I had a really junky “burn pile” out back, that was full of bed springs and rocks, bricks, ceramic toilet fragments, etc. I need to build a Cub barn so I decided to clean this site up and build it here. The ground is slightly off level so I used the rocks and bricks as filler and top soil on top from around the site. I had to build up about 2’ at the lowest part. Most of this was done with my 122 and dozer blade, with an assist from the 1912 with the moldboard plow for breaking the sod and ground up around the area, and my JD 314 with cultivator for breaking the bigger chunks down to smaller stuff to push around. It’s been so dry here the top soil pushed like baby powder. And I have a pretty full trailer of scrap metal to take to recycle to make a few bucks for my hard work. The 1872 got into the action to pull my trailer up in to the yard to load up. I’ll have to have some dirt brought in to finish the job around the perimeters and a load of stone for a base yet, so there will be more for the 122 to do.

The 122 has a K301 out of a 1250 that I swapped the flywheel and shroud, and PTO clutch over to from the original engine. It runs like a top and this tractor is a little power house.

Now, pics.

Perfect way to spend a day on all counts it seems all across the land.
Spent the afternoon getting this new to me combo united. Pretty much
kicked my backside getting it hooked up but I got it. Will obviously need
to build some kind of stand to get it at the right height for the attachment
process. Little grease and some adjustments and it ran just fine.
Made me smile, wish it would snow......NOT.

Default 107's got lights

Tonight, finally got around to finishing up the wiring for the 107's custom dual LED headlights. She's also sporting a new fuel tank, thankfully no more leaks!

Here's before, notice the large jumble of wire on the left of the dash tower. The light kit came with a lot of extra wiring. Also notice the hunky out-of-place switch. (can be seen near the bottom left corner of the 2nd pic, sorry it's kinda hard to spot)

IMG_20201105_205621.jpg IMG_20201105_205906.jpg

Now, the wiring is all neat, no more jumbled mess. Got a different switch, up behind the PTO handle where the stock light switch would go. (I would use a correct push-pull switch if I could figure out how to get it off my parts tractor) Not the best wiring, it's only held down with electrical tape, but I have plenty of time to make it better if I ever want to. No holes were drilled anywhere in the tractor to mount the lights, simply a piece of aluminum was cut and bent to fit in a slot beneath the battery box. I think it turned out pretty well, and the lights are super bright and use almost no battery power.

Also, note the piece of rubber behind the battery hiding the wiring in the dash tower, that was original to the tractor and I made sure to keep it. Even our cat wanted to join in with the fun, but it turned out she was too tired

Mowed the lawn for probably the last time for the season. Gave the 107 and the 1440 some seat time. Interestingly, the 42" deck on the 107 did a better job atomizing the leaves than the 44" on the 1440.

Soon time to put the snowblower on the 1440 and for the 107 to take a Winter's nap.

Default Engine swap:

I don't post here often, I know. But I really appreciate the resources from this forum. My QL 1250's engine was getting a lil smokey. So maybe a month ago I bought a Wheelhorse off CL. It was a C-145, no deck, with a k341, and ran real good, but as I was going to get the money, I heard him yelp, looked back and the machine was smoking. But he got it started again and when the guy loaded it to his truck he had these steep as heck ramps that didn't make the WH sputter. So I had a donor. I figured whatever grounded out, wasn't important as the machine ran after.
Fast forward, I get parts changed around, and there's a "no spark" issue. Chased things down with the help of this forum and it's members and got it firing again. Put all the front end parts and panels back on and was able to finish up the last of the leaves today. It runs probably better then the thing did when I'd first built it. Looking down at the deck today, I can probably say my old 12hp was probably getting tired for the last 2 years, cause the spindles now spin like a media outlet. Now mind you I went up 4 hp in this swap, and this will give me time to get the 301 rebuilt so my girl has another motor in the wings. I'd of been lost without the help of these forums. I'm mechanical, but not a mechanic. One thing I can do is follow directions pretty good......So thanks. Now if I just had some help putting my garage back together.

Eric

Great post!

GLad you got it home and running. Did you ever find out what the smoking was all about?


Congrats!
John

No there's multiple wires completely gone on the WH. I mean it smoked them to the point of being a connection point and a few frayed wires. I don't know WH and where they went, and really didn't care the day I was getting it, cause he got it fired up and on his truck. I didn't realize it had smoked the coil till I put it all back together. But it ran to get it on the truck so I was confused. So it was apparently it's last hurrah. I was so disheartened when I got it in the cub, but thanks to this forum, so many people had my problems before I didn't even have to post. I Just did all the crap everyone had already said to do. Cleaned all grounds, cleaned the point, but then I removed and checked that coil that was on the 341. It was bad, and I just put the one from the 301 and the condenser since I was there, and bamm. The ole girl perked up and spit out leafs like I'd never seen. This forum is such a life saver.

PS I got a C145 for sale with no motor....lol

Default Not so much today, but yesterday, and over the previous couple months....

I picked up a '70 - 147 earlier this summer in non-running condition. Had compression, and knew it ran a year prior. A bad connection for the negative wire on the battery, and then we had spark. Cleaned the tank, fuel system, carb, a new plug and it was alive again. At that point it was worth changing the oil, but haven't gotten to the rear end yet. A new muffler since there wasn't a bottom on the old one, and the glass-pack sound was gone. The lights didn't work, so dug into that one, found another bad connection, and she can work in the dark again. Replaced the dry-rotted rear tires/tubes and filled them with RV antifreeze. One front tire was new prior to me, so replaced the other, and put new tubes in both. She was hard to steer, with that loader not helping the situation much either, so pulled the front spindles, cleaned out 50 years of dirt/crust, installed new zerks, and greased the snot out of them, and now it steers again. Factory Cub seat went on sale at Northern tool a month ago, so now it has a new seat. Have factory replacement lights for the rear, but am going to wait to put those on, until after it gets torn down, cleaned up and a new coat of paint.
Overall, I'm impressed at how well this little machine works. Surprisingly, it can actually do some digging with the straight edge loader bucket, without removing the front segment to expose the teeth. I have a 50" JD core aerator with 6 cinder blocks on it, that my 24hp JD ZTR struggled with on my biggest hill, that this little tractor groaned a little, but drug that thing right up it. A couple of my neighbors had similar Cubs back in the day, and really get a kick out of me tooling around the yard and doing chores with it (with a big dumb-ass grin on my face the entire time). It even easily can carry a cooler of adult beverages in the bucket to "safety meetings" at the neighbors...
Love this site, love reading and seeing what others have done/are doing to/with theirs, and I've gotten tons of technical help from all of you, and your experiences. Thank you.
The most fun part, is when "Little Man" asks me if we can go out and do some WORK with the loader today. He gets disappointed if we're doing anything with any of the other Acreage toys....

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.
