Used my new to me 3165 to clear it's first significant snowfall. Got the front cab mounted light bar, beacon, and windshield wiper wired up with this nifty 6 circuit box. Need to get the rear lights wired. Then I will have 2 spare circuits.

Since there is no snow on the ground, which is dandy in my opinion. As well
as in Georges if my memory serves me. I put the 125 to work doing a little wood hauling. Tractor seemed happy for the job and owner always loves hauling wood by mechanical means. KenDSCN1173.jpg DSCN1174.jpg |

The 2382 snowblower tractor getting a workout
The 2382 is a repowered re badged 1872 with a 23 hp Command engine swap. It features a cab and a 451 blower. It is a snow eating beast. We had a major snowfall and wind so I had some good sized drifts to content with. This is the first time since I put the cab on the tractor that I really gave it a workout. I just need a way to get some engine heat in there to help keep the windshield clean. A couple of pictures of it in action.

I've had my eyes out for a snow cab, for my 2182 that's going to be my dedicated snow chucker. I do have an idea for a defroster. I wanted to do a initial test out tonight, after reading your post, it jogged all the cobwebs upstairs... but I can't seem to find my small cigar lighter power inverter that I just had not so long ago. Here's my idea. It involves a Presto Hot air popcorn popper take the 3 small Phillips screws out of the base, and you have an insane amount of hot forced air, in a small package. Some dryer vent hose, as short as possible, a small power inverter, a small battery, or use your tractors, 1/2 Size Foil Deep Steam Table Pan, or full size one, and some hose clamps. With the foil pan you would fold it long ways, to make a long, very narrow channel, like what's used for a bare floor shop vac, only narrower, to concentrate the hot air. Also cut the hole in the bottom part, and prob pinch the center opening to help divert the air out to the ends, (make a wider spray pattern so to speak) And last but surely not least, your imagination. I'll take a pic of the hot air popper base, and post it in the General Talk, for anybody who's curious. I think you might also be able too use an old blow dryer, heat gun, etc? Good luck with keeping that ice off the shield. Maybe some Rain-X till you get it worked out. Back in my snowmobile days we used to wax our shields to help keep the snow and ice off, and from fogging up.

That's a lot of work for a bit of defrost. Check with your local Auto parts store as NAPA, Advanced Auto, and Autozone all carry a cigarette-lighter plug in heater that even comes with a mounting bracket. Likely among whatever auto stores are near you there's one collecting dust on a shelf waiting to serve you! Seems like that would be just what you need assuming your generator is in good condition. Used one in my '68 Plymouth Valiant for a couple winters until i could make time to replace the heater core .....

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.
