LOL! OK, OK....
I'm actually sitting here taking a break. Been "cubbin'" all day. Sheered the sheer pin on one of the augers twice today, second time it ripped the auger tube. Ordered a new auger from CC, $128. Could probably fix it, but the auger is pretty beat up, so I'll replace it, fix the old and save it for a spare. Then, the snow got too wet and was just packing the augers full and wouldn't feed.... So, back to the shop to put on the blade. Then had to fix a truck for a customer. Back to work on the cub. Had to make a new lift rod for the blade, flip the cutting edge and readjust the skid shoes. Ok, got that done, now its dark and I still have to clean one more lot, then mine....... and now it's cold enough to use the blower again, so I just wasted time getting the blade on. Oh well, now it's ready to go. Think I'll just keep it on for tonight.

Anyways, here's some pics from today!

Here is the blade I picked up earlier this fall from Nickster, and the adjustable lift rod I made today. I already had a blade for the 1811, but I'm going to put it on the 125..... hopefully this weekend Yeah, I threw the weights back on too.

I AGREE! That's what the 125 is for...... when I get time to put it together Have all the parts, but the snow beat me this time. Be ready next go around!!

Edited Note: I want my cab on too! Didn't have the time after fixing the rear end leak last night to put it on. I'm gettin' too old for this cold and wet crap.

Thanks! Well, I made it adjustable because of putting it on different tractors, and because I need more flex to the low end pushing snow because of un-level drives, but when moving rock, I'd rather it lift higher. So, that said, right now it lifts between 4-4.5" but I think I could get just above 5" out of it. I also have it in the lower lift hole because I didn't want to take the blower lift rod off.

Ya know, I look forward to moving snow...... till it gets here. Then it gets wet and slushy, and cold..... then it gets old and sucks. Or you work late clearing just for it to snow all night and have to do it all over again in the am.

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.
