I'm still trying to work out all of the issues with the snowthrower.
The discharge 'chute was very difficult to rotate. Took it all apart last week and found a lot of old lube and dirt clogging things up. So I cleaned it all, painted the parts that were beginning to look pretty corroded. Spread some super lube on the mating parts and reassembled. It rotates sweetly now. One of the QA pins was welded in crooked so I couldn't get one of the lock bolts in - it was just slightly off; just enough to keep me getting the bolt threaded in. Duly "adjusted." Also had the wear edge off. It isn't the standard edge; it's just a plate of steel. It was bent and worn and the bolts were ground down - had to grind a couple off. Bent it flat again, painted it and remounted it this weekend with a fresh edge down. Also adjusted the skids to allow 1/2-inch or so of clearance. Probably too low. I'm waiting for parts for the gear box, but I went ahead and put in the inner bearings and the seals. IMG_0723.jpg I had planned to mount some chains on the other tractor's rear wheels and swap 'em. They're 8.5-inch turfs and I thought they'd be better for snow duty if filled. They have tubes because they wouldn't hold air. Turns out they won't hold the tubes either; one of them is split right down the center of the tread. So I'll have to rethink that (or buy new tires.) I let some of the air out to avoid ruining the tubes.

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.
