Default Caution reminder
I wanted to share my recent accident and remind everyone to use extreme caution when handling wheel weights. While rigging my hoist to lift one of my 90 lb rear wheel weights, the weight slipped and caught my right little finger between the chain and the weight. The result is a severely crushed finger at the joint closest to the fingernail, and the nail was nearly torn completely off.
This happened in an instant. The doctor said the nail will eventually grow back, but I'll probability loose the mobility of the joint. PLEASE! Everyone BE CAREFUL handling heavy objects. One split second of carelessness almost cost me a finger.

I had a pick axe head get loose on a handle once, slid down the handle and broke my thumbnail off. OUCH! Mom wasn’t proud of the words I said. Anything with smashing fingernails and fingers isn’t ever good, but thanks for the safety reminder, and hope for a speedy recovery!

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.
