Thanks!, this is my first season with this machine and it has not seen snow before just been a grass mower. Put the 451 on, chains, 75lb wheel weights, loaded the tires and added the weight bar on the rear, it's been a dream!!

I bought a new battery (26R-3) for my 1863. The old one was getting weak last summer but I wanted to wait till spring to buy a new one. But, at the point where it wouldn't crank after being on the charger for a day I went to Walmart, had them check the battery (dead cell) and bought a new one. I've had the deck in the garage since fall when I sharpened the blades and greased everything but would like to get it back on the tractor and out of the way.

It didn't all happen today, but I adjusted the safety so the 169 would turn over. Then thanks to the information on this site and Matt G I tore the carb apart and replaced the head gasket after it blew. Wired the lights up too, but I need a new bulb. Oh and changed the oil and air filter. Now it's running like a top.

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.
