Default Plowing? + photos

Hello CCO,
I got the rear lift working on my Original today.
The P.O. had the spacer in place making the fenders too high for the lift rod to clear.
I hooked the sleeve hitch up and attached the Brinly plow.

I got about 4 feet when the drive belt that goes from the engine to the clutch pully broke....


A quick visit to Mc.NAPA for a new belt and 1 hour to figureout how to get the new belt installed and I'm back at it.



An OK belt if you like J.D. Green and the fact that it is made in MEXICO

I hope plowing a field is easyer than plowing a yard.
I was trying to loosen the dirt in a high spot in the yard where an apple tree used to be planted.
I must have found every root from every tree in the neighborhood.
what a mess!!!



Now for the questions...
Is the plow supposed to float or is the lift rod supposed to be locked in place?
Any advise is welcome!!!!

Here is how the yard looked after chopping all the roots I found and smoothing with my Brand X and snow blade.

First of all....NICE Original! :TumbsUp:

I am thinking you need to get yourself a tiller to work on them roots if they are not too large! That will make quick work of getting them outta the ground so you can level them out with that....ummmm...Ford. Not sure that it could handle the tough job, you might need to call another Cub owner with a blade? :biggrin2.gif: My opinion....I would set the plow up that it does not float while plowing. The idea is to have a consistant furrow when plowing in my mind.....find the correct depth setting with the handle on the tractor then adjust the plow itself at the correct depth/angle to plow a nice furrow and lay the grond over nice and pretty! That is my on the matter..... As far as the PO issue...can't help ya on that, never been around a cub like yours to know what is right and what isn't as far as clutch set ups. Sorry.

Love to see those action shots though! Who's your four legged vertically challenged friend?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
