Default Does This Make My Rear End Look B I G !!??
I have never had trouble moving snow with the QL, but, I figured a little insurance never hurt!!

The weights were added because I had them setting around.







The weights rock back and forth a little when the blade goes up or down, but, that is not an issue,,,,,,,

The bracket was built to go on the sleeve hitch, but, I could not find the sleeve hitch!!

So, I just stuck the pin in the regular hitch hole,,,,,,,,,,,

The extra 170 pounds doubles my "tire squat",,,,,,

Get off your butt and find the hitch and when your done with that at least put some primer on the fenders.

lol. I have to say that exposed metal bugs me too (am also guilty of having a couple parts lying in the shop unprimed, maybe it hits too close to home) But that spare fender looks great!!

Like the weight setup. These tractors are intended to be used/modified/played with, no?

I find too much weight on the back though, and next thing I am wanting weight on the front - especially for a blade or heavy blower - otherwise the front end just pushes sideways. Will look forward to hearing how it performs!

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.
