I fought the snow...
 

I fought the snow and the snow won....:biggrin2: Seems the snow was the winner vs the 784 w/a 54" blade.

And just what is that for? Looks like operator abuse....:LMAO1:

That is to angle the plow.

wow :bigeyes: How did you manage to break that?

OK I'll take back the operator abuse comment. It's a crappy design, I broke the same thing years ago on my 1210. Replaced it with the round handle from a cheap 1/2" breaker bar that just happened to be laying around. PITA to get it to line up but after the plow season was done I welded tube into the frame for a guide.

That happens when there is six inches of snow on the ground and you can't see a solid chuck of ice.....:bigeyes:

And you should see what happens to a plow when you hit a piece of curb the snow plow dumped into your drive way then covered with snow, sorry no pic it happened 12 years ago , let's just say new plow was needed !

Sorry, it broke on you, Roland.

looks like it was rusted or rotted:bigthink:, that angles the plow. sorry it broke on you, Roland.

Speaking of weird happenings, last week at work I was clearing the sidewalks, 2nd gear, 3/4 throttle or so. Going along like normal and apparently the sidewalk has a new heave in it. This, I didn't know. Long story short, it was such a heave that the blade caught it, tripped forward but instead of going over the bump and resetting like normal, it kept caught. Before I could get to the clutch and stop, the lift arm broke and the blade ended up under my front wheels with the front end about a foot or more in the air. Doh! :bash2:

Sorry to hear Roland. Looks like a lot of blades and throwers breaking lately! Tis the season!

Who was it that was looking forward to snow this winter? :bigthink:

Yeah, seems as though there were a few:bigthink:

I wonder who that was? :HeeHee:

After close examination, that pin broke because it was only holding on by one side of the Spirol pin drilled hole. Imagine that, it broke after 40 years of service.:biggrin2:

Wonder if MTD will fix it under warranty? :biggrin2:

Sorry to hear the setback, but it did well for it's service. You will be back in action soon!! Perhaps it's your cub's way of saying--Let's take a break!:beerchug:

Cub Cadet 123

a 1/2" x 6" Bolt works just as well. I am thinking a 1/2" Clevis Pin from Tractor Supply would even be better.:biggrin2:
