John "L",
I wouldn't align myself or the Cub Cadet with the Cubs. They are packin' their bags for home!
(Nice "Zig" though)

I have a O/T CCC 1050 that I noticed the front axle has two bolts that help keep the axle from "twisting". Is this something that could be aded to a 782? Looks pretty simple and the axle los the same too.

I have a CC 682 and am trying to get my ducks in a row before the snow starts flying. I have posted some questions before about a snow thrower (QA-42A). I also will pickup a used 54" snow blade this week.

Do I need to get the spring assist kit (190-528) for these attachments? Also, what is a snow blade adapter (190-377)??

Also forgot to ask another question. I need to buy some spare belts for my mower deck. I have looked through the cross reference charts in the FAQ, but found a few oddities in what I currently have.

I have a CC 682 tractor (S/N 704900) with a 44C mower deck (model #358 192 44C). Belt charts say this deck should be a 190-358. Why is mine a 192? The chart shows I need a 754-3071 PTO drive belt. The current belt on my mower is a CCC 754-3003A. What the heck is this belt? Which do I use?

Thanks again for your help!

This weekend I finally had a chance to put the front hook from Paul Bell's #409 on the front of #5814.

Kind of a nice way to scrape off the deck!

 

[aaytay]

Jeez...ya think I need new blades on that deck?!?!? Those things look more like steak-knives than mower blades!

DALE MERKLE - If WILSON G. hosts a plow day He better have a REAL good turnout if He hopes to get ALL His fall fieldwork done......

Maybe they'll have enough time to get some of Ron N's ground plowed too...

John L., nice job on your shop, those are the first I recall seeing of it after you got it done. I recall your concept drawings/photos of it. How about a couple photos that show more of it?

PointsSaver? Can somebody point me to information regarding this product and which vendor to buy it from? Does it help cold-weather starting and boost power output?

I've tried to search, but pulling up the results is very difficult at best. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the post I want to read keeps getting bumped down the page as embedded pictures load. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Check this out,
A lady here at work asked me if I would be interested in a plow (dozer blade) for a Cub. I said that I would and she brought it in today. It is a never been used complete setup for the bath tub series Cadet rider!! She asked me to make her an offer?!?!!? And I just got rid of my 55 and 60.

There was a post several weeks ago showing the difference between a narrow and wide subframe for a 42" International Blade or a least that's the way I remember it. Will the blade fit both a narrow and wide subframe? If someone will point me to the post I'll look at it again.

[kmcconaughey]

Bill, the blade will mount to the wide frame subframe, the QA narrow frame subframe or the bolt-on narrow frame subframe.

 

[sblunier]

Blades are NOT interchangeable between narrow frame QA and wide frame QA...subframes are different.

The narrow QA subframe will also work as a bolt on, but it won't work for the wide frame tractors.

 

[aaytay]

Steve-
I think Kraig is saying that the blade itself will swap to any blade subframe.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, yep! What I was saying is that this part:

Will mount to the various versions of this part:

 

[sblunier]

Misunderstood ya Kraig!!!!.........

 

[kmcconaughey]

Steve, better that you question me and be on the safe side so no one else gets the wrong idea. )
