My 1st winter with a Cub to move snow taught me a few things....
1) When you get 16" of snow at once (New Years 1998/99) and 40 mph winds a 129 w/42" blade will not get you to the end of your drive without SERIOUS work (took 4 hours to break through to the road 80' away, and even then it took the neighbors loader tractor to finish the job.....the wing on the maintainer was level with my mail box out at the road and he pushed a big windrow off the end of it....ramming speed was required!!!!
)
2) Manual lift SUCKS!!!
3) Std. blade lift rods bend when you push up big piles of snow.
The next July I made a trip to Don Vogt's place for a complete 1450 hyd. lift and also ended up with an almost mint QA-36B......best $300 I spent on a Cub!!!! (but it looked kinda funny driving down the road on 4th of July weekend with a snow thrower in the truck!!!!)

Pat K-
Yes, that plug has to come out to get the pinion shaft out.
You can see that this one was replaced when I had to take this tranny apart. (notice there is no paint on the plug.) I think I just popped a hole in it with a punch and a hammer, then pried it out with a small pry-bar.
Here's why I took the tranny apart.
Why do you need to pull the pinion shaft out anyway? I hope it's not just to "clean" it?
Steve B-
You really need to get a 2-stage blower for that 782 of yours. It will turn that pea-shooter into fully automatic .50 caliber weapon!
BTW....I like the rear-light you have there. I may have to do that to my own snow-cannon.

Art,
The .50 cal full auto comes AFTER the full auto POWER STEERING!!!!
But first I have to get a 982 axle w/trailer hubs and PS under my loader tractor, before I tear up some more front wheel bearings.....

Ok, Kendell, I didn't have a dirt bike; which is the 'correct' way to put a master chain link on?

Like KentucK said....
It only takes one walk, pushing a Yamaha DT1 through the sand for a mile or so, to burn it into your memory...
Post edit .... That would be the direction of travel of the <u>chain</u>, not necessarily the bike (or Cub)

I has been over 4 years since I rebuilt the front pto clutch on my 100. Since day one I knew I didn't do it right because the clutch would slip in thick grass. I was always hoping it would eventually "seat in". Today I took the entire front end apart, removed the clutch, took it apart and checked everything. Couldn't find anything wrong. In fact, it looked great after 4 years of use.
I put the whole tractor back together, stood back, scratched my head, and figured out the problem.
Not gonna tell what it was (someone here surely knows already), but the 100 will kill itself before those blades stop now!
A fun few hours of wrenching on the Cub today anyway.....

Don:
You finally looped the belt UNDER the mule drive pulleys? Umm - you freed up the idler arm/tensioner on the desk? Couldn't have been negative clearance on the throwout button - it wouldn't last 4 hours, let alone 4 years - right? You tightened up the blade nuts on the spindles?? OK, somebody else's turn..

Aaytay; Thanks for the pics. I had to tear things apart to get at the internal brakes. The piston was froze up and I could not get it to move from the front. I am in the middle of a restoration on my 782 and took the oppurtunity to fix the brakes while the tractor was in pices. Hope to get it back together in the next month or so. Thanks for the help, have a good new year!
