Hello guys! Well, I just wanted to update what I have been up to in my IH Cub Cadet addictions!
Last week at work I got my hand and arm caught in a puller used in an extrusion line. I was hurt quite badly, but nothing broke and no stitches required. More so was nightmares about the accident, if you can imagine being pulled into a huge chipper shredder. This puller was huge. Thank God for all safety stop switches!
Anyhow, this limited my progress on my IHCC projects, as of today, my arm stopped feeling numb.
125: I got a carb. kit for the carb. I need to clean and install it to the 125. Also got Kohler engine oil and two gallons of Hy-Tran from my local dealer. Still much cleaning and assembling to go before it's ready to start!
1450: It's in good running order. Just sitting pretty in the garage under a cover. Has been a nice mower this season with the IH 38" deck I put on it!
Snowplow project: I have been in the process of adding 7" to each side of my good condition IH 42" push blade for an over-all width of 56" ! I used 14" from an old IH 42" push blade that seen better days. The project is coming along great! It's going to be a stout blade for sure. Not going to use it for dirt/gravel duty. It's been my experience that these awesome IHCC garden tractors when properly equipped, are more tractor that these blade units can handle when using for dirt and gravel stuff! This IH 56" blade will be painted and ready for mount on my all-gear drive IHCC model 72.
Thanks!
That's all for now!
