Todd, Allen
Tried to improve this hinge area by building a new hinge strap and spot welding it in place. (this was whittled out of a chunk from the tower sheet metal of the 147) This should help support this end of the hinged flap, even if the paint still chips. So that was tonight's project. Kind of cheated a little not taking it all back apart, but had the best alignment jig by welding it on in place. Then cleaning up the weld spatter and dusting with some fresh paint. Not quite original but close enough for me.
I did get the support bracket for the tractor gear box in primer while I was resting too.
Hope things are good in Cub land!
Off to look at Todd's pictures of the 100 restoration progress and then turning in!
Regards,
Chris

Hi, Chris the tiller looks great I have one I need too restore also. I was curious as to what type of lube you used in the chain case and how much it took to fill it?
Thanks, Wally

Wally,
I could not find info on the chain lube. Here's what I did and right or wrong. First what I found when I took this apart was a very thick goop that was much closer to grease then thick oil. So when I went to reassembly it I used wheel bearing grease and plenty of it on the chains and sprockets. Maybe should have been 90 weight oil? These chains are very heavy duty and both sets of chains that I have don't seem to be worn much and the gears looked great. I guess what I am saying is that these could just about run dry, and by the looks had for years, and still have good life remaining. The manual says these gear boxes / chains never need service, There are no ports or checking for fluid levels.
Regards,
Chris

If you found grease in there, it probably was grease to begin with. I don't think 90W would stay in there...the sealing of that case isn't meant for that.

Chris,
Nice work on the restoration 15 pages was a fair amount of stuff to read

I have a 1A tiller I use on my 125 ( and 122 ). I purchased deeper V pulleys for the mule drive from NAPA, part number 7-05212 ( you need two ) and also the long drive belt from the PTO to the angle. I have an early 125 and it was belt AX-144 ( shorter belt iirc ). I also purchased the tiller belt but forgot to get that belt number, I'll add it later. The NAPA belts work great and have a big cost savings.
tiller belt 3VX530

These units are really heavy duty. Right after I got mine, my next door wanted to put a garden in. I cut right thru the sod and by the second pass was down at full depth.

My wife saw how well that worked and I ended up "sculpting" down a dirt mound that was here when we purchased the property in '03. I flipped up the back shield and just backed the tiller right in. It worked great.

Started with this


and when finished


Here's the set up on my 125 ( fluid filled 10.50's on the back -- I had the 8.50 ags and 62 lb gilson weights on the 122 with the blade )


The 125 & 1A "chewing" away


Jeff

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.
