Some more folks have been getting the lead out, we see! The sooner the winter gets here the sooner it can leave, and I can ramp up the 72 project. You know where I got the spring assist? Funny, because this is the first time I got it out since What a big improvement! Guess that's gonna put me still yet a year away from hashing out the hyd. pump restoration. The inside IH wheel weights I got from WildBill!

Thanks again!

Oh, where is the QA42A for that 169? Lol!
I'm glad you are happy with the spring assist! Makes a difference!

Now I' m ready!
Does your lift rod have a cotter pin or a quick release pin on it? If it's a quick pin you could just pull the pin and let the lever go back to "natural" position leaving the blade on the ground.

Nice, thanks for the idea ! You bet, I have the quick pin for the lift rod/lift arm connection! Like you, I don't think a good idea is having the spring stretched out full length while the blade rest on the floor.

o/t: I would like a power-angle, and a better blade some time! I had thought about some sort of a rope system, but then I cant lock the blade side to side. For most of the snow clearing work, I keep the blade angled right or the left depending on which side of the drive has the highest windrow of snow. Push down to the apron of the drive, back up to the top in reverse, and forward again. Clear the bottom of the drive by directing the pile right into the ditch.

Then I clean up top of the driveway turn around. Takes a little longer, and consumes more fuel but I have great seat time as the result. On bad snow accumulation days, I head over and clear a littler around my neighbors drive as she's a old widowed woman who lives alone. Her son was the one who gave me a right deal on the new tire chains this year.

Well granted it won't fully retract due to the bolt being tightened but it helps some. I'm not sure how much, never was an issue I thought about concerning myself with; have never seen/heard of these springs going bad or breaking, but anything to help prolong life has got to be a plus.

the 1772 will be ready. she got the glow plug mod , with new plugs and the qa42a thrower fitted to her. and 75 lb JD wheel weights

the 70 will be ready in the wings to pick up the slack the thrower leaves. the 582 is going to take a brake this year. she'll still come out and play.

the original and the 1650 are in 100 pieces right now. Im hoping the QL will get some snow time in , I picked up a push blade for it 2 weeks ago. Id hate to see it not get used.

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.
