1864 # 2
 

This one followed me home today. Almost into TN and WV way up a dirt road, pretty sure I heard Banjos. :biggrin2:

Lost one of the side panels on the interstate, couldn't get stopped before it got run over by a semi. Oh well I have a spare set so not the end of the world. :bash2:

It came with and extra deck and a bagger, those will be for sale.:beerchug:

Banjorama Sam, you did well.
Too bad about the panel, at least a trooper didn't see that in his path.

Good deal Sam! Does this mean spring has sprung and the shop is open for business?

Looks good Sam.:ThumbsUp:

Nice going Sam! Does this mean you’re gaining back interest in Cubs? :biggrin2:

Hey, not bad looking either. Congrats!:beerchug:

Sucks bigtime about the side panel.

Looks like it's a nice clean one!:beerchug::beerchug:

Too bad about the side panel!:bash2:

I knew you had something in the works!:biggrin2:

Ahhahhhh, you dog you!!! Those 1864's are just plain addicting! Congrats on the new toy

Looks to be in good shape! :beerchug:

Congrats Sam.:beerchug:
Just didn't have anything to work on, so along comes the 1864?:bigthink:

Very nice! Apparently you change your mind but the good condition and a fair price may have help a bit :biggrin2:

It's going to sleep on the trailer till it warms up

Not sure yet, I may flip this one. The 2264 is my grass killer.

Only if it something that I want to mess with.

This one was a Lew deal.

Finally got around to getting the 1864 off the trailer yesterday. Replaced the starter with one I had from an organ donor. Battery is dead, no problem I have battery. Get that done and nothing, WTH. Then I notice a small toggle switch on the dash. Oh good we have a PO mod. Well lets just say that the wiring will be going into the trash can. Unplug the wiring to the engine, jumper the fuel shut off solenoid and hook up my trusty starter test button to the solenoid on the starter. Pull the air cleaner and notice that one of the bolts that holds the base to the carb is missing. Hope that didn't go into the engine, guess we will find out. Squirt some gas in the carb and crank it over. It fires right up just like a real one but won't keep running unless I continue squirting gas into the carb. OK probably a plugged fuel system. Go get a small gas jug with a hose and fuel filter, hook that up to the pump and try again. Same deal, stops as soon as stop squirting gas into the carb, WTH? Notice it's not sucking gas into the filter. Back to the shop for my sprayer that I have converted to use as a pressurized gas supply. Put some gas in it pump it up just enough to push gas into the carb only 1 or 2 lbs. Crank it over and it lights right up. All the important stuff works works as it should. Drove it around for a couple minutes, put it in shop, unhooked the gas and let it run dry. :beerchug:

I will be pulling the engine out to give it a good cleaning. It will get rewired. A new fuel pump and the standard fuel system cleaning and fuel line replacement. Probably some gauges. Clean and repack the CV joint on the steering. New fluid and filter for the hydro. And what ever else I run into. :biggrin2:

Ah yes, the Cyclops shuffle. Won't be long since you helped write the book.:beerchug::beerchug:

Way to go Sam.( Here's another one just like the other one) Them's the kind i like to fix. Mike:beerchug:

Congrats on the 1864, Sam! Looks like a nice machine. :beerchug:

Glad to hear you got it running and discovered the problem. Nice looking outfit.

When the weather gets a bit warmer it will get it's turn in rehab. At the moment it's in cold storage. :biggrin2:

Well it's 81 here today, I'm lovin it. Got the new fuel pump today, installed it put some fresh gas in it and fired it up. Put it up on the lift. Thing runs nice! Looks like an easy one to fix up. :beerchug:

Very good DR. Cyclops.
No pictures?

:ThumbsUp:

Nope, I'm a slacker. I'll try to get with the program just for you Dr. Lew. :biggrin2:

Good job, Sam! I bet they are fun to ride. I've never driven an 1864.

Allen kind of like a 782 with tilt wheel and power steering. :biggrin2:

Lew a couple pics just for you. :beerchug:

Thanks for the pictures Sam, soon you will be cutting some grass.

Maybe not with this one but the 2264 is ready to go. Not going to pull the snow plow off the BX just yet, weather guessers are calling for cold end of next week. :bigthink:

Looks good buddy!

That fuel filter looks old, lol. Little rusty. Unless it's just dirt....
Is that a 54" deck?

Fuel filter will be getting replaced along with all of the fuel lines, tank bushings, shutoff's will be getting cleaned out, tank will get cleaned. Engine will get pulled out, tins removed, cooling fins cleaned, new crank seal if needed, all 3 CV joints cleaned and re-packed. Pressure washed. Hydro will get serviced, probably new axle seals. New wiring. And I'm sure some other crap. :biggrin2:

Deck is a 48 GT. I have a better 48 GT for it so this one will be for sale. :beerchug:

Comin' to this party a little late. Good looking Cub Sam! I was down your way visiting a friend in Floyd Va. I've been off the board for a week. Carry on!

1864 is looking good, Sam! :beerchug:

Sam,

I have a wiring harness from an 1864 if you need it. I was just in my garage looking at the pile o crap I need to get rid of.

I drove to Florida two weeks ago and went down I-81 to I-77 and wouldn’t you know it I saw a sign for Galax! That’s quite a hill to go over in the fog. :biggrin2:

I've been waiting for warm weather to get going on 1864 # 2. Got the engine out, fender pan is off, fuel tank is out now I need to get the water turned back on at my shop (I drain it for the winter) and get the pressure washer hooked up and give it a good bath, nasty critter. :beerchug:

Looks like it ought to smell too! Hopefully you don't find any Cyclops surprises in there Sam. :bigthink: :beerchug:

Guess the snow is gone down there. Hope winter is over for you! (And for me too!) Nothing but rain here.... for days now. But it's spring, and basically April. It's to be expected.

Ahhhhh. You've seen them worse. That one isn't too bad. :biggrin2:

Good to see you tinkering Sam.. that thing is not to dirty.. ive seen way worse!:biggrin2::biggrin2:

Should make a nice tractor with a little TLC!:beerchug:

You are the king of the cyclops Sam, it'll be good to go in no time.:beerchug:

:IH Trusted Hand::IH Trusted Hand:

Well it got introduced to the pressure washer today. What a filthy mess, I'll try to get some pics tomorrow. :beerchug:

Glad to hear you're enjoying tinkering on your cyclops. Wish it were warm enough up here in NY to pressure wash something. We had snow on Monday !

Sam's probably about ready to open the pool, lol!

Get it working Sam! Grass is growin'!!
