Upon further inspection in the daylight, I think Im just ignorant to how the plow blade works. I assumed it was raised and lowered from underneath like the deck. Now Im assuming it raises and lowers via the linkage that connects near the right floorboard. That would explain why the indicator has been removed and the home made bracket was one like the one linked from Ebay.
I also noticed the tires say Cub Cadet on them so Im assuming these were the tires that came on the tractor when it was new. New tires are gonna be a must. Im still taking suggestions. Seems turfs and ags are priced about the same. I suppose I don't really need ags as my yard is relatively flat and this will mainly be a mowing machine but Im sure it will be helpful for pushing snow. Again, all suggestions are welcome.
The battery purchase sticker says 1/08 so its definitely an old one. On my way to get a battery this afternoon.
Didn't get to tinker with the carb because its only 5 degrees out but I did notice the choke cable is junk and that may be part of the problem as well. Where can I get a new choke cable?
This thing is looking like it has enough minor issues that Im going to tear it down and clean it all up. Replace all the old fuel lines, etc. May even have a buddy straighten the fender pan up and put some new paint on it.
I took a few pics, Ill post them once they are uploaded to the computer. Thanks!
