Calling for some snow Sunday nite in Western Pa, so I fired up the 1862 and cleaned up the bottom of the driveway. Started right up at 20* and the 450 blower is dead quiet. I guess I'll get some seat time early Monday morning.

I got my new wheel weight hubs put on the 100 and finished putting the rest of the PTO linkage on the 126.

Default Gggggrrrrr!

We had just enough snow to have a little something to push so I got the 1872 with the Haban blade out. Just ag tires with the monster wheel weights and it is awesome. Took 2 of the 4 trip springs off the blade just to be safe.

Well, even though I was barely moving, I tripped the blade. When I went to pick it up.,...nothing,.,.worst part was that I was around the corner doing the inlaws drive. Rigged it up to make it home but haven't checked it out yet. Three point on the back is still moving and the rockshaft arm is intact (I put extra welds on it when I replaced it in the spring).

I am hoping I just snapped the roll pins and nothing else. I am pretty disappointed in the whole front lift setup on the supers. Maybe just need to do a little custom work for that part..

Glad you got some super seat time. Sorry you had blade issues. I spent a little time yesterday afternoon installing the lift rod support bracket. Looks like it will add quite a bit of support to the lift arm. I'll post pics soon. Also filled 4 of my 6 tires with windsheild washer fluid. 3 gals each in the front and 8 gals each in the rear. Still have to put the tubes in the turfs (for plowing with chains) before I fill them. I also hooked up the windsheild wiper in my cab with a new switch and wiring and added some reflectors to the cab.

Picked up a volt meter for the 126 since the ammeter on it didn't work. I got out the 100 and cleaned the 3" of snow off the cement in front of the garage. Can't wait till we get some real snow to try out the power angle blade better.

Default Cub 1641 Skidder

Where are you located in Washington? I'm about 15 mi SW of Mt St Helens.[/QUOTE]

I live in South Everett...am looking for some acreage out in the County, hopefully before the end of the year. Then the Cub will really go to work!

Default Can't Push Mud

We don't get much snow here in Western Washington...I did get to plow one night with my backblade but the snow went away and the Record Rains started. I picked up a used offbrand front blade, so I need to build it in somehow. It usually involves a cup of coffee, staring at it for a while, and scratching my head. Does anyone have any closeups of stock Cub front blade brackets? I have a '93 1641.

Woohoo! Got to use the 1862/450 last nite and this morning. This morning was a bit heavier than last nite, but all in all, it's a breeze with the PS and hydraulic lift. My drive has a 30'x30' pad outside the garage and then is about 150' long to the road. Took me about 25 minutes including having to move my wifes car. I think I need some auxillary lights, either wider, higher or both. The stock lites on the 1862 are bright enough, but they shine right in the shoot. I'll be doing some cypherin' this week to see what I can come up with.

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.
