Well i can probably match you on the strong beer drinking, but ive never lived in Germany and ate lots of pig parts. LOL All this junk talking im doing is probably a sure sign for something to happen to me. Im sure next plow day, Ill have a flat tire or my plow will come un-hitched from the tractor. Now that would be worth a picture!!

Looks like going to fly ok!!!
During developement of a new product, U do a lot of engineering changes as the new machine evolves, first pictures showed a wide butt white seat,(gone)! To off set all the rear weight for traction,one must balance the machine to keep front end on the ground . I am adding; a cow catcher, 40lb car battery, 5lb diamond plate, batt. case with two 10 lb suitcase wieghts,plus picture 3 shows cub zt 40 lb wieght. the angle the machine sets at has been altered, it now runs down hill all the time their by saving gas! ( LOL), but it does affect the weight distribution a little. The deisel boys take note that, the dreaded secret aditive bottles are shown, (empty) for now!!!

Default Gains in ground clearence

The biggest reasons I am making these mods to 1541 are; 1: brother in-law didn't like my plow machine, (124). said it was like riding buckin bronk, and 2:needed way more ground clerance,plus we had to run in first gear pulling a 12" brinley!

ok the 1541 has 27" tall mud hogs,giving 50% more ground clerance!
1541 has 50% more horsepower than the 124, and is hydro lift! I found the tires then built the machine around the tall ones!!! crazy yes!!!

Well the finished product, has morfed to this! John was upset that it was not a smoker. could we add a stack at least? Also the rubber foot pads on the cub he used,(782) were slippery. so the foot rest on the pure plow 1541 are off a 123, non skid! and I completed the rear adpt. plate, sleve hitch lift! All I have left is to add wheel weights/brake pads!!!

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.
