A word of advice for those who don't know... DO NOT use chains on asphalt driveways. It gouges the asphalt... DUH.. I put all this work in my driveway b4 winter, then ruined it when I plowed with chains. But we got 12 inches of snow in St Louis this year. Which we do not normally get. Usually we get 3 to 6 inches and I plow with the dual ags. But I switched to the 10 inchers with chains and ruined my driveway. Now I gotta redo it... DUMAS...LMAO but not funny...

Timothy,

Good to see another St. Louis guy on here! I thought me and Keith O had run of the place. I have asphalt, but my 23x10.5 Firestones from Millers and 2 IH weights per side were all I needed.

I've really been meaning to post these: Back from a week or so ago when we had that 12". Great Night plowing!

It's just what you see. not are NOT filled. Yes I did the whole road up the slight hill too.

It was F.U.N.!!

TIMOTHY T. - You push snow with DUALS? You have to have a blade 60 inches wide to do that!

I guess you could have waited until the foot of snow melted.

My chains on my #1 snow mover scratch my concrete drive, but after 15+ yrs I know the scratches will all be faded by mid-summer.

I've tried moving snow on my drive without chains, tried to save the two hours to mount chains that weigh over 200 pounds each. I can't even drive up the slope of my driveway if there's snow on the concrete. With chains I can push an eighty inch wide blade 1-1/2 ft tall FULL of snow up the drive and across the road.

I'd consider installing a concrete drive this summer.

So I get the new curved arms painted and installed this afternoon, greased the bearings and installed my 'infinitely adjustable' chain lift, get the motor started, then after getting the vehicles moved, jump on the seat and hit the switch. Snapped the chain. Great. Wait till tomorrow to stop at Edwards

Brian,
If I recall right the guy you bought that from said " If it was mine I would replace the drive chain before I tried to use it" (HAHAHA) But I have also bought something and wanted to use it so I know how you felt. Jim

I don,t know if this is allowed but I,m wanting to refurbish my 108 and I could use a manual to take the deck off and other things ? If anybody has one they could send me please let me know [email protected] thanks

Daniel B - if you want a paper copy of a manual to use with your 108 you should probably posted in the Wanted section of the Classifieds. If all you need is an electronic copy (pdf file) then go back to the main tab marked IH Cub Cadet Forum above and scroll nearly to the bottom of the list of threads, and you'll see one marked MANUALS. Click that tab and you can select manuals for just about an IHCC tractor or implement. Or you can just use this link to it: https://www.ihcubcadet.com/cgi-bin/discus/board-auth.pl?file=/217124/217124.html&lm=1291125941
