Project 108
 

Well my latest project got delivered this morning. It's an 108 that's needs some cleaning and some minor paint touch up. The hood is in awesome shape, no dings or dents. The PO passed away a couple of years ago and it's been sitting my buddies shop and he wanted it out of his way. The price was right and delivered to my door from 3 hr drive away for no extra cost.:beer2: I'm going to need to reline the brakes using the method in the tech section of the site, order decals and some small part painting. I'll have to clean everything before assembly. All of the loose parts are in the blue tubs and he'll make good on any missing parts.

On to the pics! THe pics are of it in my trailer so I can roll them into my garage when I start the assmebly of it.

Congrats Duke on the new project!
Looks to be in pretty good shape!:beerchug:

15-20 minutes of assembly and you should be riding LOL
Nice looking machine/parts.

:biggrin2: Now that's the way to start a project. You should have a roller in a couple of hours. :beerchug:

Thanks Mike! I think this is going to turn out pretty nice!
I'm real happy with the tins and paint work so far. The paint was sparyed on several years ago so should be nice and hard now.:beer2:

15-20 mins! You work faster then I do!:beer2:

I hope so! I've got to go dig out my rear tires for it. I've got to paint the good running 10hp from the 100 I've been trying to sell. I'm going to paint the motor black as I like the looks of a black motor.:biggrin2:

Nice buddy! Want me to come up, and help you put it together? :ThumbsUp:

Nice 108 Duke!

Most of us don't get to start in on them in kit form like this! Should be a nice tractor project. Parts look very clean ans straight too. We will be watching.
Regards,
Chris

Looks like you have a fun project ahead! Seems like they are the most fun.

nice score Duke!

Looks good Duke! Already painted, just bolt and go.

Come on up!

Thanks Sam!

Thanks Chris! I was very happy when I started looking at the tins.

I'm thinking it'll be some fun!:biggrin2:

Thanks!

I'm hoping that's all that's to it.:biggrin2: Thanks!

Wow
 

You're halfway done already! :-)

John

Looks great Duke!! Can't wait to see it put together! Congrats :beerchug:

"Cub in a box" now there's an idea:biggrin2:
Sweet looking addition, is it a keeper, orrrrrrrrrrrr?
:popcorn:

So true John!

Thanks Eric! I was going to start working on this weekend but I've got a make a pick up for a fellow OCC member for his new toy!:beer2:

Other then that I'll let him spill the beans!:biggrin2:

Looks great Duke!:beerchug:

Any special duties for this one?

Good project just assemble and go.You did get the nuts and bolts to it?
If you are using the motor out of the 100 you will have to use the correct blower housing for wide frame as the coil mounts higher up on the housing to clear the frame.
:beerchug:

I have no plans for this one.:bigthink:

All of the nuts and bolts are in the tubs. He wanted to keep them but got to have all the IH bolts I can get my hands on.:biggrin2: I may go with zinc plated so I can use grade 5 bolts. Not sure of the condition on the bolts so keeping my options open.

Good thing you told me about the blower housing or I would have found out the hard way again.:bash2: I'll swap them once I get the motor from the 108. He forgot it but he's bringing it with him on the next trip.

Well, I was wrong no bolts in the tubs.:bash2: I took the time last night to go to parts lookup and made a list of what I need to buy so I can start going on this project.

I've got to go digging thru my tires and find some good rears for it. I think I've got a good pair of turfs for it.

Looks like the hard work is done for you.

I hope so!:biggrin2:

We can both help him Allen. Then it'll only take twice as long!
:biggrin2:

John

That's right! :biggrin2:

What's that old saying about to many cooks?:bigthink:


:biggrin2:

I picked up the fastners to make a roller soon. I just got to get some free time to get to it.

Boy does that ever sound familiar!!


We're expecting some good pictures too!
:-)

John

Cant wait to see it as a roller Duke! I love my 108! :biggrin2: Ill be keeping tabs on the progress :beer2:

One word, "Slacker"! :biggrin2::biggrin2:

I can do some pics John. I've got to start doing some video's too!

Thanks! I've got some more odd and end parts coming and need some more warm weather to start painting the few parts taht need to be painted.

Ouch!

:biggrin2:

Keep up the good work Duke! Take your time and it will work it's self out fine. Love the model 108, and pictures of them too! I hear you on the warm weather for painting, Thats why I'am dragging along with the prepwork. These projects are super fun! Its like I can play my own IH Cub Cadet factory I got going on here! Sweet!:ThumbsUp:

didn't see this when it got started but as in the thread i started the 10hp is in my garage to clean up and put into the 108. It is finally a roller still need to find some good tires that hold air or tube these haven't made up our minds yet i don't think. After getting everything cleaned up the previous owner had gotten alot painted but not everything and the most disappointing part was half of the white was painted and looks great but the other half like the hood and tower isn't and may have to repaint all the white to get it to match well. here is a current pic of its status. and here is the engine that needs cleaning :) any tips appreciated. oh and it got a new wiring harness added to the pile just the other day too!!!

Looking good!

Looking good Adam! I think I've seen this before.:biggrin2:

Looks good! what kind of paint and primer did you use?

Was mostly painted when I got it. Adam is just trying to match what's already been done.

Well not alot of progress made to this lately as we have been waiting on the right mood and some parts lol. I did finally get the engine cleaned up and started to get back together got.to do the rest of the tins though. Heres the pics!

Hey AJ

I have a tractor that could use that engine. Duke will never miss it anyway. :biggrin2:

Figure I could get this cleaned, painted and running in a couple days :beerchug:

we have 2 the one painted and the one pictured earlier in this thread from me. I'm sure Duke would part with it reasonably! I like your supers :D
