Got the hydraulic cylinder & mounting brackets from another member on the forum (thanks macman!) and scored this 42" IH plow for my 1250 from a gentleman with a machine shop right over the border into Mass. He said he didn't paint it yellow, so I assume someone before him did--he wasn't a cub cadet collector, but a collector of all kinds. He did have about 8 cub cadets, though. He had a 149 he had in pieces about 80% restored and a 782D. He had a low boy in pristine restored condition in a vehicle tent tucked away behind a rusty 8N and a few other smaller tractors (he had an 8N w/ loader fully restored right in the parking lot when I came in). Was pretty cool to see his assortment of toys and he was fair on the plow and threw in some 1/2" rodstock to make a new lift rod (he couldn't find where he'd put the one for it).

He said he might be liquidating some of his inventory, so I might be back to check out that 149 and the 782D (I don't think the diesel was running). He said he replaced the driveshaft as the torque broke the original 5/8" one--is that common?
