Hi,
Below is the Cub 54 Blade owner's manual, it has lots of info. There is a pic of the lift parts on page 5.
Nothing is supposed stick up past the rockshaft arm so far as yours has.

You don't use the manual lift shown in it, if you have Touch Control. :)

The blade in your pic looks like it doesn't have much ground clearance.
I think there have been posts on here about making the parts yours is missing, with measurements of the pieces.

Hey, Glen

It doesn't have much clearance and most of the time it isn't a big deal. I use the blade to move logs around while building my cabin and it becomes a pain on eneven ground. Occasionally it will fetch up on a stump I didn't cut off close enough to the ground. Not a lot of give when that happens.

Posco, see how much give it has when you are plowing snow in 3rd gear at about 1/2 throttle or a little more, it it catches on a frozen in rock. The rock stops the tractor, and the steering wheel stops you. The steering wheel hurts you some, but the spinner knob gives a whole new meaning to the word pain.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
