Default I fought the snow...

I fought the snow and the snow won.... Seems the snow was the winner vs the 784 w/a 54" blade.

OK I'll take back the operator abuse comment. It's a crappy design, I broke the same thing years ago on my 1210. Replaced it with the round handle from a cheap 1/2" breaker bar that just happened to be laying around. PITA to get it to line up but after the plow season was done I welded tube into the frame for a guide.

That happens when there is six inches of snow on the ground and you can't see a solid chuck of ice.....

Speaking of weird happenings, last week at work I was clearing the sidewalks, 2nd gear, 3/4 throttle or so. Going along like normal and apparently the sidewalk has a new heave in it. This, I didn't know. Long story short, it was such a heave that the blade caught it, tripped forward but instead of going over the bump and resetting like normal, it kept caught. Before I could get to the clutch and stop, the lift arm broke and the blade ended up under my front wheels with the front end about a foot or more in the air. Doh!

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.
