Wow! Didn't know I could stir up so much trouble!! If you look at the pic I included you'll see the pulley with the "keeper" pins (keeps the belt on the pulley) is so out of place that the belt would have rubbed on the pins. I was also wrong when I got the belt looking at the Cub Cadet 450 snowblower booklet that I downloaded from here. Found out out just how wrong the book was! Oh and by the way... the the kit isn't really necessary (the super lift links). I installed them and the tractor wouldn't lift the blower off the ground even with the lift arm fully extended... So I had to shorten the lift links all the way up to what the length of the Garden tractor links were! The only thing I can really see useful is the carriage bracket extension. Anyway, I appreciate the help and confirmation!

Hey Todd! I've got most of the cab mounted on the 982... just need a few more things added and it will be done! PM, email or text me if you're talking about what I think you are!

Do you have your upper links in the lower holes as shown? I've seen people add the extensions to use the blower on a Super and forget to also lower the upper links.

Are we talking the pivot link? If so, then yes! The PO had the pivot links where they attach to the blower in the upper holes for some reason but I moved everything back as suggested in the mounting instructions...

So next problem with this setup... I put a sims cab on, the 982. The shoot crank isn’t long enough. Now what?!?!

Darrel,

This pulley looks to be a 4" pulley. They should both be 6" pulleys. If it is smaller than the other, that will cause belt issues. Need to be the same.

On the chute rod, you can do 2 things:
1.) Make a longer one
2.) Convert the chute control to electric.

Yes, it’s actually 5” but is supposed to be 6”. So far it hasn’t effected the belt.

So, there isn’t a kit or any suggestions for the length of my crank handle? Right now I’m thinking of cutting it off and welding about a 3” piece in so it will extend into the cab far enough. The support rod may get extended as well but I’m not to excited about trying to extend the hollow pipe!

There is no kit, as a Sims cab was additional equipment and not IH made.

You say the smaller pulley doesn't affect the belt, but it does, and the tensioner isn't as tight as it should be because the pulley is smaller, therefore the tensioner spring is taking up the slack, so less tension on the belt.

I had to make a different rod when I went to a cab on my 1811. I just took the whole assembly off, then removed the control rod at the u-joint. I made a new bracket to hold the lower half of the rod, and ran a new control rod into the cab. Instead of a channel for it to raise up and down in and leak air, I went through a single hole. The rod just slid in and out of the hole when raising and lowering, and would pivot at the u-joint.

The bracket I made can be removed and the original installed. Pretty easy to build. Hope you can see it. My cab is a Cozy Cab, and the lower clear areas is plexiglass. You can just make a plate that goes over the slot in your cab, and drill a hole in the plate. Way better than the slot in my opinion.

Okay, some great ideas! I’ll try a few different mock ups and figure it out. Thanks! This the only other pic I have at the moment... I’ve got lots of wiring to finish up yet. I really dislike electrical!

Hooking up lights I assume? Windshield wiper?

I never got around to putting lights on the cab. I have lights on the fenders when the cab isn't installed, so it's not like I have to really do anything other than bolt them to the cab and plug them in. Now that LED's are getting cheaper, I'll probably go that route. One of these days, I'd like to have enough running machines the cab can just stay on the 1811 all the time. Real PITA pulling it on and off. I haven't put in on in a couple years.

Yes, the PO had 6 lights on it plus the windshield wiper. Thankfully all the lights are LED otherwise the charging system/battery couldn't keep up! I may not hook all of them up as it seems to be overkill in my mind. What's even more of a challenge is making someone else's wiring "mess" work!

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.
