Bought a CC 100 today.

Needs total rehab but it's 99% there. Now I need to find a creeper because it doesnt have that. Also wouldnt mind more power so hopefully I could find a 14hp shortblock eventually. What engine number would that be? (someone posted that I can use the smaller flywheel and shroud on a bigger motor to make it blot right in. is 14hp the max size to do that with?)

One question I have is was there a rear pto option for these and can this diff accept that or is it a whole different diff?

Oh and does anyone make a repro metal seat? This has the seat but it's been repaired...

As to your query...
Yes.
Yes, no problem but pricy.
No, I wish someone did, I would think the seat would be pricy also.

Now we need picture of your new acquisition!!!!

12hp - K301
14hp - K321
16hp - K341

You can get a rear pto for it. It will cost more than its worth, imo, but it’s definitly cool. There’s a few special bits for it to work but no major major changes.

Not aware of repro metal seats, but good original ones can be found.

cool gompers, thanks. does that 16hp fit with just a flywheel/shroud swap? should I use the 12hp flywheel and shroud (assuming since thats the biggest NF engine size)? not sure I would do this but I save these topics for the future. Might get a snow thrower and/or build a small loader bucket setup someday and the extra HP might be needed...

Congratulations on the purchase. Looking forward to following the build.

Yup, definitely in the asylum.

You might consider building on up to a fleet of 2 or 3. One for a loader and one for a thrower. As this yellow fever sets in and you start researching that loader and learning hydraulics, you'll be looking for a ported hydro model to park next to the new machine. From what I gather, some snow storms call for a blade, and some for the thrower. Your 100 is one awesome tractor as it sits, hook it to the plow and find a hydro to run a thrower. If you keep your eyes peeled, you are likely to find the 2 in a package deal for less than the cost of a thrower, a big engine, and a gear splitter. Switch the storyline from snow thrower to roto tiller and you'll know why I decided to buy a running, driving 149 with all that and a hydraulic lift that needs a little work for $300. For me, it started last fall when I accidentally bought a broken 127 on eBay for $30. As of today, I have 4 Cubs, 4 other brand, and a whole pile of accessories. The 127's still broken, and I've got my eye on a broken Kubota that I neither need, nor have the space to store or time to repair.

I know the minute I was admitted to the asylum, one of the first lessons I learned is always going to be that the number of Cubs that you need is the number of Cubs you have plus one.

Kind of like when the senator (don't remember his name) was asked about guns, he said " I have more guns than I need and less guns than I want".

This project will take some time, as I need to buy stuff as it can be afforded. I want a creeper for sure, bar ag tires, and then all the usual consumables for example almost certainly a clutch disk and anything else that comes up. I will probably at least tear down, light overhaul the motor. Was considering having stuff sandblasted but just doing a small 1 cyl engine/trans last time cost $100 so having the frame, engine block, rear end housings, and all that would probably not be worth it and so I'll have to learn about paint stripper and power wire brush usage

. I'm sure the steering is loosey goosey and that wont do, so will have to go through that from end to end. I do have a lathe and (when I get it set up) Bridgeport which may help.

By the way, are there any downsides to up-powering one of these with say the 14 or 16hp (K321 K341) that was mentioned?

Couple more questions, what years do the creepers fit, and what years on the PTO if I see one?

Thanks for the replies!
