What did you do with your Cub Today?

[ACecil]

Thanks guys!

Duke, Jenn stole my thunder. While I was unloading the mums to the woods, she took the shovel and pulled them out...lol.

That would be my fualt! Price and weight is the big reason. The sears sell for $50 for 70lbs and the IH are $125 for 52lbs. I wanted the weight when I had the danco on the 122 and left them on their for Allen so they wouldn't have to take them off. Allen got me a replacement set that I still need to paint and mount on one of my plowing tractors.

The last 2 nights, I've fired up the 1712, took the front blade off, hooked up the cart, and hauled loads of goodies through the creek, and to the back part of my property. I need to take the started off and clean it again. Man I hate that loud GRRRR the starter makes!

LOL AJ! I noticed that too. I bought a 147 about 6 years ago, and it had the same style of weights on it...I kept them (they are 62lbs a piece) and use them on some turfs with chains in the winter. I think Lonny Buttke also has a set of them on one of his tractors

Dang 62lbs each! I need a set of those! Sounds like you've been able to get some non-snow removal seat time BIll.

Dang her! Wait till the next time I talk to her!

Got into the 124 tonight. Pulled the head and found a little carbon buildup. Looks like there was a little blow by so I'll need to address that. Any recommendations for the valves?? I'll get it'll all cleaned up and see what they look like. It was running good so I don't want to dismantle any more of it. Also took the rear apart some more, pulled axle seals, bushings look to be in very good shape. Will need to clean out gear box as its got some crud in the bottom of it, but looks good otherwise Pulled brake pads and now just need to start ordering new parts. Was hoping to sell this tractor when I'm done with it, but I don't know

That 124 sounds good when it's running. Can't wait to hear it after the carbon is removed.

Put the Ag tires on the 149 today. Then I assembled the new Agri Fab broadcast spreader, which I'll be using very shortly. I also bought an aerator to use on the lawn and cancelled my annual lawn fertilizer contract. I'll be bringing in some loads of topsoil soon too, and will have fun moving it around. Can't wait!

Forgot to add a photo....here's my Cubs, ready for work.

Nice looking tractors Mooner, make sure you get some action shots.

I didn't work on them today, spent most of the day at the auction. Came home empty handed. Had some nice Cubs, probably 20 o 25 nice cubs. And at least 200 garden tractors. Little cold but it was fun. Passed up on an IH built 682 it was pretty rough and went for $375. Oh well maybe next time. I did find a deal on a set of cub rims with factory Firestone turfs on them for 20 bucks on CL though, going to pick them up in the morning.

Ya me too Duke! Hopefully won't be to long before it's back in the tractor!

Mooner, nice arsenal

Thanks Eric!! Here's a couple of update pics, just went out and cleaned er up a bit

[ACecil]

Great looking cubs, Mooner!
