this has been something that I've been searching for an answer to for pulling. I shim the spiders, there's a point you can go to and still have a differential and they tend to hold longer before you eventually 1 wheel. for several years I've been looking at everything from a posi to limited slip to an air locker. then I start to think about traction control . in a way some form of air locker would be nice to get off the starting line and then be able to release it . someday I'll finally decide which way to go

I said pullers, but you can't feel any binding while turning. i saw one break free last pull. Any upset of the apple cart at the end of a pull (high wheelie,leaning wrong,soft hole) will break one free. Believe me i know posi, i've got a welded chrysler in one. You can't turn it around in a barnyard, turns better going backward. Mike

I'd like to hear more of this line of thought if someone has experience to lend. I'm totally OK with smoking shims every year or two for "posi". I'm asking from the regular GT owner perspective and I know what the difference between a welded spider, a posi, a mechanical locker (air or other wise), and open is since I own one of all in the automotive world. Feel free to contrast/compare.

If Don doesn't know, or have answers, I doubt anyone else will. He's been pulling/building pullers, as long as I've been alive.

Baaa!! That's not what I wanna hear!

If Don were to revert as "just a dude" I'd like to hear what he has to say... It's seldom that the experts are speechless, even if he tells me to run it up my own back side.

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.
