Raboley, Makes sure you get one of the braces Cub sells that links the outside forward lift arm to the mower deck lift arm for support. Part# HA-14297. If you break that rock shaft with that heavy Haban blade like I did last winter it will ruin more than just your day! When plowing snow take 2 of the 4 springs off it or the blade won't flip when you need it to. Lessons learned the hard way.
Anyway Just used my 1872 for the 1st time since last winter. Took it apart to fix the rock shaft and got carried away with a total refurbish. Just got it all back together and mowed this afternoon.
