Duc,

To bad about the heater. Is that cab a Cub product?

Yes I am. I use this 6' blade to clear 500' of driveway.

Cub dosent sell an electric heater (from what I can tell) besides they are all like that. Its the limitations of an air cooled engine, no good way to grab heat. Water cooled you can splice in-line and put in a 15-20K btu heater /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Bob55 - Great pics- I have the same set-up. Works fantastic. Didn't miss a beat with the 10 inches we got last week. Two questions though - when the lift bar is used to raise the housing, how far down the fender does the handle go. Mine is almost to the foot rest and hits the fender. Second, my chains fall off constantly. I think they are too large (I got them from the dealer). I have overlapped two cross chains. Not nearly as "neat" as yours. Any trick? Did you cut the chain to size?

Welcome.... Ya the lift bar does go down low (see pic) I think I'm going to put some thing on the fender to keep the lift bar from hitting and scratching the fender. The chains were fitted on the wheels at the dealer. You can cut them so they fit tighter. I also put springs on the out side to hold them tighter. I picked them up at Home Depot. The ones I bought are a little long but they work. Keep in touch. This is a great board for info. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Let me try the pic again.

MDC,
This might help with your chains. Mine seemed sloppy enough I was afraid when I was haulin butt to get back to the garage, they were going to catch the fender on something else in the wheelwell.

So... I strapped two bungee cords on the outside of each wheel, just ran them through the chains pulled them tight and hooked them to the other side of the wheel.

Check the picture.

It seems to be workin fine

Hey Bob,
We posted our "Chain keepers" simultaneously, it must be that great minds thinking alike syndrome.
Nice Cub!

Here's another pic of the trusty 1872

a Good fix on the loose chains (providing they are close to the size of the tire) is to let the air out of the air (assuming tire is off tractor) and leave a few pounds. Place the chains on the tire and take up as much slack as you can. Air up the tire and watch the slack go away, the tire becomes snug enough with no movement. No need to over inflate the tire

This works much better for snow than my 7275. It's much quicker, warmer and more comfortable. The tractor is only used for tight spots now and moving piles of snow.

Curt/Bob- Thanks for the ideas. Did do the tire pressure thing (on the tractor though). Will try the springs/bungees. I alos put a peice of pipe insulation on the handle of the lift to protect the fender. Works great.
