Don't build like they use to!! That's what I love about these old cubs Matt, they're totally rebuildable.

I finally got the steering wheel off of the 124 tonight. After 2 weeks of soaking it in PB and I made 2 different wood blocks like Matt G.'s, but the woods I used just weren't hard enough and I snapped them. Don't think any wood would have worked on this one, in the pic you'll see a split bearing tool I picked up at Napa for $40. Kinda pricey but it worked great, only thing I don't like about it is only 2 threaded holes for bolts, be nice to have 3 pressure points. But man did it go "bang" when it let loose tonight, scared the crap out of me:biggrin2.gif:. Also worked on the new 147, took off tank and rinsed it out, changed out sediment bowl and will rebuild carb later tonight. Hope to get it running in the next couple days.

I had he same problem on my 1282. I soaked it for a week, nothing. Had my son and 4 of his friends pull while I beat on it....still nothing! I bought a puller from my Snap-On dealer (90 Bucks) and it came right off. But like yours, it sounded like a gunshot when it popped!! I coated the shaft with Never-Seize before I put the steering wheel back on.

Got a little further with the 364/1872 today. My mounting brackets are still not rigid enough; hopefully I'll be able to fix that tomorrow. I was at least able to move it outside and try it out. The starts slips at first but eventually grabs and starts the tractor. Maybe it'll be ok. I can't believe how quiet the snowblower is...it's nearly silent and can't be heard over the tractor. Much quieter than my QA-36A. I had both the 782 and 1872 outside warming up at once, as the 782 was in the way of getting the 1872 out. 2 M18s running at the same time sounds cool:biggrin2.gif: I took some video that I'll eventually put on my website. I think the muffler in my 782 is bad, as I couldn't hear the 1872 running when both were side by side. The lift links are too short, so I need to make longer ones so the snowblower actually touches the ground. That and putting the Tru-Powers on the rear and it'll finally be ready for snow, 6 weeks too late.

Matt. Really curious to see how the blower turns out and how far it throws snow. I have a 2 stage off a 782 which is close to the same thing I think? I'm gunna end up putting that on my 1650 for next winter

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.
