What did you do with your Cub Today?

[darkminion_17]

Cleaned a dirty hydro today so I can split the 125 to change a bent drive shaft.Looks like a few shims in the trunion too.
Jude,
Somewhere out there is a manual that helps you fix this stuff.Yeah it prolly can be fixed but you have to remove it first.Only 7"?
you gotta have about 5' on the ground now!!

Looks like everybody has been cleaning today.

Steve. looks great. Those are on my list for the 782.

Look good Jude, All snow for you, it rained all day hear. Their calling for snow tomorrow.

Looks alot cleaner Lew.

I wanted to get the 18 mag tonight and tear into it but with all the rain I wa able to get it from my buddy's shed, his yard was like a lake. Oh well maybe tomorrow. I did gt some stuff done on it tonight though, I got the fenders off and started cleaning it up a little. It looks pretty good under the tins Shouldn't need to much to get it going aftet I get power to it. I drained the rear end the rest of the way, the kid had drained it for Joe to check the axle splines. It looks as good as new in there, no suprise. Tried cleaning up the tins a little their not as bad as thought. I'm headed down to see Rich tomorrow for some parts wanted to go today but work decided I needed to wait till tomorrow, lol.

KICK-arse video.

Some of my neighbors just rolled their eyes when they 1st. saw my snowblower on my 109. I had the last laugh.
They couldn't believe what this old machine could do.

It was fun.

Nik,

Nik,

Lew, I do have the owners and service manuals for the 124. In the service manual it doesn't tell you how to remove the brake lining retainer, this is why I asked I'll start a thread on it if I don't get any good answers in this one. Funny thing about the snow, oh ya, it's doing it right now I love the snow, but I'm getting a little tired of it all.

Thanks Eric! Looking good on your end too

Thanks to you also Allen...

Nik, Thanks buddy! I do get some looks from people driving by, some do a double take

The brake lining retainer is just held in by the O ring,you should be able to knock it out with a wooden dowel and a hammer....

Today I changed out the bad drive shaft on the 125.I blocked the front wheels on both side to keep the whole thing from moving.Disconnected the battery also.The tractor was held level in place with the spackle buckets,which were the right height for under the foot rest.These help keep the tractor from tipping over once the rear is removed.Then I removed the hydro linkage off the cam plate,then removed the brake linkage off the brake arm.Apparently the drive shaft was not bent.The input shaft on the pump side was wallowed out,rag joint was torn and the little teat that is on the end of the drive shaft was bad.Whilest I was in there I took a look at the trunion,not bad,but I had to take the the slop out of the cam and plate assembly.I had these balance gear shims,worked well for the cam assembly.I picked up a few 18 ga. machine bushings for the damper plate,only needed one.Put it all back together,the rubber band came in handy to hold the brake linkage up so it makes it over the rock shaft.BTDT.Slid it back in and reconnected everything.The paint stick worked well holding up the drive shaft and guiding it through the fan shroud and the air baffle plate.I still have to test it out and see if it creeps.I did remember to mark the location of the cam plate assembly before I removed It.Just a note.If you are trying to free up the hydro release valves,you do not need to completely pull the rear out.As long as you remove the bolts on the frame that hold the rear on,you can slide the tranny back as far as you need to access them.This keeps the trans brackets on the frame and keeps it from falling out.

Great work Lew! Nice pics and tips too

I got the brake retainer out tonight, was wondering how much brake pad there should be?? I have like a mm of pad sticking out.

Looking great Lew, .

Jude, look what reared it's ugly head again tonight, 1" to 3" tonight, and 4" to 6" tomorrow .

I did get a really nice set of fender's from Rich today at Patton acres. I also got the elusive CCC grill emblem, and a few other little things while I was there. I just love that place!!! Here's a couple shots from tonight, Got the fenders on and did some more cleaning on it. Cleaned the grill and it looks really nice. Cut a new rear end gasket and put the over back on. I still need to find a seat and a hood ornament for it and a few other things but they'll wait. I clean up all the oil and grease from under the hood, she's all ready for the 18 mag. Hopfully I can get the motor tomorrow and get to work on it this weekend. I'm not going to do much more till I get it repowered. After that I'm going to break it down and repaint the whole tractor.
