Looks Great! Since this thread is so long and long-running, how about a recap of what you made that machine from--I see 2 piles of "remnants" in the yard.

That's the two piles that are visible. I have one big pile out behind my chicken house. I really didn't use much for it. Just a hood and engine. I put new tires on the front and bent the rim out straight. It's a 2284 with a CH18. I dropped in a cast iron rear while I had the tranny apart, so I put the super pump and gears in the cast iron. I mounted a wide frame sleeve hitch lift in the rear plate and made a longer lift arm to go up to the hydraulic ram to lift it. I turned my garden with it already, with my 10" moldboard and it was effortless. I just have the factory cub tires on the back and it didn't spin at all, I thought I would. It was a test run because I was trying to decide if I should splurge for some ags. I mowed with it with my 54" deck too and it did a really nice job. I'm quite happy with this tractor for a little over $450 I have in it.

Here’s an update for you all. We haven’t gotten a lot of snow here yet, so I’ve only had a little bit of play time. The most recent snow was about 5” here and I couldn’t resist getting this behemoth out to blow away the 5”. I quickly found out I needed chains, so I ordered a set and got them yesterday. I put them on and drove it around today through the snow and what a world of difference they made. I have seen all of the arguments about ag tires va chains, and I decided to go chains with no additional weight to try it since it’s cheaper. The weight of the cast iron rear seems to be plenty. If I need more weight I will add it but so far so good. I love this tractor! Now,

Looking good, you need some big snow for that blower, hope you get some.
On a side note your left chain is on inside out.

You have a sharp eye. I didn’t know they had to go a certain way, they didn’t come with instructions.

I got a "Southern" question. Do you have to crowd or "push" a blower that big to make it work properly? My thinking is kind of like running a combine or baler, you have to "feed" it adequately--too slow creates issues.

Mine is a 551. I rammed it into a pile of wet melting snow today and it handled it like it was feathers. Slow or fast I have not seen it break a sweat.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
