1862 Follow-up
You guys are fantastic! Thanks for your ideas about my dead-in-the-water 1862! Sorry for not responding sooner.
Many of your suggestions seemed to focus on the drive shaft (or something connected to it). That’s where I’ll focus my troubleshooting. As of now, the old girl still sits in the driveway. Actually, it died right outside the garage entrance door, right between the two overhead doors and parallel to the house. I can still get both cars in and out. If it had to croak somewhere, it couldn’t have picked a much better spot. Just before it failed, we had a forecast of a multi-foot snowfall – that’s why I had it out for a test run in the first place. Since getting the Cub back from the dealer after the engine transplant, I found at least 10 things they did wrong, and I wasn’t sure I could trust it. Turns out, I may have been right. Weather-wise, we weren’t disappointed. We had 30” of heavy wet snow that night and the next day (March 14-15). Since then, several more snowfalls of up to 8 inches each. Ah, Springtime in the Rockies. So here it sits. I’d love to have it in the garage, but I can’t rotate it the necessary 90 degrees with the snow blower dragging on the unpaved driveway (dirt and rocks) and no good way to elevate it. Even if I could rotate the Cub, I don’t have good footing on the snow to push it into the garage (plus a concern about possible damage to the plastic grille and/or hood). Likewise, I can’t pull it in due to the combined weight of the tractor and snow blower. While I do have a hand winch, there’s nothing in the garage that I can anchor the winch to. Incidentally, I’ve been trying to find out how much the snow blower weighs. I saw estimates here of 150 to 175 pounds. That may have been true when I bought it 12 years ago. But now that I’m an old guy, it weighs at least 250 pounds – and it keeps getting heavier every year. My immediate plan is to leave it where it is until things warm up enough to melt the snow in the driveway, exposing bare ground. Then, I’ll manually remove the snow blower and my wife and I can manipulate the tractor into the garage. In the meantime, I’ll dig it out – again – try to start ‘er up, and remove the tunnel cover to have a look at the drive shaft and fan. That’ll tell me more than I know now. Thanks again for all the ideas! Jon |

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.
