Hi everyone! it's been a while since I posted, i've been reading reading lot and occasionally responding to a post but the little lady on the left has kept me pretty busy lately. 10 1/2 months now! (I think she's 6 months in this picture)
as for the cubs, my 72 is still slogging along as a faithful footsoldier as I have my 125 almost completely dismantled. It started out like this:
My PTO was in terrible shape
so i rebuilt it and bought a few new parts.
next, my suction tube had started leaking, and after removing it and a close inspection, it had a hairline crack where the crush fitting sat on the bottom feed. that explains why the leak got worse when I tightened it.
in this one, it's hard to see but there's a thin line of hytran that's seeped through the crack.
Anyways, rather than spend big bucks on the cub factory replacement (the original style is NLA), i fabricated my own with some heavy duty tubing and air-line plumbing used on Semi trucks and some fatherly tutelage.
the design changed a few times, but this was the end result.
next, while the tractor was split, I noticed the drive pin on the drive shaft was pretty much shot.
So that got replaced with the correct part.
more to come!
