The 70 and the 125
 

Just got back from picking these up,a 70 and a 125
The 125 has a 3 point and spring assist mower deck.
The 70 has a replacement 8hp in it,Ags,and fenders for my 73:biggrin2:
I will unload in the morning before the snow flies...
I will take some pics also.

Man Lew I just need to move. Good job as usual. Fenders for the 73, I agree. I think you've maxed out the capacity of your half ton truck, congrats.

Nice picks Lew :beerchug:

Hmmm, a 125 :biggrin2:

( just kidding, I only have room for my two 125s )

Looks like a great haul. I like the look of the wider aGS on the 70.

I do to.
Com'on Jeff it has a nice seat this time..

:beer2: I got a new seat for the other 125 I got from you

Nice finds Lew. The 70 looks like a very clean tractor!

Nice looking pickups Lew!:beerchug:

As always Lew, good job! Keepers? Parts? Flip? Whatcha gonna do? :popcorn:
Spring assist and 3pt on the 125....... :bigthink::bigthink:

Awesome scores, Lew!

I may keep the 70,but the fenders are going on the 73.The 125 may be my new snow mover and sell the other 125 I owned for the last 6 years as it is starting to show it's age.:biggrin2:

Your sig says you have 2 125's...... :bigthink::biggrin2:
Now you have 3! :biggrin2:

Nice pickups lew.:beerchug:

What they said. Rumor has it that you got a drone like Mike has. :beerchug::biggrin2:

Great looking "truck load" of cubs Lew:beerchug:
Yah, that 70 looks sweet with the fenders and large tires:bigthink:

Good save Lew! Quite an outfit you got going on there! Oh, look at those rear fender reflectors,...:biggrin2:

Nice haul!

Fixed that Jonathan.

Took some pics of them in the light.The seat has a small hole in it,:bash2:

70 and 125 look good Lew. Decent seat.:biggrin2:

The white seat has a bunch of holes in it....... better junk it. :biggrin2::biggrin2:

Its like almost impossible to find a Cub for sale around here. I wanna find another one to have so the BF can have fun too. Im thinking a hydro for the next one. Great find on both of those :) :BB&YS:

OMG the BF needs a hydro? Girl Ya Gotta teach him what a clutch is for. :biggrin2: :beerchug:

It's Okay to have a hydro Sam.
I would think he would want one cause they are faster than gear drives...

:biggrin2::OhOh::ROTF1::Shocked:

The tractors look good Lew! Yeah, that seat is pretty rough so you better send that 6 pad my way!:biggrin2:

Sorry mike that ones mine .:biggrin2:

So the last few days I worked on the 70, after pulling the head off with a bad spark plug thread,I noticed the valves were loose in their guides also,started it up after fixing the head,but man what a knocker,it wouldn't throttle up,just die,changed the coil and the condenser,and the same thing happened,lots of blowby.So I pulled the motor,found a few PO boo boos,he put new valves,but didn't change the guides,prolly didn't matter as he put the rod on incorrectly.

OUCH!!!

That the K161 that's in your other thread?

That stinks Lew! :bash2:

A rod installed backwards is a good way to put a hole in the block.

You got lucky Lew :beerchug:

Yes it is, the PO changed the cast iron gov gear to a plastic one and was wobbling around on the shaft.The crank is still good though,but it needs to be .010 under.
Its a keeper:biggrin2:

Sorry to hear that, Lew.

The reason to put the rod oriented so the oil hole is toward the camshaft is to be sure to get oil in the hole (and to the crank journal) while the motor is running? Is that correct?

Yep. That is the direction that the engines turn, so as the dipper splashes through the oil, it gets into the hole.

OOPS. Good thing you noticed the boo boos, but I guess eventually it would have made a nice viewing window for you to investigate all the issues :biggrin2::beerchug:

That is so sad... Sometimes I think that you should be required to pass a test before you are allowed to buy tools.

Yes I agree, the valve guides were never changed, just stuck new valves in there but they were lapped.hehe

Hehe.:biggrin2:

Or before they can buy the parts!!


On the motor I just got back from the machine shop, I had bought new valves and guides. The shop called and tried to talk me out of putting them in! Kinda upset me. (I'm trying out a new (to me) machine shop.) I said, "Well, they don't cost that much and I already bought them, so just put them in, OK?" That's the kind of people they are used to dealing with though..... those just wanting to save a buck! :angry:
