Morning gang!
Whew, we got dumped on again yesterday. About another 8" of snow accumulation, and the temperature is around -10* at the moment,....
Went to my local Cub Cadet dealer and picked up an engine oil change for my 1450. Got two quarts of 10w-30 Cub Cadet oil that came in a bag! Got the oil changed in the 1450 and started up fine and cleared the drive way before retiring to bed last night.
Charlie, your customer has a nice red narrow frame going on! Amazing SS cast iron-end mower deck is beyond cool!
Hydro Harry, Must be those narrow frame gear drive garden tractors that have the raised tunnel cover that can have cracked corners along the bottom of the dash tower due to the clutch yoke mounting location. But not all or every have this problem.
Now, my model 100, 71, and 72 do not have those related problems, yet they are all narrow frame, all-gear drive garden tractors, respectably. My model 72 has a real nice, better than stock, clutch yoke with a grease fitting.
I love my hydro 1450! But if I were to attend a plow day, it would be with an all-gear drive IH Cub Cadet. No foaming Hy-Tran here, and the mechanical energy transfer system is the stronger of the two!
On another note, going to the folk's house to fire up the model 72 and clear that drive!
Dress warm guys if your out today!
