Finally got the right mule drive belt on Friday. When we got back yesterday from a weekend camping I put it on the tractor and made a few swipes along the easement behind our property. My son wouldn't leave me alone until he got to mow so I relented and he mowed about a half an acre for a neighbor.

The PTO needs some adjustment and I think the mule drive is going to require a rebuild but otherwise, so far so good with our 23 year old "new" tractor.

That's awesome, chmaso! Now you and your son can enjoy the cub! :beerchug:

Looks like I'll be in the yard again this weekend. Our leaves have started to fall. I enjoy the seat time though. :biggrin2.gif:

Yes THANKs,

Using the foot rest from my 109 for the + end, its just bubbling away got about a inch of froth floating on top. Looks nasty.

It will be interseting to see the results on Tuesday.

That will be a total of 24hrs. for cooking.

Nik,

nikster-

Just replied to your PM...and for the benefit of anyone else reading, don't use your footrest or anything else you care about for the sacrificial metal connected to the positive terminal, as that piece gets eaten away.

Thanks Matt!
 

You're an amazing source of information:buttrock:

Got the auger painted today and went to take tank and carb off 71 and decided to take off some of the shroud to clean up engine. Will rebuild carb tonight or tomorrow and replace tank/shrouds with refinished ones.

You've been busy, Jude! :ThumbsUp:

71 clutch cover
 

Looks like you have a "solid" clutch cover. I did not know they came that way. Mine of course has holes all about it. Now that I got some work done to it, I'am gonna bolt up the new painted spacers and run the duels for the weekend.

Everything before the 72, 1x4/5 should have the solid clutch cover.

Be sure to get some pics, John! :ThumbsUp:

I got the 71 back together today with a carb rebuild, new air filter,spark plug and wire, sediment bowl and the tank and shrouds from my O'. Haven't gassed it up yet to see if its all good, will do tomorrow or Sunday. Oh ya, put coil from O' on too:beerchug:

Be careful not to spill/drip gas on that fresh paint, or it will bubble. BTDT

tried to do some pulling
 

:bigthink:I got the 128 out to pull and older wheelhorse 877 up the hill that had run out of gas and was.....well dis-appointed to tell the truth. It would not do it it would just spin. Now to give it some credit the wheelhorse is a hydro and it does not push/pull easy, even with the tow valve open. So i took the 128 back up to the house and got out the ole WH Raider 12 and hooked it up to the 877 and coming up the hill I had to keep looking back to see if the 877 was still attached. I don't know why there was a difference neither the 128 or the Raider has fluid in the tires and they both have the same engine. Any one have any thoughts?

Its ok, tank and other parts were painter a couple months ago, almost 3 now. Thanks though, funny I was just reading a post about the same thing:biggrin2.gif:

Cub128,

Difference in tires?

Different time of day, ground could have been damp?

Hitch height different/hooked up different?

Fluid in 877 had not "burped" yet, still holding pressure against system?

Just thoughts...

Good work, Jude! :beerchug:

Looks like I might have my Snapper tiller sold to a guy up near the Ohio Plow Day next weekend so i figured i had better get my 582 running. It has a mag 18 in it and I believe the mag was bad so i got it changed. Too bad i can't start it since the wife is asleep. Lets all cross our fingers and hope for the best.

It wasn't today, but in the last week I did buy a 1979 IH built 682 with a lift, spring assist, and a tiller gear box,and then sold my CCC built 682. Maybe one of these days, I can trade my CCC 982 for a IH built one.

Finished restoring my plow and it's pretty much set up for the field. It made a pretty good furrow for the hard ground we've got. Can't wait until next weekend.

Awesome pic, Adrian! Have fun at your plow day next weekend. :ThumbsUp:

Adrian, I really need that tractor. That is awesome!

Since no one expressed interest in the 75lb weights (see For Sale), I put them on the 1872. Man, those were a PITA compared to the cast ones, but they do the job and I could definitely tell a difference mowing the steep hills in the back. Wife is usually neutral (ok, uninterested) on the cubs, but even she likes the cast ones better.

Also, threw on some "close enough" cub cadet yellow for my formerly red wagon.

