Matt and William,
Thank you so much for your input!
Matt, I was thinking about this project today, and I have to totally agree with you. In regard to the clutch and driveline, there is really no reason for me to go beyond the OEM configuration. I just need to get it back to what it was.
I'm not ruling out the addition of the creeper, as I will be adding some of the other available options on this tractor:
Headlights.
Rear Lift.
Spring assist.
I guess that what I am getting at is that this little guy will be a "half-ass" trailer queen. -lol
To make it happen, I'm going to drop some of the other Cub projects that I had in the works. The 582 is on the block, the 400hr 1450 is a goner, Didier Hydra-Sickle, parting out the 2072, 782... I need to get all of this on the 'For Sale' thread... Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting this 1200 back to par.
William, what's the story behind the bearing replacement? I'd like to learn more about it.
Thank you all again for your input and insight!
