I know most will not beleive this but I got the 1200 back running yesterday! :Shocked: I've got to get the tins back on then I'll take some pics!

I got the rear axle cover plate to stop leaking oil too! I changed out the gasket and did a quick inspection and every thing looked great inside! Six hours later and no leaks! I didn't get any pics!:Spank: Going back out to the garage to get some more things done and will take the camera with me today.

Mid day update!

I got the IH weight box reinstalled and filled with some steel bars I had laying around. With the weight of the box, steel and chains I added another 217 lbs to the rear. I've got 575 lbs without me in the seat. That should help off set the lifting the kwik-way can do. I hope to keep the rear planted while I'm using hte loader. This model kwik-way is rated for 750 lbs but I've lifted the 1650 with loaded tires and wheel weights. I couldn't move it much before the rear started coming off the ground.:bash2: Time to do a retest and see if I improved keeping the rear planted.:beerchug:

Time to go out and get the 1200 buttoned up so I can list it for sale!

Opps forgot the pics!

I had to cut each steel bar and I hid the cut off scraps under the larger bars.:biggrin2:

Someone's planning on doing some serious lifting with that FEL. :biggrin2:

Diz Jr. 01-08-2012 04:52 PM

That ought to help keep the rear on the ground :beerchug:

Thanks buddy!

darkminion_17 01-08-2012 08:59 PM

Duke,
It is amazing how much one of those boxes hold.I have yet to put the one I have on my 125.
Allen,
Looks like Jenn likes you grandpa's cart too!
When are you putting on that freshly painted blade?

cub123 01-08-2012 09:13 PM

Looking good Duke! Love that FEL! Looks like you got a little seat time too Allen:biggrin2: I had to pull apart the fuel system on the O again today, turns out the seals for the fuel line I made turned to goo.... Cleaned it up and put the right ones in it. And I adjusted the turning brakes on the 982, now it spins around like a top, lol.

Good looking super! About how much were your tires on the rear? Im hoping to to get the 982 set up for plow day down there.

Vince_o 01-09-2012 10:50 PM

They are 4 ply true powers and I got them for 210 for 2 to the door. You cant beat these prices!

The 1872 looks great Vince! Better hurry up the 2072 will be there soon!

Vince_o 01-10-2012 06:37 AM

Duke

I wish you could have seen the look on Vince's face when we got the tires on. He looked at them, walked out looked at his, came back in , and said, man those are big! LOL I let him take it for a quick spin in in the dark.

I cant wait now to get yours. I wish I didnt have to work Sat morning Id hop a ride with todd and come up and hang out with you guys and shoot the breeze. Between getting this ready and the plow day Im getting really pumped up!

Seems that Jackie and crew had a get togeather last night about al of them coming down Fri night and camping The Bama Deere guys are comin in Fri night too. Its going to be a good get togeather this times. I hope that we have a good swap meet.

Vince and Evan think alike!:biggrin2: Evan loves his seat time too!

I don't think your going to have to do to much to get your 2072 up and running, but with changing out the rear for the CI should make it more fun!

Got to watch those Dixie Turf Toy boys it's hard telling what they are planning on getting into!:beer2:

MrGitrdone41 01-12-2012 09:47 PM

I got the fleet ready for snow after school. I hope we get snow some i go plow with the cubs and use the QA and make some $ for some cub stuff:biggrin2:

I've got Allen and Todd coming over this weekend. I got the 100, 71, O w/rear pto and 2072 at the house ready for the visit. The 100 and 71 will be for seat time. We'll get some seat time on the 125 FEL and the 1200. Waiting on a new steering wheel for the 1650 so no seat on it this weekend. Todd will be taking the 2072 to Vince and the O w/rear pto is his to add to his collection.:beerchug:

I'll get lots of pics for everyone too!:beer2:

Sweet looking 982!

I upgraded my 1450 to Farmall status! :biggrin2:

CADplans 01-13-2012 11:14 PM

It is Friday the 13th!! Can I reverse and post what I didn't do today??

I didn't unload the new Cubs yet.

It was too cold to get the 584 out, I can't figure out how to unload them without lifting them!!

http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...005640x426.jpg

That was a tight fit getting 3 GTs' on a 10 foot trailer.

We slid the unmounted 44C deck under the last one, all the side panels and snow blade frame are in the truck bed.

:HeadScratch: How did you get them loaded on there? or was it a bulk sale and got the trailer with the cubs thrown in for free? :biggrin2:
