Thanks! I suspect it will be mean with a 12" plow!



I have 3 bare wide frames that were gear drives. I can get the lever from one of them.

My first Cub Cadet was a "148" built from a 86, and I tried everything except a new spring to keep that clutch hooked up!!

The clutch would just slip in third gear. Very disappointing build.

I did ask a lot of that tractor though,,,

It may have been due to my fluid filled tires, lots of inertia to overcome.

My QL 1000 will do more than the 148 would do.


Interesting...maybe a 1806/582, or even a pulling spring.

Will defiantly have to look into putting a heavier spring in it. And thanks! Always have thought it would be cool to try it!
