Default Can you guess what these were in a former life?
So here is the front weight bracket that my father and I came up with. We originally needed one to keep the front of the tractor down when plowing some virgin ground although it is great at keeping the front end where you put it when pushing snow also. It is tucked in to the grill enough that it doesnt interfere with the lift of the snow plow. As for what they were in a former life. they are a stack of weights off of a nautilus weight machine like you would find in a gym. The weights are 10 pound each and the box is about 10 pound giving a total of 100 pounds of extra weight on the front. Hope you guys like it!!

Looks like a lot of weight to hang on the lower grill casting, but hey, if your happy, I'm happy.

actually no weight at all on the casting, the box has two 1/2" bolts welded in it that go through the front frame and then large flat washers and lock nuts on the other side of the frame. Thanks for the lookout though!!!

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.
