A couple words of advice, keep all the u-joints and couplings tight on the shafts. Mine have a tendency to wobble a lot and shake loose. In fact if I have much more trouble with them I just might convert it to hydraulic drive.

And hang some weight off the back of the tractor, that will help a lot with steering.
Thanks for the great advice!! I've never owned or maintained one of these, but always wanted one. I passed on a MARS one for an original in very good condition about 3-4 years ago for $400--the only one I have ever seen. I like clearing leaves with this--a lot of fun! For some reason, I never considered adding weight to the back--duh!! Guess I was just too excited to have it that I didn't consider other possibilities....Thanks again for your tips.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think they are the 4 x 6's. They are Deestone's. I have two sets of them and two sets of the narrow front ags, but I have never mounted the ags....so I don't know anything about the handling of them. I hope to have them mounted soon--before winter.

Thanks everyone for your kind compliments. I cannot believe how much fun this sweepster is to operate. Working on installing the electric lift switch so that I can properly lift it from the seat. I paid the seller more than his asking price because his price was more than fair and he helped me install it on the tractor from his 1650, and that took some special work and about 2 hours, which sure makes me wonder why they call it a "quick attach".

Lucky dog!

A sweeper is on my short list of tractor gotta haves. I did find a Gannon Earthcavator, so anything is possible.

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.
