I hope that's what you bought.
If you do the engine job yourself, it should cost you in the 250-350 range.
I've done 5 now over the last 3 years and that's about what it runs for machine work & parts if you go with after market stuff.
Where you at in WI??
Nice show coming up in Portage next month, July 7-9
I will be there w/cubs, stop by.
Will be good to kick back and relax after 7 days of working RPRU!!

Dave. Thanks for that little tidbit of info on the blower. I didn't know that there was a difference between the QA42 and a QA42A. I just re-looked at the Tag and it is indeed a QA42A model.
The PO had 6 CC tractors, but the "newest" was a 127. All of them were NF. Either he was mistaken, or doesn't really know, but he said the brackets were adjustable and would fit either the NF or a WF. His 127 had Hydro lift that he said was a factory option. That's not what Tractordata shows, but, then again, I am a neophyte on these tractors except for my project Cadet 95e.
If needed, I would have the engine and driveline done by an expert who knows what they are doing and could get it done in a timely manner. I'm not a fan of "after market" parts unless absolutely no other alternative is available. I have the know how, I rebuilt a '53 MG TD inline 4 a lot of years ago. I just do not have the desire or time to go through it again.
I assume that the Portage show is in Iowa? I am about 20-25 miles west of Milwaukee so it would have to be an overnight road trip. If there is a casino nearby it could turn into a long weekend. Hopefully a profitable one. Are you selling any of the cubs you are taking to the show?
Let me know about Portage.
Mike
