Yes, it is real easy to work with. It even comes in reclosable containers so you can keep the remaining epoxy for future uses.
I have had mine for 5 or more years, and it's still good.
It is really reasonably priced too!

Blast from the past.

well I made my own lift bar out of 1/2 pipe and threaded rod for my qa36a blower but I did not like it because it keep bending from the axle pivot so had an extra lift frame for a mower deck laying around cut one side of the frame rail off the curvy side then cut to size and drilled a new hole to mount to my lift bracket works great guys

Sam C - I like the somewhat "S" shape of your lift "bar" (replacement rod) but I'm wondering if you're using your "float button" on your lift handle? It looks like your tractor is a 147 converted to manual lift. If you allow the manual lift to lock one of the detent settings then the only thing that can give is either the lift bar you made or something on the frame of the thrower. It's important to use the float position so the thrower can move up/down on the surface, and help avoid bending things up.

I always use the float, my driveway is not exactly even it has more room for travel up and down hasn't touched the front axle yet I have an 1-1/8" clearance lifted up or down

I hope this guy isn't a member of the forum, cause he's proof that an idiot can't destroy a Cub Cadet!

That DA needs to tighten the belt on the PTO.

Here is a rather good video of how the rear differential works. This is good for new-beez

WOW, I wouldn't even want to try and bust up that ICE pile with a blade, let alone a thrower.... Might have some luck moving it with "BRS".... but I forsee a replacement of parts in the near future if that keeps up.........

I thought they were called a Snowthrower, not an ice thrower......

 

[digger]

I'll bet Paul F. is cringing seeing the name the guy used on the video!

 

[nbodin]

If only those old cub cadets could talk! Imagine the horror stories they could tell. Some of them you look at you just ask yourself what the f.

 

[pfunk]

Thanks for pointing that out Charlie. Guess I should have got it copyrighted. LOL

 

[glippert]

Jim P, thanks for posting the link to that video of how a differential works. It's always been a mystery to me, even thought I've had them open to clean out the gunk.

 

[digger]

So I was thinking today!
(No smart remarks from the peanut gallery)

I wonder what ever happened to off the grid Jared?

Maybe he's waitin till the 8 ft. of snow melts before he ventures out to work on that poor Cub.

 

[mfrade]

This peanut will stay quiet!

But yeah, wonder what ever became of him.

Off the grid but on the internet??

 

[aaytay]

Charlie-
Great old photo! Where did it come from?

 

[digger]

Art,
To be honest, I don't remember.

Quick question.
The deluxe cab (the one I have in the classifieds), will it fit on a 123? I'm thinking of keeping it.

Thanks!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Shultzie, the Deluxe Cab was introduced for the Wide Frame series. The various brochures I have checked only list it as fitting the Wide Frame and Quiet Line series. Why not test fit it?

 

[kshultz]

Kraig,
Hummm....test fit.

That seems like a lot of work, when I have all you guys here on the forum that may have tried it. I may just do that though. It may take a few months.

Thanks for the help!
