:biggrin2.gif: Your in pretty rough shape man! Perhaps you should have a helmet on too..... foot and hands both operated on in the last month! Just yank'n your chain.... 682 looks sweet! Those true powers look even better in snow. How do you like the front tri-ribs? They rough on grass in summer when mowing? Wasn't sure if I should put them on the 982 or V's? I have been looking at the tires while out BBQ'n this winter....they are getting pretty dri-rotted.....

Not sure if it's the years and the miles or just the miles...:biggrin2.gif:

The tri's are a bit hard on the thinner lawn when it's wet. But in thicker grass they are fine. They help a lot on snow though.

Nice pics Jaybird. I like the long drift cutters. I have the stock ones on my blower but could have used longer ones last year. Maybe with a piece of plexglass between them! I painted the inside of my blower with EZ slide last year. I can't say It makes a huge difference with snow. It's really kind of a rough coarse finish. I think good glossy paint with some carnuba wax would be hard to beat for wet snow.

Thanks squatch, I won't be using EZ Slide again when I re-do it for next year. I do have a sheet of plexi glass zip tied to the grill so there is only about 4" each on the outer edges to keep the warm air off of the chute, that seems to help a bit too.

I was just thinking about making the mouth of my blower bigger with the plexi. I was busting 5'+ drifts last winter and they kept falling over the back of the blower when they broke. I then had to back up and run the blower over the same section again and again. Not a normal winter but this was the rule last year. Haven't even used the blade much this year. We've been dodging the weather so far this year. Except the cold!

Thumbs up Oil change

I cleaned off the drive and walk-way, and then changed the oil. It was too cold to do any more! But it was sunny and got some seat time! Just 2 picts of the oil change operation going on.

got some more snow yesterday. had to use the cub 122 with the front blade since i broke the bolt on the speedex plow. it may not push all as well as the speedex does but it was fun! hydraulic lift is nice.

today i got the 102 out and tried out the snowthrower after i applied some EZ-Slide. works allot better now.

i got the plow fixed on the Speedex so back to plowing with that.

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.
