Default Are you prepping?
As bad as we all don't want to hear it (ok maybe some do) there is a reason the next 4 months all end in "ber." That being said, have you thought and/or started your winter prep yet?

I've started prepping my front blade for the 147. Last winter beat up on the paint job I had put on it during the summer so that needed to be touched up. Next week I have to order some new skids because it wore through them. I'm not looking forward to stopping mowing and pushing snow but I know it's coming sooner rather than later.

Are you starting this winter crap again? You did it last year and look at how that turned out. I was in the pool today, if we get early snow it's your fault Danny Boy.

Cubs are easier to winter prep

I'm ready all year long. I have an old Sears GTV16 with a nice plow, weights and chains. That all it does and it's dressed like that all year.

I have been putting my worker 1862 back together, just bought new ag tires for the front (hoping they grab better for steering) Next on the list is making a subframe for the front blade. I used a 5' 3 point on the back last year, and it did the trick, but it sure would be nice to push snow sitting right on the seat.

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.
