My new (to me) sweepster
I've been wanting one of these for some time now but they've either been too far away, too much $$ or just worn out. My driveway is about 900' long and gravel, I'm hoping this will be able to rake the gravel from the snow plow out of the yard each spring.
This one is from a walk-behind model but it looks the same as one for a cub. I'm planning on using the gear box from a snow blower and an extra mule drive to fab the mount, unless I find one first.

Thanks guys, and yes it was a nice score. I got it for $100.00 so I think I did OK. I also picked up a pair of cast weights from the same guy for $25.00, not IH but nice and heavy (probably 50lbs each).
He's got some other goodies that I want to go back for when I get the cash (like a 54'' blade) . I got to wait a bit because I've been buying too many toys lately, like a little lathe that I hope to use for making bushings and what not.

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.
