Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad in 89 to cancer too, still miss him. I have his last cub, a 102 still in its work clothes. My son and I also bought an original in his memory because he owned one when completed it will be a completely refurbished semi trailer queen. It isn't the same tractor but could not track down that one. Besides ours is a 4 digit serial number.

sorry to hear that Adam......I hope you will find some peace in finishing that 100, and every time you use it....

Sorry for your loss Adam.
Looks like things a moving along though.:beerchug:

Thank you guys. Dad was the greatest man I've ever known and he taught me the value of hard work and honesty. He and mom are together again.

Sorry for your loss Adam, looking good though, keep it up!:beerchug:

The 100 is looking good Adam. Sorry for your loss of father.

I lost my dad 7yrs ago and I still miss him.

Adam, Sorry for your loss.

How do you plan to do the 4 lug hubs?

I ordered the spindles and hubs. I plan to make a new set of steering spindles with increased camber like the WF tractors.

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Nice looking tires Adam.:beerchug:
So sorry to hear of your loss. Went through it five months ago myself.

My Condolences Adam!

Very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Thank you guys.

Got my 4-lug trailer hubs and spindles yesterday. I modified the trailer spindles and a spare set of damaged Cub steering spindles I had laying around. Need to test fit everything to the front axle beam before I weld the spindles on.

Sorry for your loss.

I have a newbie question. Why switch rim types? Is it just a looks thing?
I'm enjoying the photos and craftsmanship.

Best,
Andy.

I'm doing it for durability and because it looks cool. To replace the 3/4" bearings with quality bearings was going to cost close to what I paid for the trailer hubs.

Adam,could we see pictures of your hub/spindle modification? You always do such excellent work.

Yes!! We need pictures!!:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Try to test fit tomorrow and snap some pics.

:popcorn:.

Spindles are ready to weld. I drilled the center of the spindles 3/4" and milled a 3/4" slot at the end. I ground the washer off the Cub spindles and slipped the new spindle over them. Leaving the extra length on the new spindle gives them more metal at the curved part of the Cub spindle where they're prone to bending. The spindles have 2-3deg of camber just like a WF spindle.

:IH Trusted Hand:

Very cool. :beerchug:

I see your bearings are open to the elements. They do make one with a seal.

Looks Great!!:beerchug::IH Trusted Hand:

They have seals. When I assemble the tractor, I'll pack the bearings and install the seals. I'm going to add grease zerks to the hubs too.

Adam

I have not looked at this thread in a while, please accept my condolences on the loss of your Dad.:Pray:

The front spindles look great, very impressed.:beerchug:

Sam,

Thank you.

Picked up some paint today. Hope to spray some next week.

What paint are you using? I'm painting mine tomorrow with case/ih and will probably give it one coat of clear.

I'm using VanSickle.

Looking forward to your updates, Adam!

I literally blew the cobwebs off of this project and layed down some yellow paint tonight.

The new yellow is looking good, Adam!
