new here
Hello everyone. Very glad to have found this site. I have owned a Cub Cadet 108 now for a couple years. I was thinking this winter with the little higher than normal snow fall about trading my 108 and Troybilt mower in on a new "yard tractor" of some kind that I could get a snow blower/thrower attachment. Then I thought about the price of it all. Well now that I have found out that there at many kinds of attachments for my cub I believe I will be keeping her. She is rough looking and beat up, but what can I say, she was given to me with a dozer/snow blade.
I would like to get a snow thrower, 46a i think, for her and make her really work. I do not wish to "polish" or "rebuild" her because I like my things looking rugged and worn. I dont need no stinking beauty. And besides, these older models are WAY more powerfull and better running than anything new. I will get more pictures up when I can. Now the fun stuff. Where the heck can I find a snow thrower for her? I have been looking all over the net and have not found much. Maybe someone on here is in SE Iowa area and knows some things. I would also like to get a sleeve hitch also and front and rear spring assist. I guess I just keep my eyes open every where I go. Has anyone ever ran a snow thrower along with a rear mounted blade. Would like to have one that can be used as push or pull. I plan on maybe adding new tires as mine are very weather checked and the chains that are on her are getting very worn also. Would love to get some wheel weights too. Im a 310lb big boy but need more weight as it will spin out in my alley and back yard when pushing snow. Can anyone tell me all the different attachments. front and rear, that were made for Cubs? Any other "brands" interchange? I think I shall leave you alone now. Thank you if you read this far. Take care and enjoy your "toys" as I do. John

Well John
 , lol. Welcome aboard mate!! I'll try to answer a couple of your questions, although a more knowledgable member will chime in with some clearer answers. Nice tractor btw, 108 is a great tractor. You'll be looking for a qa36a or qa42a snow thrower for your 108. Post an add in the "wanted" section here on OCC, could post add for spring assist. I'm not sure, but I think there is only one type of spring assist, wide frame spring assist and it's connected to the rockshaft and bolted to the rear of tractor frame. About running rear blade and thrower, don't think that work to well as you only have one implement lift, if you could control them independently I guess it would work. Anyway, welcome and we'll see how right I am

Sminkey, thanks for your response!!
I was maybe thinking about trying to run a electric controls for rear and maybe even for front. I have an idea bout it. I just found out a family member has a 3pt and a cultivator at his home. Going to go look at it this week and hopefully we can work out a cheap (as i am poo) if it fits my tractor. I already know mine is a "Wide Frame". Great start I hope. How can I tell for sure if it will fit? What measurements should I take and from where. Can anyone tell me what is better to have, A: sleeve hitch or B: 3pt hitch Not really looking to use alot or if any rear implaments (sp?) but if i can get a few for cheep I will always play with my toys doing something that tears up the yard...hahahahha...i have a wife that doesnt care about the yard, less we have to mow...ahahha... Been looking at the Johnny Lifts and they seem to be really nice, expensive for me, but nice looking and being lazy electric would be awesome. Have thought about trying to mount a power steering pump from an old Chevy to the deck drive. Oh by the way one thing I forgot to mention is that it did not come with a deck and I do not plan on buying one for it ever as I dont want to have to take chains off to have to put back on in winter. She was given to me as a snow mover and am just now finding out about the all the other wonderfull things I can do with her. Thanks again. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Have fun, be safe and enjoy your toys. John

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.
