weaverama, nice work and I'm no expert but what JayBrd's saying makes sense.

Well I "worked" on the Original today for 3-4 hours. Replaced s/g, voltage regulator and most of the wiring as I was frying headlights and now all is good:biggrin2.gif:. Then went out to plow driveway and one of the chains broke so it was back into the shop. Was going to put another set on and then had the bright idea to put the ags that I just got on, what a mistake that was. I didn't have chains on them and thought they might do ok, lol, they spun like crazy and I had virtually no traction!! So it was back into the shop and instead of just replacing broken chain on original wheel, I took the wheels off the 71 and mounted them on the O', they have 2 sets of weights on each wheel and the chains were setup much better and wow, they work alot better than just having one set of weights on!

Can't run chains on the ags either, not on the Original anyway, they'll hit the fenders.
Once I plow the drive a few times it is ice and chains is the only way. Good shots of the "O in work detail! I like in original paint too! I had a chain that broke so for a buck at TSC, I bought a link and fixed it that way. My chains rub on the inside fender a bit, guess it is the nature of the beast.

Default On to a new home...

Sminkey,

That "O" looks great! Sometimes I wish we had enough snow in these parts to get out the plow. I've only been able to plow snow one time, and I had a blast!

Pulled the 1650 out to change the tires and dust it off for the new owner. Still pretty dirty, but too cold to wash it!

Really hate to see this one go down the road. Never thought I'd sell it...

Had to haul a wheel chair for Jenn. I just had to have some seat time...lol!

Check out the tow ball, now I can pull my big trailer. It's nice to be able to keep the ball on, and still use my attachments!

Allen, the 100 looks good as always. You'll look for any excuse to get some seat time in won't ya? Haha

Today, I finished up the 3-point on the 126 and had to try it out. I put the grader blade on and scraped the 2-3" of snow off the concrete in front of the garage. It did good considering it has turf tires with no chains or weights. I did have a couple concrete landscaping blocks in the box under the seat (roughly 20-30 lbs). I definitely need a spring assist on there. My right arm was getting tired using the "Armstrong" method. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

Thanks Steven! I was getting a little cranky last month cause we weren't getting any snow, well the month of January has made up for that! The past 3 weeks almost everyday there was measurable snow:biggrin2.gif: Hopefully have a good storm brewing for thursday here. Letting go of the 1650 will just allow you to replace it with 2 more cubs:biggrin2.gif:

Allen, looking good and any excuse is a good excuse for some cub time!! I'm having dreams about duallies too

Lew, good work, being seen is nice, I get some good stares from people when I'm out on the cubs.

Adam, can't wait for the pics, really like your work too

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.
