Default Working on the 107

Started getting the 107 in working order. My son and I have been fixing things up. Got the mowing deck wheels put on and new belt. Works nice. We finally got the plow to attach, don't think we had the right frame so we bought some shackles from TS to extend the brackets so we can use the quick attach system. Then we had to move the lift arm forward so we could get it to lift high enough. Works great now and even graded the driveway (could really use some wheel weights now). We also adjusted the gear selector so now she stays in forward while driving. Got the new front tires from GCT Wholesale on and have the rears on order. They look cool. Now that everything is working order we'll start paint prep next. OCC has been a very great help thanks all.

Lookin' good, I'm going to have to do quite a bit of rigging to get my cut up snow plow to fit again. Thanks for the ideas.

Thanks guys , boy sure isn't easy drilling that good old american steel from 40 years ago. I also had to shorten the frame rails on the plow and then grind new grooves for where it slides onto the tractor. Accidently grabbed the rail while hot and now have an imprssion branded in to my palm of the end. Ouch! all is good though.

Looks great! A word of caution- when you aren't using the PTO clutch it's better to leave it in the engaged position so the wear button doesn't wear out prematurely. They can be expensive to fix, something to watch out for.

I'm probably going to sound silly but what button are you refering to?

I believe he's refering to the little brass(I think) button on the lever that engages the pto for the mowing deck.

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.
