Great job on the carrier Adam.. I need to do one of those up too some day.

Got the hydro lift on my 100 today. It now has hydro lift, 3pt, creeper, lights, rear ags and hub caps. The only thing its missing is th rear pto which I would like to get for it. Now I just got to tackle the creeper noise and put a new oilpan gasket in and its ready to play

I've been home from school for about 2 weeks, and I haven't really posted about any CC stuff. I spent a few days fixing up the lathe my dad bought in the fall so I could start fixing Cub Cadet parts with it.

I think I may have figured out why my 782/QA-36A was eating belts. The engine tilt is causing a belt misalignment, and excessive slop in the gearbox bracket allows it to tilt even further out of alignment. I have addressed these issues and will probably post about it in more detail if it works. I can't imagine I'm the only one who has put a QA-36/42A on an 82 series and had belt alignment problems.

I also picked up a barely used 364 2-stage 45" snowblower for my 1872 tonight. I plan on getting that attached and my new rear tires on it soon.

Thanks Jay. It's very handy. I probably use it more than any of my other attachments.

Adam: I really missed my 100! It was great, getting behind the wheel! :beerchug:

Well, Last Tuesday i went to Webster NY to get my Cub Cadet 102. i turned it over and it fired and all of the sudden went full bore. found out the little arm doohicky thing that runs from the Carb to the Govener arm had come loose. easy fix. i got it fixed and its running great.

and today, i just picked up a 104 parts machine with a good engine that will go in the 122. also scored a sweet looking original Cub Cadet soft cab! that will be awesome to have on those cold windy days! gonna instal that soon as well. all in all, good cub week!

Once again I brought a good bit of firewood up from the woodpile to the garage. It's been quite cold here for December. Low 30s in the daytime and below 20 at night since Thanksgiving. We've been going through some fire wood. Especially with the son home from college for the holidays and my wife's work shuts down for 2 weeks at Christmas time. Both of them home the stove has been burning round the clock for weeks.

After that I used the Haban blade to clean up the driveway a bit before I mess it up plowing snow. The gravel tends to get piled around the rock wall at the edge when plowing so I drug it back out and spread it with the blade. So nice having a big, heavy hydraulic blade to work with. It does a fine job with the gravel as well as snow.

The temps were mid to high 40s today and should be even higher tomorrow. Feels like summer compared to the last few weeks. Nice overdue break.

Finally, Snow!
 

Before this we,ve had too warm of a winter in CO for any snow, but finally, we got some! We got about 5 inches and I got aout the 149 with plow and pushed some snow. This was the first time I had ever tried it for plowing snow and I was pleasantly surpised. We have alot of area to push snow around our house and it handled every bit of it. I was most amazed at how it would straight blade. We have 2 chicken pens that I can plow that takes straight blading, and it would push it all the way to the back. These are such powerful machines. Here are a couple pictures to show how good it did.
P.S. I plowed till almost 3:00 this afternoon.

We haven't had enough snow to even use mine yet this year.
