Just got in from plowing our shared private road. Just 4"-5" of light powder. The 1872 super will move out pushing snow down the road. Unfortunatly I was moving pretty good along the edge of the road when I hit a mound of frozen dirt I had peeled up last time I plowed when it was wet. Just about launched me. Did I mention it's about 16 degrees here right now? That mound of dirt might as well been solid concrete. I shattered the lift arm off the end of my rock shaft. I had to finish plowing with the plow down and no way to lift it. Got it back in the garage and took a look. That pie shaped piece of 3/8" plate steel was hanging by a thread. Guess I know what I'll be doing this week. It's supposed to snow again next week. I think I may remove 2 of the 4 HD springs on that 54" haban plow as it doesn't give much. I'd rather have it flip over a little to easy than not easily enough.
Here is the pics of the lift arm on(or off) the rockshaft. Before as it should be. ![]() ![]() What's left of it. ![]() Where it used to be attached. ![]() |

Man...that sucks!! I bent up one of my undercarriage mounts on mine because I forgot to unlock the pin on the plow and it didn't trip when I hit about the same thing!

squatch:
I feel your pain. Done that once. Now when that happened, it rivaled a ride at Cedar Point......:biggrin2.gif: Lucky for me......all that happened was that I bent the Sub Frame. Was fortunate enough to pound it back into shape.

Got a better look today. I thought maybe I had just busted the weld between the arm and the shaft. Ha, see the last picture above. I shattered the end of the shaft. It broke off at a 45 degree angle and is still attached to the arm. Can you say good weld penetration. That's gonna be a PIA to get that stub out. Not much to grab and I'll bet it's rust welded to the rock shaft in the middle of the frame. I'll probably have to drill and tap it and use some pipe sections and big washers as a puller. Pull it out by tightening the bolt I tapped in.
Yeah got a little more than a dusting but it was light and fluffy because it was so cold. It's what's under that snow that bugs me right now! |

There must have been a crack near the weld in the end of the rockshaft.
That's not a stub shaft...that goes all the way through the rockshaft to the other side of the frame. Can you remove the fenders and weld the arm back on without disassembling it? If it's anything like any rockshaft I have dealt with, you will not be able to pull it out by tapping a hole in it and threading in a bolt. The last one I took apart would not budge in a 20-ton hydraulic press, and had to be heated in a fire to free it up. |

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.
