Default OCC is a bad influence...
I have been a member here for a few short months and have been informed that this website is a bad influence by my wife. You see, it all started with moving to a new house that has a 900' driveway and my Toro snowblower was not going to get the job done in a reasonable amount of time. So I searched Craigslist and stumbled on an Original Cub Cadet with a POS snowplow (homemade). This website has shown me that there are good quality parts out there, reasonably priced and still available with a little patience. So the search was on for a snow thrower (BB36) which was found 50 miles away for a song! I then realized that it is best to have a creeper for the thrower to work well (still looking!). Next was to replace the snow blade (spring-trip) (since a creeper was needed for the thrower to work well) which was found about 150 miles away and the guy met me half way for delivery New Years weekend. Now I am trying to talk her into having 2 or 3 machines for different duties (and at least one of them having the aforementioned creeper)...Oh the price one pays to be married and have hobbies!

I learned that once I get them home I let my son claim them! And when she brings up about wanting me to sell them all I do is tell her it's her job to tell him that he has to sell his tractor. Works every time!

Another trick I use is "it's for Todd not for me I'm just helping him get it running. He'll be up from GA to pick it up some time!" Works like a charm!

My angle on the discussion is that I do not want to have multiple implements laying around and have to take the time to take this one off and put that one on...it seems to be working; time will tell!

I have started telling my wife that Duke said I needed a particular item to make work easier. She is starting to reconsider his importance in my life.

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.