I did something I thought I would never do and I took the FEL off. It went pretty quick. I plan on installing my creeper gear I got at the NC PD and getting my model #1 tiller ready to use this fall. The FEL will be going back on in 3 weeks or so. I want it back on before the weather turns cold.

My hydro lift arm broke so I need to take that into work and have it welded up. It was broken once before and this weld didn't hold. The maint. man at work has ugly welds but they hold good so going to have him weld it up.

Didn't happen today but I ordered all the seals and o-rings for my creeper gear. I was able to get them from my cub dealer. I need to get the gear box to the tiller belt then I can do the install and mount the tiller.

Duke,
My hydro lift lever broke on my 123 also a few months back. My friend made me a new one and welded up the old one. But I sold the hydro unit since then and I let both levers go with it. Mind broke in almost the same spot.

Great looking 1872 and cart, Richard! :beerchug:

Duke: The 122 looks sharp! I can't believe, how much different it looks without the loader. Great talking with you, as always! :ThumbsUp:

aagitch
Plow looks great! :ThumbsUp:

raboley
Those are some monster wheel weights :bigeyes:
The wagon looks good that color :beerchug:


Methos
Hope all your repairs go well.

Very nice set-up aagitch! Tuff looking tractor too! raboley- Good idea on the el'cheep-o cart! I have the same one, and I like those amber flashers you got there......gives me an idea! Nice Cubs everyone! Yesterday I used the 71 and the cheep-o cart to haul away my sweetcorn stalks, and drove the cubby down to see the old man, my neighbor. Sorry, no picts., was working too hard because I thought we were going to get rain and did not. Good thing I dont go by the lies the weatherman says or I'd spend my whole life inside the house. The 71 is running like a swiss watch!:American Flag 1:

Today I ordered a carb kit, glass bowl, for the 127, hopefully that will stop my gas leak.

I also ordered a pulley for my snowblower, hopefully I'll get that going this winter.

Seems I've been busy with the cubs lately. In the last week or so, I bought a IH built 682, sold my CCC built 682, traded a tiller gear box for a mag 20, bought some rear wheels and tires for my 482, sold my snapper tiller, sold a 44c deck, replaced the magneto in the 582, rebuiilt the carb on the 582, and I got my 782 powdercoated. Busy week.

AJ

I got to play with my Cub 123 and #1 tiller this afternoon for the first time since I took it apart, cleaned it, and painted it. Had lots of fun tilling, and had a few "YIPPEE!!" moments and a few "RATS!!!!" moments:

In the YIPPEE!!!!! column:

It looks great!!!
Everything fit like it was supposed to.
It tills VERY WELL!!
Much less work compared to wrestling with a two-wheeled tiller.

In the RATS!!!!! column:

Had a couple of bolts fall off that I hadn't tightened properly, had to fix.
Broke the skinny drive belt. Must've been too tight. Need to order a new one.
Could stay outside all day, but it always has to get dark!!!

But, all in all, a GREAT afternoon/evening!!!

Glad you had a great time with your cub. :beerchug:

sounds like you might have to get head lights and a rear grote light for the 123. haha :beerchug:

So my wife ordered a new headlight kit for her car, some projector beam deal, and the kit came with Fog/Driving lights. Well her car does not have the right grill to fit the lights so I might wind up putting them on the 127 when I get a chance

Aagitch...that is SWEET! I like your set up, looks different with a red plow too. :ThumbsUp:

Got my lift arm welded back up and installed. My order came in from my cub dealer. Found a killer deal on the long belt on ebay after my dealer said they where NLA. Just need to get the gear box to tiller belt and mount it up and try it out.

This weekends to do list:

Plow another garden! :biggrin2.gif:
Install the creeper!
Locate the gear box tiller belt.
Mount up the tiller and try it out. (maybe next weekend)
And go see Thomas the tank engine with my family. My sons yearly birthday wish.

Sounds like a great weekend, Duke! Please get some pics, if you're able to. :beerchug:

Finally got to lawn sweep the yard today. Had a mishap with the 100, but it's fixed now! We'll get pics next time. :beerchug:

ACecil
Mishap? What happened to the 100?

Diz, the tie rod came out of the left tie rod end. I'm so glad, it's fixed now! :beerchug:

HMMMMM...... not a bad idea! :bigthink:
