Jeff, I don't know the exact specs, but are the frame widths of the CCC and current MTD the same? The rear weight bracket from a 25XX series should let you hang those weights. With mine I could put 4x42lb suitcases on there. They come up on epay all the time for around $20-$30... nothing more than a thick U shaped bracket.

The fluid filled tires are a big plus. I think that helped me out more than anything, you've got the weight right there on the ground.

Surplus center.com has the carlisle x-tracs w/rims for like $24 each. http://www.surpluscenter.com/sort.as...EN=20&PageNo=2

I replaced the front turfs with those and my snow steering improved by 100%, heck, even in the summer it's almost like poor mans power steering.
