Weld your homemade shoe on the inside also. Once the carriage bolt head wears off you will loose the cap and Ya don't need to be flinging that somewhere next spring with the mower deck!

Never thought of that! Very important. Thanks for the headsup! Exactly what I will do!

Did use the plow, 1st time working the CCC and the plow. Son loved it.

Might have the wrong length lift rod? Blade runs 1" to 2" off the surface. Skids don't touch down?

Chains and weights on my list!

I think weights and chains are a must for pushing snow. My 1864 got its first workout yesterday with our 6" of white death. I have very large weights(not sure of actual weight), v-bar chains, loaded tires, my 260 pound self and I still lost traction a few times. Only with a full blade of heavy wet snow. Still had plenty of power, just no traction. I couldn't imagine trying to do it without weights and chains. Would take me all day!

You got that right BassBlaste! Weights and chains are a must. I'll have them quickly.

FYI. I oil and store my chains in a seal able 5 gallon pail in the off (white) season. When I back tractors
into my barn, blade sits on a block of wood and I usually back up on 2 x's, wheels and chains off the floor. Drip, drip.

For most of this 6" white junque, I used another garden tractor. '85 416-8 16hp Kohler Wheel Horse.

Did you check the height adjuster stop? Maybe it's set so that it won't allow the plow to drop as far as it should. It's located on the back cover plate of the tractor. See red arrow in pic. turn lever counter clockwise as far as it will go but when you feel it stop don't force it any further or you'll bugger up the little bolt that keeps it from coming apart. If you remove the tunnel cover you can see how it works.

I'm willing to bet you hit the nail on the head Sam!

Only Cub Cadets to the rescue, again. Thank You Sir!

Tried the turn screw back of the Cub. Didn't work.

Sooooooooo, cut the lift rod (P/N 747-3088) and added 2" to the length (1/2" rod). Worked like a charm. Nothing hitting, plenty of height for overland travel. Blade drops down to the earth now, pushed snow easily.

On the deck in the barn while I'm "playing" with the Cub's lift. I had added 'bout 3" but then the blade was too low to travel properly. 2" is perfect. After adding the 2" the "dial-a-height" rear of Cub, works too!

I'm 'posed to be doing my chores while the Ms. is at wo....wo....work.

Years ago I loved but never owned, the red IH cubs.

As far as the new Cubs, I only saw MTD junque.

This '95 1641 changed my thoughts 'bout Cubs. Not the Home Cheapo models, the Cyclops are not the same. Nice 1641 but the yellow paint job, awful.

Sorry Sir, pic's will follow.

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.
