I did...

 

 

Read the thing wrong.

Interesting that one of the folks indicated they'd pay $200 or so. 

The LIFT is worth all of that. 

 

Here in Maine that's a $300 to $500 tractor NOT counting the lift mechanism.

Yeah, but I happen to know that "folk" is cheap, and when a tractor doesn't run, it's just a roller with a big weight in the front.

Agreed. Me included. 

 

But if I wanted that lift and knew what it was worth it'd be game on.

I know nothing about the lift. Is it rare? Valuable?

I've only been around Wheelhorse tractors for about 4.5 years or so. 

That's the first one I recall seeing.  

 

It would be a great addition to an 8 speed if power lift is desired. 

 

[Howie 886]

Have one here on a 1972 Raider12. 

[kpinnc 11,935]

Yep, that's the "old style" electric lift. Only ever seen one locally myself. Saw one at the big show once too. Was a factory option.

[Thor27 767]

It's a 8-4231

Have to kind of dig the thing out first. Not really that hard I guess.
