My Third 104
 

A few weeks ago I posted about a possible trade for another 104. Well today I made the trade. A JD RX75 rear engine rider for a 104. The 104 has busted steering, but was supposed to run good when it was parked after the steering busted. A little starting fluid and it started. The carb will need cleaning, and of course, the steering fix.

As you can see it's a little rough. When I was pulling it home, that left rear wheel looked to be Kubota orange in my rear view mirror.

I say....
 

You made out like the fox in a hen house!! Congrats. on your new tractor!:Cub4::IH Logo::Wave:

Yea I'd say that you did very well on that deal. Congrats on the new cub.

Nice trade , looks like it came with a 3 point lift arm . Makes it even better .

Great Deal.

Yes sir, I agree with the others, You definitely traded up on that deal :biggrin2.gif:
Congratulations on the new 104

It's pretty rough. The hydraulic unit is supposed to work. Noticed the brake/clutch pedal. The seat shell isn't too bad of shape - has a couple of repairs done to it, and there's another small crack that would need fixing. The rear tires are pretty dry rotted and crack, but they're holding air. The front rims are very rusty. I'll get it running, check out the hydraulics and the transmission and then decide what I'm going to do with it. The engine may go into a 123 that I have or I have my eye on Kevin Sander's wide frame that needs an engine.

Nice score on the 104, Terry! You definitely got the better end of the deal. :beerchug:

I didn't have much time to mess with it today. A couple of things I discovered today - the metal fuel line into the carb leaks pretty bad. It was in neutral when I got it, so I tried to put it into each gear. First okay, reverse okay, but second was tight and now it's locked in second gear. I have to remove the seat, fenders, and shifter to get the shifting forks unlock. BTDT with a 122.

Terry nice score on the 104!

102 Seat
 

Hey TMo.

Is that seat the same as on a 102? If so I have a nice one.

Terry ,
Nice steal,Gotta love those hydro units....

Terry,

When you're ready for 104 #4, let me know, I have one here that's calling your name.

Cadet Farmer,
The 102 I believe had a rubber seat - this one is the original fiberglass seat.

Mark,
Send that 104 down here. I'll make it a nice home.

Nice score! You do realize you have to paint your trailer at least black or silver or something neutral. It looks REALLY bad having a Cub sitting on a JD Green trailer! :biggrin2.gif:

Well the trailer is in need of a paint job. Next spring I'll probably replace the deck boards, and since I'll have the boards off, the trailer probably will get a fresh coat of paint. But it probably will be green again as I'm thinking that the ramp gate will be pretty hard to paint as is. But who knows?

Well I wouldn't say that.... Cuz a fox got in our hen house and trapped itself in, so we killed it...... so I'd say you made out like the fox in a house... without a door........ :biggrin2.gif:
