Like most other things at my age, I know how much snow I can (can't) handle.

AND 44.7kW of snow is my limit!

Well, I got the 55 pounds of weights installed in their hidden location.

My WAG of the hole locations worked out just fine, I didn't have to match drill through anything important.

With the addition of my hidden weights, sleeve hitch, spring assist and modified
hitch I guess I have added 100 pounds to the back of the QL 1000.

Now the mice and mud will have a harder time getting in the battery box!!

I also changed the 6 bolts that holds the transmission to the frame to grade 8 just in case that connection does not like all that additional weight!!

If it ever snows, I have a set of loaded 10.50's with chains standing by, so with a quick tire swap, the QL 1000 should be ready to go.

Until then, the QL will do light yard work duty, waiting for spring, complete dis-assembly, and a new paint job.

You did good! Lots of extra weight in a little space. The mice are going to be mad!

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.
