Nice purchase, btw!
Are you saying to drill out two new holes offset from the existing slots? You are correct, I have 1/2' carriage bolts. I guess your right about only needing two bolts per wheel instead of 4. It is so close that I was thinking I could grind it down with the angle grinder and grinding wheel. 8 would take a heck of a lot longer than 4 so maybe I will try to get two cut down and go from there.

Morning!

It was just another way I thought could be helpful. But, if you have a good, new cookie wheel then your way should work fine!

Good luck!!!

I did some grinding realizing that I only needed to get two bolts in to hold these weights on so that cut the time needed in half. I still need to take them down a little more but they work. Oh I sanded them down since they were so rusty, primed and painted them for some flare!


Quick questions....
1) The blade rear bars, they lined up better on the outside of the frame near the foot rests, should they be inside the frame? I should be able too flex them to the inside but I am not sure if it makes a difference?
2)To install the sleeve hitch, is there a panel that needs to be removed? The video I found online shows an install but mine looks like it has a cover panel.

Outside the frame, on the bars between the footrest and frame is where they should rest on.

Remove the back panel with the IH sticker on it. You will not be using that again if you leave the 3 point on.

Nice get
Can you get this bushing anywhere (HD, TSC, ACE, LOWES) or online?

I can make you one for cheap. It's a piece of 3/4" round with a hole that a 1/2" bolt fits thru and just slightly wider than the lift bar.

Thanks for the help so far on this one. I have a lot to learn about tractors and the mechanics of them. Its been too cold to tinker with it the past week. I have noticed that the LR tire is flat and will only hold air for about 2 days lately. They are Carlisle Turf Savers but I am not sure how old they are. They look pretty worn, hard and have some cracking.

I have been thinking about moving to the Carlisle Tru Power 23x8.5. Would the chains I have fit over the Ags? I would imagine so since they would be the same size tire but they just look meatier. As little as this thing will get used, I am not opposed to something cheaper. Also considering the use, I could just stick with newer turfs. I will primarily be moving firewood, using yard implements and plowing/blowing snow when we get it.

Those 4 link chains will jar the fillings out of your teeth after very long.
2 link chains would be much better.
I'd Keep an eye out for a set.

My two boys moved a lot of snow this past weekend, one has turf tires with chains the other with ags and they both do the same amount of pushing. I wouldn't bother putting chains on the ags especially if you fill them.

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.
