With the correct amount/type of clothing, no cab is required.

True, they say you can always put more cloths on. I would rather wear shorts and sweat!
I thought about the wife thing too.

I appreciate the kind words fellas. They are a fun pair of tractors, each has it's own set of characteristics.

Everyone seems to love the 782D, and understandably so. It looks nice up close...and absolutely awesome from 20 feet away pushing a bladefull of snow. With the combination of knobby rear ags and tall cab, it's a tractor that you want to drive slow and creep around in (with the throttle up of course haha), or it will get to rocking side-to-side. Bought the tractor out of Michigan about 8 years ago...found the IH cab for sale up in Minnesota. The concrete weights were included with a 149 I bought from PF Engineering out of Mass. Not sure exactly how much they weigh, but I know they are quite a bit more than an Olympic 45lb plate...I'd guess they are in the 80-90 pound range.

The little yellow IH has some serious grunt and will really scoot along! It is a mixture of parts. I've always liked the classic look of a 100, but preferred to use a hydrostatic transmission. So about 9 years ago I bought a nice 123 from Steve Blunier Sr, and installed the grill, hood, and pan seat from a parts tractor 100 that I'd won on eBay. Everything bolted right up, I don't remember drilling a single extra hole. As for an engine, it's got a 14hp from a 147, for which I notched the frame and welded up some reinforcement. If I had to do things over again I think I would use the 147 frame and drivetrain, and swap the 123 dash onto it. I'd imagine it would bolt up directly, and there wouldn't be any need to cut or notch anything.

The weight box is something my teenage sons whipped up with their grandfather. For support, they used a "T" bar that I had welded up for an earlier project, and built a platform on top of it. It was an easy task for them to do together, and they appeared to have a fun time doing so. In the box are 4 bags of "tube sand" that are 70 lbs each.

Oh, and I haven't been able to get my wife to push snow with the tractors, so she's not in the cab! Although she has sat in them for photos, she hasn't actually operated them......yet

Here's a couple videos she shot

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.
