My 1806 performed great, it ran smooth and had plenty of power, but as I mentioned in the Montrose Plow Day Thread the plowing conditions were very nice. I do believe I'll find a 102 or 122 rear and stick it under my 1806 to have a bit faster 2nd gear(19 tooth versus the 17 tooth). I don't need to be as fast or faster than everyone else with their hydros, it seems there's always someone who thinks faster is better. I just don't want to be the slow guy out there.
I had put a used clutch in this, along with trueing up the clutch plates, it does slip a little bit. When or if I tear it down to repaint I'll install install a better clutch system, maybe a aftermarket kevlar clutch or something.
I barely had enough weight on the land wheel or the left rear tire, I'll either add some fluid into the tube or add some weight. if the plowing conditions were harder I would have spun this left tire a lot.
I'll also take Steve Bluniers advise and install an adjustable carb off a KT-17 motor.
Overall this is a smooth running Cub, easy to steer, comfortable to drive. A few more things to fix repair or replace and I'll have a very nice Plow tractor.
Although a hydraulic lift would be nice. I'll have to scratch my head and think about this for a while.
I parked it in my shed after the plow day and have not looked it over for any loose bolts, etc. since this plow day.
