What I've been up to
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!

I also replaced all the steering ball joints and snugged up the steering box.
  I also replaced the trunnion springs (sorry no pics yet), but I had noticed there was a lot of play in the shift linkage ball joint so i replaced that one too. I wanted to do the one up front but it seemed tight so I left it.  now, I'm stripping it down for paint. I'm hoping to finish buttoning it up by the end of october, so I can then get to work on the QA-42 for wintertime! there are other parts of the project i don't have pics of yet, but if I can sneak out during nap times, I'll try to snap some more.

I couldn't think of a better distraction than spending time with a cute little one like that! Great work on your tractor. Looks like it was time for some repair and you have done a nice job tending to it. Keep it up!

Air line tube is not designed for: heat, or oil. I have seen air line melt where it was simply laying on a hydraulic line. It also is not designed for continued contact with oil. Not trying to be critical, but I'm afraid after getting the tractor running, your going to end up with a very large leak!

Thanks for the concern, but fear not, this hose is rated for low pressure hydraulic use, and is good up to 250 degrees. i figure if I make my rear end that hot, i have bigger issues. and I figure being a suction tube is a fairly low pressure situation, and I did install fittings to prevent it from collapsing. time will tell, though!

I think you are doing a very fine job on your repairs. I'm sure my 147 could use some of those.

I like how you are going over it methodically.
Good Job. Just wait 16 years more and your little one will be a beautiful handful and the years will pass in what it seems just a couple!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
