You can mount the snow blower to the cub no matter what. But without the creeper your gunna be riding the clutch to keep the tractor from stalling in heavy snow. With a creeper, when you put it in low range all your gears are slower then 1st gear in high range.
Unless you have a creeper already, i would forgrt the idea of spending 200 bucks on one and put that money towards a hydrostatic cub and forget about blowing snow with a gear drive

Whelp to be honest I've been looking at a lot of snow covered people on YouTube blowing snow with their cub and think it's to cold a way to go HAHAHA. I'll keep my eye out of a plow and take that approach. Thank you for clearing this up for me everyone

my 108 came with a mower deck and a blower, fluid in the tires and a set of tire chains.
no creeper gear

I have it ready for snow, but am waiting to see how bad it will be without creeper gear
I also have mention I have a front blade on my 1960 Cub lo-boy just in case!

Now I'm really ready. I picked up this QA42A yesterday. It came with a project 149 too. Here it is on my good 149. I just have to get a belt for it.

I found out the hard way that,unless you have one of those fancy wind breaker cabs, it is best to use a blade during the storm and the snow thrower after the storm to push back the banks and clean up. Getting blasted in the face with blown snow really sucks!

Without the creeper you'll over feed your blower. You could use the clutch brake pedal but that gets old fast.

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.
