Best tricks/tips for installing your mower deck or snow blower
It seems when ever I change from my mower deck to my snow blower or blower to my mower on the 1863 it can be a pita. I have learned some tricks every time I do it but today when installing the blower I wondered if the guys who have done it for years may have some tips to make life a little easier?

I found that its just easier ( and better) to just have one tractor for each job

 I can understand. As you get a "tad" older, that implement seems to get a tad heavier and more awkward to install. I have used jacks to help. I am working on a design to make it easier to install my front dozer blade. Seems like that is getting to be a task for me in the last few years...either that or my patience is getting shorter.........OR....maybe all of the above. But, I am sure there are other ideas out there. I too, have a dozer blade on one Cub and a snowthrower on another.

Yes age does come into play and it is. I find I'm not as cocky as I once was and a little more humbled by things that used to be very easy.LOL. The best trick I found for both is to be on a level surface, for the deck have a good floor jack to raise the back of the mule drive while lifting and positioning the front onto the pins and to raise the front of the tractor to slide the deck under. For the blower I found the best trick is when parking it at years end to block under the brackets at the pining section and drive out and when the snow flies the next year just drive back in. I know it is fairly easy but there always seems to be something that doesn't go just as planed. Now if I can just remember what part of my a** I put the pins and keys when its time to change back
 Are there any more useful tips anyone has found that work well?

I am with you guys on that age problem. Once I learned about the stand feature on my QA42 it has gotten reasonable. Just a 2x4 is enough to set the height if tire pressure is up. Deck for me is somewhat of a pain with the belt tension. But my real test is with the blade on the 782. Keeping the hanger in while putting the QA in is near impossible. Lot of cursing when the hanger falls out yet again. That I may make a stand for or add length/ retainer to the subframe part of the blade.
Braun is long gone. At least you guys have the brains. lol

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.
