Cyclops (and more?) rear weight bracket
When I bought the 551 snowblower for my 2084, it came off a 1641 and it came with this weight bracket and the two suitcase weights you see here. I figured it would be a direct bolt-on to the Super's frame, but alas, they are different for whatever reason. The Super's frame is narrower, so I got longer bolts and shimmed it out with four nuts that were larger than the bolts and slid over the threads. It took quite a bit of wrangling to get it mounted, but it's very sturdy and has worked great over this winter. I really wish I could find two more suitcase weights of this style, but with 150lbs hanging off the wheels plus the 80ish on this bracket plus my 200lbs, this Super barely slips at all, even uphill in reverse. I've seen a couple variations of this bracket for rear weights, and I'm sure it could be adapted to other Cubs, but it was sold in the Cyclops era as a 190-447-100 kit. PartsTree shows it as fitting early 82-series Supers up to the PTO pulley change. Just sharing photos as I don't see these very often...
