Sam good question.
The cab was on a 782 when I bought it, and I have not tried it yet but I don't think it will fit on a Super without major modifications. I eyeballed it and it did not look like an option. I would be dang happy if I am wrong!!...and I am wrong a lot!

Who cares what the neighbors have? I am surrounded by Craftsman and some JD mowers but it doesn't bother me. My neighbor with the JD mower is always asking me how my IH cadet does with snow, and how hard it is to get a front blade attachment for his JD.
 He seems to enjoy it when he is hand shoveling his driveway and I drive over and have it done in a 1/3 of the time with the 147. To his credit, he went to a local Cub Cadet dealer and tried to buy a new one, but the dealer wouldn't give him a decent deal on it so he passed.

I agree with what's already been said. I've run a 450 on a 1811 and a 451 on a 1864. Both handled the blowers with ease. If you get a command 18 you can remove the throttle limiting screw and have a 20 HP. I defiantly noticed those 2 extra ponies last winter. I also learned last year to keep an extra blower belt the hard way!

When you think about the larger walk behinds in the 30" range and above, the biggest engine is usually a 12 hp. I remember when growing up, we had a 33" MTD with a 11hp Briggs. It was a beast. That 11 hp had to blow the snow and drive the wheels. Now running in a faster gear in thick heavy snow got her governor kicking in, but still had plenty to go. This was canada in the 70's. Lots and lots of snow.
So, having said that, an 18 hp would be plenty. Driving the rear wheels do not take much hp at all leaving a considerable amount for the blower.

2072 and the 450 were a match made in heaven. I used that set up for 3 winters. Should have never sold it.

Hey Shotgun that was a similar approach I tried in my head. I have a 10hp 29 inch walk behind that does a good job but 2 ft drifts are slow going and real common.
I figured the 450 alone is heavier than the walk behind, the cab is 100lbs, loaded wheels and weights close to 200lbs., I weigh 190, the additional 16 inches of blown snow, plus the drag of moving all of this. It sounds like the 18's have worked well for guys but I am leaning towards a 20. I have had guys tell me the 20's have a lot of bottom to them, but if the right 18 shows up the search could be over. Thanks again guys!!

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.
