Let's See How You Get Your Cub Snow Ready?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here is a picture of my 123 with some of its winter attire. Still need to mount my soft cab and chains (maybe??) on it. I ran it tonight for the first time in almost a year and had to put a cap full of fuel injector cleaner in the tank to get the lines cleaned out. After she fired up, I noticed it was a little stiff in the joints until I ran it around the yard some......Now let's see your cub with its snow shoes on!!!

my 127
 
here is my 1969 Cub Cadet 127. Has brand new 23x10.5 tru powers, new front ribs, 42" plow. Just painted the hood, seat, rims, and I am about to take that junk walbro carb off and put the correct #26 on there.

Looks like we're running the same tread JaysNJCub127!!! Can't beat a winning strategy.

Great action photos Wild Bill. Two quick questions: 1) Why do you have your front ags mounted backwards? I have a set of front narrow ags that I haven't had mounted yet and I was wondering if there was a reason for mounting them backard. 2) Do you ever load your bucket up with salt? I have thought about mounting a salt spreader on back but didn't know what that would do to my tires.

Love that 1282, I think I want a red one !!!

juniors1282 11-07-2010 10:22 PM

Thanks, I think you need a red one to. I think everybody should have at least one maybe two. This one won't be the last, I hope the next one is bigger and has a 9 in the model number. I also run my front ags backwards to plow also. They work much better that way.

At the time I bought them, there were no such things as '3-4 rib' tires made in the 16-6.50-8 size. The AGs are WAY BETTER than turf tread, or the stock 'smooth rib' tires.

2- I have never loaded the bucket with salt. I have a totally gravel driveway, so the salt isn't needed.

Here are some pictures of the bracket that the bucket mounts to.

Got the rebuilt 450 on my 1862. Need to do an oil change and lube and may look at getting a set of backward ags for the front (per Wild Bill) since my turfs are pretty worn. I'm looking forward to putting it to work.

since you just said "Cub" and not IH Cub.... here's my 2544... I didn't have an IH snow ready last year, and probably won't this year. However, the new stuff is fun to push 2.5'+ with!! Considering I'm the neighborhood "guy" I get to mow about 7 yards in the summer and plow about 7 in the winter... I have a bunch of extremely nice widows all around me. Needless to say the GT2544 was a year old in June and it has 150 hours on it as of today!

I've got a pair of Carlisle All-Trails loaded in about 72lbs each. 4x42lb suitcases and me (200-215lb, depending on the week. :)) I've put my electric sleeve hitch on since last winter, so I've lose use of my weight bracket.... I now have the custom wheel weights with anywhere between 10-75lb extra per wheel. I'd still like to fab up some kind of bracket I could throw 1 or 2 suitcases on and still have the sleeve hitch...

AWESOME Pics everyone!

ACecil 11-09-2010 12:09 PM

I agree, with Duke! Enjoying the pics! :ThumbsUp:

Cub Cadet 123 11-09-2010 08:06 PM

Great to see the cubs donning their winter apparal. Maybe I should host a Winter CubFest at my house so that anyone without snow can enjoy the fun and dig me out at the same time!!!

_DX3_ 11-10-2010 06:26 PM

Isn't it nice to have more than one Cub to be able to choose which is needed for a particular need? :) Wish I had a driveway that was plowable. LOL

Cubcrazy 11-10-2010 07:06 PM

I don't have pictures of my snow crew, but I have the 123 ready with a 42 inch snow blade, wheel weights, suitcase weights, chains and lights. I also have one of my 104s ready with a box blade, though I need weights and chains for it.
