108 new addition
 
Well i bought a 108, when i looked at it i thought it was pretty beat down. After getting her in the shop I discovered it was in really good condition, so I decided to keep it. Not sure what we are going to do with it right now.
Thinking of putting my rebuilt 14hp in it.
Also got a great power washer in the deal.

Forgot to mention I had to travel 500' to get it lol awsome deal.
If I install the 14hp wounder if I should put 148 decals?

Omg the PO used what looks like a 30w oil in the rear-end.
Cleaned it out with diesel found some shavings, Think it's ok?... put new Hytran back in. Amazed how she runs. Paid $275 for the cub and Power washer.

That's a sweet 108 Keith. I've often thought about making the tractor they never built, either a 148 or a 168. Not sure why they didn't but they should have. Yours looks very good and original paint? Looks just like one of mine, thinking it has the old good year ags?

Those little Honda pws are decent and new are about what you paid for the tractor.

PS how great is it that you got a pw and a cub. It's the first thing most of us do when we get one, clean off the 40 years of grime!

I think those metal shavings are abby normal. You need to see what the condition of the gears under the shifter cover look like.

You have to find your tractors a little closer though.

That 108 is in great condition, other than the steel shavings. I think someone ground the gears and that is a result......perhaps she needs clutch work or has had some clutch work after the problem persisted a while. Nonetheless, its a good looking cub and a gear drive 14 hp would be a real powerhouse!! With a 14 hp engine, I am sure a lot of pullers would like to score it from you Nice find Keith!

Great looking 108, Nightow1.

Really like that 148, sawdustdad.

Ok , probably a dumb question, but I have a new wiring harness for a 147, would it work or be close to the 108 harness?
