Over the weekend I took them all out of hibernation for a ride and pictures. All but the two with plows, 125 and 1450, have been sitting since November. Only one dead battery on the 126. The rest started right up.
No pictures, but I plowed Sunday and Tuesday with the 125. I tried on Monday too, but there was too much, had to use the truck. A snowblower would have been nice. We had about 18-20 inches. I’m all out of places to push it, and they are saying we may get another storm over the weekend.

Today I decided to tackle the frozen choke and throttle cables. Took the throttle control off the inside of the tower (two round head machine screws with nuts and lock washers inside) and found that the cable jacket unscrews from the throttle lever assembly. (which means a replacement would need to be the exact same diameter and thread pitch) so I pulled the inner cable out, clamped one end in the vice and pulled some 320 sandpaper to clean it up. Then flushed the inside with wd40, and pb blaster, then poured graphite powder in the end and pumped some engine assembly lube. Also coated the inner cable itself after fixing any bends. For the choke, I had to straighten the zee bend at the carb with plyers to yank it out. I wasnt about to try and get the backer nut off the choke way inside the tower. Did the same procedure, and remade the zee bend after the inner cable was back in.
They both work again great but not sure how long this kind of fix will last tho...

I will also add that when I have cables with no coating on them I always put shrink tube on them to seal them shut so moisture stays out and the lube stays in.

I plowed the snow on my driveway with my cc169, never had to use even 1/2 the throttle.
I will be installing a set of 2in wheel spacers , this will give me 4 additional inches of wheel track in the rear. Also I discovered that my reverse is as fast as my forward. Not good. Have to get under the frame and see what is going on with the linkage.

But speaking of the tunnel cover, I noticed that the bolts that hold it on were somewhat loose, I looked at the screws (somewhat fine thread, closest thing I could find was 12-24. But it just seemed like the wrong screw, so I made the bold move to tap those holes with 1/4-20 and Im glad I did. The cover holds down like it was meant to and 1/4-20 is a standard ubiquitous bolt.

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.
