Best of both worlds?
I had a old wheel horse with a plow that I used to plow snow with. Everything was mechanical but you could also change the angle with out leaving your seat.
So this past year I incidentally became a cub collector of sorts and I used my 782 with a 42in plow for snow just yesterday for the first time. I am really digging the hydraulic lift. However, as you all know, you have to get off the tractor to change angle. I learned yesterday that if I had to trade one for the other I am glad for the hyd lift as I raise and lower the blade a whole lot more than angling the blade. I was curious what you guys have done to get around this shy of hydraulics? The 782 is only single valve. Looking for ideas on how to accomplish the best of both worlds. Pics are great by the way Thanks, |

The 782 could be updated to a dual spool valve, run lines, and couplers, to the front of the tractor. Then you could use a Hydraulic Angle Kit.

The blade angle mechanism I built works great but I’ve since added front hydraulic remotes to my 129 so I no longer use the mechanism.

I do have an extra single valve from a 149 at my disposal. Would there be any promise in making that work for the hydraulic option? I am fairly hydraulic dumb, I know I really like hydraulics when they do what they are suppose to but it gets shaky quick after that. I dont even know what the valve looks like yet, sad state of affairs around here, let me tell ya.
With plow season upon me, I probably wouldnt do anything until after the snow is gone anyways... unless I could get motivated on my "other" plow endeavor involving a 1882 and a haban (no hydraulics) that was thrown in on a leaf vac deal. Now that is one of those "did that just happen?" deals that I completely stumbled into. |

Well... since I am closer than I thought to a solution what is this hydraulic angle kit that you speak of???

I added a 2 spool valve and plumbed it inline with the factory lift valve. My 129 is actually a 149 with a 12hp K301. That’s why it has the factory hydraulic lift. One spool goes to front quick connects and the other spool goes to rear quick connects.

Here is a picture of the (then) Hydraulic Angle Kit.

if you look at your "spool valve" it is attached to your steering column below the dash and it has hydraulic lines attached to it.
It has one "spool" (where the actuating lever linkage is attached) A dual spool has 2 spools or a double valve as it is sometimes called. if equipped from the factory, one would have 2 levers on the dash instead of 1. simple really. |

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.
