Here's another link to a vid I just made. Got a ton of snow here and it's still going strong

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh3i8IicME0

I had to replace the gearbox on the thrower as the original one is a bit tweaked. In the pic the smaller gear has a good bit of rotational play, 1/4-3/8" of play and is causing the gearbox to make a serious racket when under load. Took the gearbox off the cw36 and it works much nicer, although now I see a u-joint needs replaced on that

Did the driveway and it was nice to have a blower to loft the snow up and out of the way.

I also did a loop in the backyard to pull the kids around on their sleds with the tractor. It gives a good idea of the depth of the snow.

That tractor worked like a slave for 3 solid hours today with no complaints- best tractor I've ever owned (hopefully the only one I'll ever own).

Jude, You gotta go instructional on those vids - Real steady on the cam, just need to put in a bit of narration for us rookies! Do you get night blinded by the reflective light?

SD - Now that's what I call a real clean way of getting the job done - a great pic with those buildings in the back!

Thanks hilltop! lol, I'd do a little narrating, but don't think you can hear me over the tractor/thrower, without me looking like a complete fool yelling!! I love movin the snow at night, prefer it to the day. I'd be out there right now, but it's so peaceful I don't want to raise a rukus

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.
