Hello from MN
 

Hello been driving Cub Cadets since I was young. Just got a new to me 3165 with front hitch, blade, mower deck, chains, 4 weights and CC branded yard cart.

When I was real young we had an Original CC that I don't remember. Dad traded that for a red 682. Too bad, that Original went right into the dealership owners personal collection. I put a lot of hours on the 682 mowing. Then that went away for a 2185 that dad still has, but doesn't use. When it was my Mom or I mowing 48 inch deck was enough. When my mom had her knee rebuilt and I was out of the house dad took over the mowing. About one hour into a 6 hour mow, dad disappeared. Came back an hour later with a brand new CaseIH farmall 35 with 72in deck..

Welcome to OCC......:Welcome2:

Welcome. Great machine, Good luck with it..:beerchug:

Thanks All. Only a member for one day and now I have two cub cadets. Just bought this today for the snowblower and the Sims cab that is in really nice condition. The tractor 3185 barely runs but it has cat0 3pt hitch.

Any tips or ideas on the cab install please let me know. I'll plan to install on my 3165 tomorrow.

I think I bought it right.

photos of just the SIMS cab off the trailer. Hope I have all the parts.

Nice catch on the second load. If you have trouble with installing that Sims cab, you might have to reach out to Sims for that information.

...you never can have too many cubs.:beer2:

Got the cab installed on my 3165. Need to tune fits, run the blower controls into the cab and get some lights installed on the top.

Thanks to my Dad for helping. The best tool to work on your tractor with is a bigger tractor. The cab already had the eye bolts installed to the top. The last owner must have done something similar.

Looks great.

Welcome. Nice snow rig!
