Hey Diz, was it uncomfortable mowing with that mail box post sticking out of the seat? :biggrin2.gif:

Diz Jr., Man what a view. For me, stuck in the city, that's just picture post card pertty.

hope the 169 mowed good since it was your bosses place. :biggrin2.gif:

That's odd, I have always had a LOT more trouble putting the other style spring assist on... lol Maybe it because I don't know what I'm doing.

Good one CBH, i hadn't noticed that, I was just parked real close to the mail box :biggrin2.gif:


RPalmer, It really is scenic out there. Its fun to go there and turn the Cub loose.


ihnick, It mowed really nice. My boss (Wade) hates to mow. So he's not to particular, as long as he doesnt have to mow it he's happy :biggrin2.gif:

The one I put on the 104 was my first. I stuck the spring in from the rear then went to the rock shaft and attached the rod to the spring and clamped it.

The wide frame was my first and after trying to do it the same way I had to put in the spring then attach that to the rear bracket to hold that part in place then remove it and attach the rod without the front bracket. Then I sorta hoped the rear would stay in place and between switching sides several times and standing on my head just to see what I need to do without looking got it on. There is no love loss between me and my 129. And I thought this was just another good example about how they require much more time to work on. Not that I'm on the clock or in a hurry. But after having the narrow spring assist basically slide into place this just added fuel to my fire. And WHY did IH do away with the cool old school hood latches like on my 104? I had to put the latches on the 129. I see why someone would pitch them. - Peace -

Great pics Diz! You should of pulled that old tree stump out while you were there. :biggrin2.gif: :ROTF1:

Yes I find my 100 and NF a joy to work on. The WF.... the only good part with that is being done.:biggrin2.gif: If I had 3 or 4 hands I might even like driving the 129.

My mind has become too simple for that.

Hey Wild Bill,
Yea its been a great tractor. I wanted to take it out there this time because the grass was pretty thick in places. I wanted to see how it pulled through the deep stuff. Its amazing the difference 2 H.P. makes. The 149 does great but this 169 will really hog through the grass.


TEET,
If i would have had my wheel weights on i would have tried it. :ExtremeFunny:

Great job, RPalmer! :beerchug:

Nice pics Diz, I always enjoy them! :ThumbsUp:

I got the 73 out today to let my 9 year old take it for a spin around the yard. He did pretty well considering its his first try on a gear drive tractor. He's been doing really well with the 127, I figured he was ready to tackle the 73. I forgot how quick it is in 3rd gear :biggrin2.gif: He pretty much stayed in 2nd the whole time.....Sorry the vid quality is poor...crappy old Kodak camera.

What I did with my cub cadets today was take pictures of them all lined up. From left to right is my 982, my 682 and my 582.

TEET,
Cool video. Your 73 looks good and sounds good to :ThumbsUp:
Looks like your 9 year old has it figured out :biggrin2.gif:



ajgross,
Thats a beautiful line up :IH Logo:

Loaded the 6-12 ags in my 73 today...what a pain in the butt!!! Bought one of those adaptors with bleeder valve at TSC and tried filling it with a funnel...was taking WAY too long. Then I bought one of those supposedly self-priming drill pumps...it was useless. Spent way more time trying to get the pump to work than I ought to have. After I cleaned up the mess all over the floor it was about 2.5 hours to fill the tires. Not nearly as quick as I would have hoped. The good thing is that they're loaded now. Added about 30 lbs per tire. Once the snow plow is mounted, let the snow start flying!!! Oh yeah, then I took my lawn sweeper out and picked up a ton of leaves with the 73. Jason

TEET,

Looks like YOU doing yard work might soon be a thing of the past. Great stuff.

ajgross,

Nice family shot. You could be found guilty of creating envy.:biggrin2.gif:

jfinney,
Sorry to here your drill pump didnt work out :bash2: Mine worked great right out of the package.

Diz Jr, where'd you get your pump? I'm assuming you drew from a bucket or something and then just pressed the breeder valve on the adaptor periodically? How long did it take you to fill your tires? Jason

I bought mine at local hardware store (do it center)

Took about 1/2 hour each tire.
Just run the drill hard as it would go. Keep filling the bucket. Stop every once and a while and let the air out. As it gets fuller you have to stop more often. (Not as much air space left)

Nice vid and pics, Jeff!

Great pics of your cubs, AJ!

Got some seat time today. Look at how deep the leaves are!

GEEEEE WHIZZZZ ACecil.
You are really giving that sweeper a work out this year :biggrin2.gif:

You got that right, Diz! :ThumbsUp:

ACecil,
Do you Guys get snow? Are you planning on using the 100 for snow removal?

Cleaned up the last of the leaves
 

Took a few pics of the 1811 after I used it on the last of the leaves before the deck comes off and the blower goes on.
Thanks All,Bob

:beerchug::beerchug:

Sweet line up there Aj....nice pieces of IH Iron there!!

Gotta add some more pictures of those to your profile!:beer2:

Bill-

That's a GT46. I have one on my 782D.

Nice 1811, Bob!

Thanks for the nice comments, guys! :beerchug:

RPalmer: We don't get much snow here, so there's none for the 100, to play in. :biggrin2.gif:

BThein,
Great pictures :Thanks:

Beautiful 1811 Bob! I wish my 1211 looked that nice!

Jeff (teet)

DING ,DING, DING, Matt's right, it's a 46GT came with a bagger I have never used.Thanks for the nice comments I have really grown to like this machine. I got it with the classic goveror takes out the cam problem ,got it squared away and used it all summer .I plan to use it to blow snow this winter, others including Matt say it should work pretty well.
Thanks Again, Bob

I put my cub to work for the first time tonight, hauling the leftovers from this guy into the pasture for the coyotes. Sorry I didn't get any pics of the tractor at work, it was late.

Nice buck stitch :ThumbsUp:

Stitch,
NICE!!! Great rack on that.

dang. i should of used my cub and trailer to get my deer instead of 4wheeler and trailer.:BangPC:

That's right, Nick. Our cubs can do lots of things, around the house. I always try to find uses for the 100. :beerchug:

haha. same here acecil

Thanks everybody! He's only going to score in the low 140's due to lack of mass, but I'm proud of him!

Wild Bill,
I have been thinking about getting one of mine ready,but i am still mowing a little grass here. Warm as its been this week i am going to have to mow around here by this weekend. But the snow cant be far away i figure :biggrin2.gif:

Did you order the parts new, or is that a collection of used parts? I need to set up my 782 with a sleeve hitch.

THanks.
