lol they make it sound simple anyway

It is a simple hairpin put in a hole to retain the rear of the lift tube.  Now imagine doing that in the dirt or snow laying under the tractor with the parts too close to focus your eyes on them.

Maybe I should quit laughing at the Facebook people posting pictures of their tractors with blowers, weights, chains and snow cabs that they installed over the Labor Day weekend.

So another question...

 

I havent looked yet but according to the internet pulling the snowblower or other attachments off these  things is real easy.

 

Is this true? If its easy it would be nice to maybe use in other seasons for towing my little yard cart around. I usually use my quads but they tear the yard up lol

I think you should buy a second one for mowing and yard cart duties. 😉

It should treat you fine.  I have a neighbor who is a cub guy.  Had a 1050 and a 1650.  Both need major work.   I've tried to get him to take one of my Wheel Horse's, but the Cubs are easier for him to get on and off of.
