weaverama, nice work and I'm no expert but what JayBrd's saying makes sense.

Well I "worked" on the Original today for 3-4 hours. Replaced s/g, voltage regulator and most of the wiring as I was frying headlights and now all is good:biggrin2.gif:. Then went out to plow driveway and one of the chains broke so it was back into the shop. Was going to put another set on and then had the bright idea to put the ags that I just got on, what a mistake that was:bash2:. I didn't have chains on them and thought they might do ok, lol, they spun like crazy and I had virtually no traction!! So it was back into the shop and instead of just replacing broken chain on original wheel, I took the wheels off the 71 and mounted them on the O', they have 2 sets of weights on each wheel and the chains were setup much better and wow, they work alot better than just having one set of weights on!

Can't run chains on the ags either, not on the Original anyway, they'll hit the fenders.

Once I plow the drive a few times it is ice and chains is the only way. Good shots of the "O in work detail! I like in original paint too! I had a chain that broke so for a buck at TSC, I bought a link and fixed it that way. My chains rub on the inside fender a bit, guess it is the nature of the beast. :beerchug:

On to a new home...

Sminkey,

That "O" looks great! Sometimes I wish we had enough snow in these parts to get out the plow. I've only been able to plow snow one time, and I had a blast!

Pulled the 1650 out to change the tires and dust it off for the new owner. Still pretty dirty, but too cold to wash it!

Really hate to see this one go down the road. Never thought I'd sell it...

Great looking cubs, guys! :ThumbsUp:

Had to haul a wheel chair for Jenn. I just had to have some seat time...lol!

Check out the tow ball, now I can pull my big trailer. It's nice to be able to keep the ball on, and still use my attachments!

That's a cool lookin adapter you made for your sleeve hitch.:beerchug: I might have to make one myself.:bigthink:

Lookin great as always Allen. I like the adapter plate to looks like it works really well.

Looking Good Allen,
I fixed the rear tail lights on my 782,It is good to be seen when your plowing at night by the road,added this rear light also.

Allen, the 100 looks good as always. You'll look for any excuse to get some seat time in won't ya? Haha

Today, I finished up the 3-point on the 126 and had to try it out. I put the grader blade on and scraped the 2-3" of snow off the concrete in front of the garage. It did good considering it has turf tires with no chains or weights. I did have a couple concrete landscaping blocks in the box under the seat (roughly 20-30 lbs). I definitely need a spring assist on there. My right arm was getting tired using the "Armstrong" method. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

The past 3 weeks almost everyday there was measurable snow:biggrin2.gif: Hopefully have a good storm brewing for thursday here. Letting go of the 1650 will just allow you to replace it with 2 more cubs:biggrin2.gif:

Allen, looking good and any excuse is a good excuse for some cub time!! I'm having dreams about duallies too:beer2:

Lew, good work, being seen is nice, I get some good stares from people when I'm out on the cubs.

Adam, can't wait for the pics, really like your work too:beerchug:

ACecil
Nice adapter, I like your thinking, use the Cub for everything possible :biggrin2.gif:
