I found the problem it was the seat switch I had another set of fenders and got it from them. Thanks.

I went out to mow with my 582 Cub Cadet and went to turn on the PTO and the engine about died and the charge gauge went way over to discharge. I checked the voltage with no load and it is 14 volts so I checked the stator voltage and the best I can tell not easy to get into that plug its got around 2...

Thank you but I am going try a blade again all the snow we have had this winter has been small snows. Thank you for the reply, Joey.

Hi everyone just wanted to say we had one good snow and we have had sleet and snow mixes that I would have needed a plow. I have found a 1872 SGT and was wondering how much weight can you add to a alumn. rear end? I am thinking about picking it up and making a snow plow tractor out of it we don't ge...

JMotuzick thank you I have some leads on some I am going to check them out when I can. I also am going to look at some ATV's to that is what you see clearing driveways around here any more. I am hoping a buddy of mine has one setup on tractor and I can try it out and I can go from there he has a lit...

I want to thank everyone for the info this is a lot help as I am still tossing around ideas on what I am going to do. I cleared the driveway when I lived at home growing up and I used a 100 Cub Cadet till the motor went in it and my dad got a 122 Cub Cadet to replace it with and they done a real job...

I tried the blade on my 582 Cub Cadet when we had the snow in March it was around 15in and wet the 582 couldn't push it go a little and start spinning. I was wondering if there is any difference in like a 108,1200 or narrow frames if anyone has tried wide frames and narrow frames let me know because...

Dag1450 thank you for the info yes our snows are mostly wet heavy snows sometimes they are dry we don't know what winter will bring us anymore. I was thinking about a hydro. to get the hyd. lift mostly and I am going to leave the blower on the tractor as I have gear drives for mowing and working aro...

I am thinking about trying a Cub Cadet with a snow blower instead of a snow plow and was wondering if I could get some ideas on what works the best. I am leaning more towards a narrow frame I can get a gear drive tractor with hyd. lift.that way but I might find a wide frame easier in my area. My dri...

I looked at the 582 Special Cub Cadet some more and I removed both spark plugs and the right side sitting on tractor was hit by the valve it looked like. I rolled the engine over and that side valve is moving about half way across the spark plug hole. The other side don't even make it to the threads...

Thank you for the reply the carb is on the top of the engine and I will check the breathers out tomorrow.

I got my 582 Special Cub Cadet together and I put a new carburetor on it and it started and ran pretty good and I got on it today and was going to mow some with it and it started and run for a couple of minutes and stopped. I checked the fire and its getting fire. I took the air cleaner off of it an...

I got the cast iron rear end built ready for the 582 Special I put fine spline axels in it I had a rear end out of a 1806 Cub Cadet and I wanted the bigger brakes also. My buddy give me a 128 cub cadet and I am going to get the brake rod out of it and the arm for the brake pedal shaft that works the...

I got my 42in mowing deck to where I can test it, I think this is going to really good in my yard. I sometimes don't get to mow when I need to but I have to use a 38in or 42in mowing deck on the field part of my yard and if its got to out of hand the grass gets hung around the runners and I would ha...

I got my 108 charging and it turned out to be the voltage regulator had a new one for a long time on the shelf but it worked when I put it on. Thanks, Joey.

I saw somewhere if the crankcase breathers on the 16hp Briggs and Stratton get stopped up that they will use oil. I was wondering if it is common to one side because I can get one side new but not the other side I am going to check mine out to see what kind of shape they are in. Thanks, Joey.

Thank you for the reply I am getting ready to tear into it and we will see how its going to work out. I will have a disc brake rear end out of a 128 cub that I may use and I have a complete drive line out of a 1806 cub that I am going to use and I am going to just make a drive shaft. I think this 58...

I am looking at 582 Special Cub Cadet and was wondering if anyone has ever changed one over to a real gear drive? I can not find any more IH built 582 Cub Cadets in my area so I thought I would just make another one but I don't know if its ever been done and how much differences there is in the two....

I was wanting to build a 42in mowing deck I was going to put the front wheel brackets on it that is on the 44in mowing deck and rear wheel brackets. I only have one set of 42in blades and I wanted a spare set and went looking for them and they are not making them no more and the 38in mowing deck as ...

I have been looking for carbs. also and I don't see any that I would like to try any one have any suggestions on one to get new? Thanks, Joey.

I am working on a 108 Cub Cadet that I can not figure out its not charging I changed the VR and starter generator and no luck. Would anyone have any more things to look at I am out of ideas? Thanks, Joey.

Has anyone saw any pictures or installed the front wheel brackets on a 42in mowing deck it would be the ones that is on the 44in and 50in mowing decks. Joey.

Jeff in PA thanks for the video if our winters ever go back to what they used to be I will get one for the 582 cub cadet so it will be quick attach. I think the plow will do for now I hope, we can never tell what winters is going to bring anymore. Thanks, Joey.

Thanks for the reply's and I will post...

Here's the pictures of the 1872 GearDrive.

dag1450 I will try to get some pics of my 1872 cub before the end of the weekend. I wanted a super cub but I didn't want hydro so my dad said lets build a gear drive and it took a year to build it but that was working on it when we both got time. I put a cast iron rear end in it with the fine spline...

Thanks everyone for the reply's I have not had one for snow removal for 14 years and we moved and now I have a paved driveway and I need one for snow removal this winter won't have time to get the 100 cub cadet ready.

I have ag tires on it to would they be alright instead of chains. I installed a spring assist on it I ...

I was wondering if anyone has tried or put a 44in mowing deck under a 100 cub cadet?I put a 12hp motor in mine and I was thinking it would handle the 44in mowing deck.Thanks,Joey.

I found what was wrong with the 2185 cub the guy put a new battery in it before he brought to me and it was hooked up wrong.I hooked it right and it started right up and run fine.
