I own a 36 inch snow thrower and used it each winter from the mid 70s till I got a super. As long as you use a wide open throttle the old single stage works well but if you do not have a creeper gear on a standard tranny your ground speed may be too fast at that throttle setting. With a hydro you do not have that problem. Once I got my 2084 and a 451 two stage blower that is my go to for snow removal. With full hydro steering is very easy and lifting that behemoth is just a lever. What I like best about both is there is no snow bank at the edge of the drive to make drifts like a blade does.

Well I went and picked up my new 450 snowblower Saturday from Lew in New Jersey "darkminion_17". I wanted to share some pictures I took of his amazing collection. I don't think he will mind. It's probably a good thing I didn't take my trailer and more cash because I think I would have came home with alot more than a snowblower.

I'm disappointed Lew. A 782 shouldn't be used as a work bench! LOL!

I also plan to load the tires and add a weight box on the back.
Not to bring up a dead thread but how is the 450 on your 1450 working out with a 5/8 belt? Found this thread and it made me wonder

I'm not having any trouble with the 5/8 belt on the 1450 PTO. So far I have not noticed any belt slipping. The one thing I did notice is that the belt for these blowers is 84" I think and it was to long. I am running a 79" belt now and it seem to keep the idler and tensioner pulleys level when the blower is on the ground. The only thing I can think is that the engine centerline in these tractors is lower than the newer tractors.

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.
