Cost came out to $300 for everything. Not sure what Cub sold this kit for but has to be more. I'm on the road again this week, so maybe it will here by next weekend to give it a try. ---- Tom

Thanks for sourcing the McMaster Carr. I placed an order there also. Looks like a done deal. I did get a manual for the hyd angling kit as it gives directions for setting up the cylinders.

Cub,

All parts installed -- up and operating. Everything fit well, but I am probably going to shorten up the crossover hoses. At 18" each they are a little to long. I am also going to install a shutoff valve in the crossover. I want to be able to lock the hitch on center so I don't inadvertantly angle it with the snowblower attached. That long handle will destroy something if I am not more careful than forgetful. -- Tom

Glad you got it to work! I was also wondering about the issue of accidently "angling" the snowblower....might not be pretty!
You're gonna like the angling when plowing....

Have fun!

Hey great job. I'm lagging behind with too many projects. Haven't bolted mine together yet.
