I have had that happen too. Wonder if they will tell you to keep the parts.
Hopefully you didn't need those chains soon.
It's a shame some of it couldn't have been milled into lumber. It would have only been construction lumber though I guess.
Sorry, I can't help either. I don't even know what saw they fit.
Went to the cabin with my friend Harold this WE, and did lots of stuff including installing a sink in chainsaw milled wood.
We also installed a "donated" piece of granite next to it. (One of my friends bought a new house, and it was on the lawn, he was going to throw it out!)
Also re routed the pipe from our gutters so hopefully it will "self flush" the outhouse when it rains. I may also put a Y in the pipe so I can manually flush it with 5 gal buckets when there is no rain.
We keep making improvements!

Spent 4 days on a guys fishing trip. Of course I was the firewood guy, we cooked over the fire and I even managed to scrounge up a fish!

Nice!
I forgot to mention we had Venison Back Strap for dinner, grilled over Black Cherry … it was tender and great tasting!

Tired and finally caught up with storm damage cleanup for our place, in-laws, and neighbors. Finally back in the timber for 5 hours today. Didn’t haul out, but cleaned up a Shagbark plus another I had limbed out previous, and an Oak. Pretty good day. Ended up with 3 separate piles. Here are a couple.
Oops! Someone should’ve told my cub cadet that! I was definitely going to kill that k46 trans. No worries now, I bought a JD 1025r.

Yes that's what I was told. Don't know if it's true or not. Does have a hole in back for a hitch, though. Something about wearing out the clutch plate. I had to replace the transmission on my Craftsman two months after I bought it. Luckily under warrantee. That photo looks like my old Craftsman (geared) pulling my trailer full of wood. Got to repair it.
I built that hitch for the cub. The factory hole for most riding mowers are not intended for a ball mount. Pin towing stuff like carts and aerators. That load barely made it up my hill, took three tries and on the final attempt the front wheels were up about one foot. I knew I needed something bigger before I completely destroyed the cub so I sold it. The trans probably blew by now.
My mower hitch had a 1/2 inch hole. My small lawn cart had been converted to 1 7/8” ball many years ago so we could use it on any of our equipment. You can buy a 5/8” shank, 1 7/8 inch ball specifically for light duty uses like this. Between a grinding bit on my drill and a rat tail file I opened it up in 5/8 in a couple of minutes.
Again I’m going to be doing light duty with this so not worried about the transmission. Hauling a small cart full of rounds around the yard or nearby trails is all I’m going to be doing.
And worst case if I do torch the transmission, the mower cost me $300 and has already paid for itself.

I do. Going to pull the mower deck for the fall though. It has a small snowplow that I’ve never used too.
I've ridden my Mtn Bike a few times this year, but only on the bike path. This was the first time this year it was actually "in the dirt".
Went to Fahnestock State Park with the wife and Step Son. Vin is 6'3" and NYPD. Vin had a clear advantage because of his age and his bike w/29" wheels (we have 26"). I wanted to upgrade, but they are back ordered till March!
Temps while riding were 50-55. Glad I was not road biking!

Whoever told you, you cant tow with a hydro trans is an idiot.
For reference sake, 582 cubcadet converted to hydro, donor trans was out of a 1650 cc. Plows the garden every year, and has a 48" blade for snow duty. The 2 colored 782 will get a 3 point eventually as well. Original hydro trans. Just took the brinley hitch set up off of it so I could set it up with a 3 or hitch as well. Dont mind the yanmar it has a power shift trans.
Only problem with either of the Cubs is the front end is light. I also had a 2182 cub that was on mower duty, I think it had an 800lb tow rating. I wouldnt trust something newer to last very long, but theres no reason I can think of for a blanket statement that a hydro cant tow.

It wasn’t me that posted that lol, my 1025r is a hydro too.
Sorry mate, miss quoted. Should have been the post up from yours.
