Both levers on my 48 are straight/flatbar type..one has a push button type release..I don't have the grip type release like yours.
Your lever is not OEM Cub. Modified from another tractor application. If it works, use it.
Hi,
Below are pages from the Cub 144 Cultivator operator's manual.
The 1st page shows the manual lift lever, it doesn't bolt to the left fender, just the top of the transmission housing.

This page shows the front rockshaft, that bolts onto the clutch housing, and has a rod connecting it to the lever. The front rockshaft lifts and lowers mid, or front mounted implements.
The lower picture on the page is the rear rockshaft used with Touch Control.

"...so I will take out all the bends and remount-see if that looks right and functions well."
It is mounted on the left fender and I'm not aware of any OEM or aftermarket attachment/implement that would attach to it.

If you want the IH manual lift lever for the Cub, you could look at The Vine on here, it is the want ads, and see if someone is selling one. The Vine is on the Forums page.
Or put a want ad for a lever there.

The lever attaches to nothing that I have, its just part of its history. I've no idea what it ever attached to, must have been something decades ago as someone did attach the thing. This Cub spent most of its life as a snowplow in Eastern Oregon. I do have the very heavy-duty home-made snowplow, it made use of the hydraulics to raise and lower.

Thats a pretty good looking, stout, snow blade setup...
