New to me 104
 

Ive been on here for a couple of months looking around and wanting a loader Cub. I had a Cub 2160 that I sold, and bought a Cub 104 from a neighbor. I have all kinds of questions..

1st, my serial number on the back of the rear end is #259337. If I have researched right, it was made in Aug. 1968.

2nd, my motor serial #D242440 I have no clue on year other than its a 10 hp I think.

3rd, it has a scrape blade on the front and came with a deck mower. I think I'm missing the mule drive that the front PTO belt runs backs to connect to the deck. The deck #421U1113 I have no clue if it goes with this tractor.

4th, it needs a battery and I have no clue what size.

I know i need some more items, like the right breather cover and headlights and such.. I'm really excited about owning this thing and plan on a full restore as soon as my shop is completed.. Any help i would greatly appreciate it..Thank you for your time in reading my thread..

Answer:

#1 - You are correct

#2 - Yes, it is a 10HP Engine. The Engine is a 1968 engine and that information is found on page 1.3 of the TP-2379 Service Manual. See Tech Library Section

#3 - That information is also located in the Tech Library Section for Implements.

#4 - Basically, the largest CCA battery that will physically fit in your battery tray.

Thank you for your time and response....:beerchug:

wow nice 104 with options

Nice tractor! Correct deck, but I don't see the deck mounting/lifting carriage, and as you said: the mule drive bracket.

Me wonders if the seller had put the blade on thus removing the mower deck, sub frame and mule drive, then managed to misplace the subframe and mule drive (or just forgot to give it to you) when he sold it.

That could very well be! Gosh, I had one laying around here,................:bigthink: I wonder if cgetsinger has it or not?

Check with the sponsors above, I know Cub Cadet Classics had what you need, and Chris has some good prices!:pepsichug:

Nice 104 and blade, and some nice options!

Look good with the three. Point and WEIGHTS

Congrats on the 104:beerchug:
Nice options as well.

Congrats on the nice looking 104!

Thank You I like it alot so far. Cant wait to get to play with it

Yeah its missing the deck stuff and the PO said he didnt have it, so now im looking to find it all..

Thanks to eveyone. I have been eyeballing this thing for a couple of weeks and finally bought it. I dont think I got hurt for what i have in it. $50.00 hopefully wont kill me..

Cgetsinger is in need of one!!! :bigthink:

I was wondering is a 104 a good cub, cause i havent seen many on here?:bigthink:

ive got one, check out the thread of me tearing it apart and bringing it back to life.

I like mine. I wish it had hydro lift or electric lift though.

I I just got a 104 two weeks ago and my friend and I just got it running correctly....aside from a throttle adjustment. We took it on a victory ride when we got It started and had a blast on it. Your wheel weight are worth at least 100 dollars alone-you did very well and it will be a great cub for you.....enjoy!
