129 questions
 

so today i pulled my 129 up to clean it. so when i pulled the tunnel cover off to get to the trans i discovered that one of my fan blades is broken off and another is cracked:bash2:. so im lost and dont know if i should buy a new one or what. any help is appreacted.

To me it would be a great time to check your drive shaft and pins and bushings while replacing the fan. Not a difficult job.

but do you think it should be replaced? or is it ok ok to leave it?

the correct thing to say is you should replace fan so as not to overheat pump. i say its probably been broken for the last ten years and you could probably take a few more blades off without noticing. if it were me ide check pins like mentioned and if all tight button it back up but then my yard is less than an acre of flat terrain so my 105 doesnt strain.

ya i got the tractor last august from my uncle who didnt take that great care of it so it probally has been broken for a while. and my yard is less than an acre too but its 100+ degrees here in chicago land.

i bet if everyone here checked youd find more than a few with broken fan blades. lots of old machines.

i would like to add one more thing, whats the cost of the fan? if its cheap, well yeah just replace it. im not gonna argue over a 20 dollar part.


edit: forum sponsor has it for 10 bucks... http://www.cubclassics.com/images/C111.jpg http://www.cubclassics.com/cubparts2.html

It's a 10 dollar fan and preventative maintenance helps prevent larger problems down the road. Replace the fan in about 30 min. and check that off your to-do list along with checking pins and connections.

well i called this thread questions be cause there is more. so gonna change the trans fluid in the 129 soon and was wondering if automatic transmition fluid would work considering i have no hydo lift. i was thinking about like mopar AT-F +4 would work?

I would stick with hytran you can get it at farm and fleet I do believe I know farmking here carries it. Somewhere in the range of 20 bucks for a gallon iirc. Not a bad price for the extra insurence ...afterall that is what they call for
