I love my 1862. It's a dedicated snow machine with the 450 blower and cub soft cab. Nice find...

That's a great project. That is one of the best Cyclops. The power steering and Magnum engine are pluses.

Guy installed a new coil and somehow the mount broke

I have a spare Magnum coil mount I will give you. Let me know and we can meet up at Tractor Supply later this week.

I have never seen that rear tire tread design. Anyone else ?

 

[bkattner]

Had those on my 1861. They are on my 1864 now.

 

[mgonitzke]

Pretty much all the CC GTs had that tread pattern from 1982-1989, and some had it earlier and later.

 

[1811Cub]

Those "Cub Cadet" branded tires were commonly seen on the later Cyclops, like 1994-97. I believe Goodyear made them but the sidewalls were emblazoned with the CC name. They are not the exact same tread pattern as the Goodyear branded tires normally seen on the 82 series.

Good grief,
Some folks should never be allowed near tools or to work on their own Cubs!

I finally bought myself a ratchet set, Must be special cause it came with special 12 point sockets. Sweet... Its gonna be nice not having to use wrenchs on everyrhing.

OMG
Get some real tools,, maybe Craftsman or Snap On,,
Or even Harbor Freight!!
You’ll hurt yourself with the ones you got!!
LOL!!!

 

[cubs4lifeofme]

i will be ok. Alot better than the wrenches i been using all my life, Especially on tire removal.

 

[jlord]

No worries. When the cheap tools break or wear out, they are letting you know you need better tools.
I already had a full set of 300 or more pieces of Craftsman's for over 30 years, but when I stopped at a yard sale a few years ago and the lady said $25 for the toolbox and tools, I added another full 243 piece Craftsman set to the crib. That one will be my son's, now that he's found fixing your own "stuff" is way better than paying somebody else to do a half-as*ed job for too much money.

I suspect this is an attempt to prank us.

I'm still using Craftsman tools my brother gave me for my 16th birth day 63 years ago!
