The folks who built these things back in the day probably had no idea their creations would be so carefully refurbished and still working this hard in 2013. That thing looks like you just brought it home from the dealer.

Very nice, those 1650's and 54 inchers are a great combination

My old 1450 did a great job - until just as I was cleaning up the parking area, the lift control lever broke - snapped right at the linkage - under the panel. Can't get to it until I pull the panel.

But had a good night on our 125-yard gravel driveway. Cathy got on the way to work safely. Hope it doesn't snow any more tonight...

I also put a short and shaky video up on Youtube - http://youtu.be/J4ya9ekf_ZE
Like the snow pic!

I like the idea of plowing in the dark. Looks like a fun time. Great picture. Are you using any wheel weights?

Pushing in the dark is just about as much fun as it is during the day. I came home from my folk's place (helping dad clear out with his Farmall H and rear blade) to 6-8 inches on my driveway. Fortunately it was the powdery stuff. I put on a rear light this year and it really helps to see what you left behind. The snow was pushing so well it was rolling over the top of the blade.

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.
