Well today i finally got the duals for the 108 and love the row crop look this tractor is shaping up to be! So i didnt just stop there and after looking long and thinking hard on it i decided i needed a grille, as the original one is starting to melt pretty badly. After scavenging through my scrap piles i found an old bbq grill and stole the grate out of it, cut it down, sanded, painted it and installed my favorite IH emblem. The difference is outstanding! The looks are much better improved i think, and now more air can flow through without melting the grill in the process. Overall i think its turning out great! Also i had new front tires put on the 1650 i just recently aquired from fellow member Logan. :beerchug:

The cubs are looking good, Dan!

Wire grills are GREAT!! Or should I say GRATE!!

Camp work bee!
 

Every year for the past 15 years my family has gone to a christian family camp on a lake about 4 hours from here. The camp is about 80 some years old, and is really as away from it all as you can get. Its beautiful, and many lives have been changed there. for the past couple years since i got my cubs, I always took one with me and graded the half mile long entrance rode as erosion made it almost impassable to some of the small cars. every summer the camp has a workbee to cut grass, fix things and generally improve things. I've wanted to go for many years but havent been able to. my Graduation ceremony was that weekend as well, but I needed an excuse to skip it :)
I took the 1650 with box blade, 1250 #2 with 50 inch deck and hitch for sprayer, and a 149 with a tiller. on the trailer my dad bought for me and my dads truck. he filled it with fuel and told me to have fun. thanks dad!

some of the stuff the other guys were working on. building the new chapel! the old one is as old as the camp, and too small for the 250+ people at a family camp.

and building new trailer stalls. I was able to do a bit of grading, but not well, too soft. a bobcat came and spread out the piles. it was a great weekend, was good to go up there and contribute. thanks to all of you in helping me get these machines to a point that they can benefit people like this!

Nice talking to you too Sam! You will have to come back when you can stay longer!

Nice work on you know who's CI rear Vince!:biggrin2:

Well we have been rolling or baling hay for the past 2 weeks and we rolled the hay at my house and their was one little roll at the end so just for laughs I fired the 1450 up with my Carry-All and backed up under it and picked it up and moved it around.:biggrin2:

Nice! Now i need to get behind the 8 ball and get that cub sized IH rake and round baler built! :beerchug: But right after the planter that is coming soon :Shhhh:

Vince, I wonder who that is? :biggrin2:

Great pics, guys!

That looks cool, not too much to make the front end stand up? LOL

Dont know whos it will end up on. Sam tried to buy it last night, just joking Allen!

Got some seat time on Dually. Our Sycamore tree is shedding it's bark. Out comes Dually and the lawn sweeper!

We also worked on the 1872 some today. Got the hydro lever to move freely. Tomorrow we're gonna fire it up! :ThumbsUp:

You have been busy Allen.

Cut the grass today with the 71 and 582.Sold the 126 today so I am on the hunt...

Thanks Lew! It has been a busy day, but we like it that way. :beerchug:

Great picture ACecil, your grass is greener than mine.
Been really dry here, it is raining a little here this morning.

Update to post #4901
 

Well, back a couple pages in post #4901 I posted some pics of my disassembled 1862. I got the new ignition module put in and had the starter rebuilt and the thing starts up within what seems like 1 revolution. So for a little celebration I bought some accessories for the Cub. Now normally I'm not a fan of wide rear ends, but this kind of grows on me.

This will be my winter setup once I get them filled and put some studs on them. Right now it completely blocks the mower bagger chute and I also had to take the right side deck wheel off.

Great looking cub, 123Pokey321! I like the duals.

Did some more lawn sweeping with Dually today.

Looking good ACecil :ThumbsUp:

Looks like your having fun. Glad to see that you have the hat on. :biggrin2:

Thanks guys!

You know it, Sam. I don't want my bald head to burn. :biggrin2:

I've got that same sweeper now Allen....works great behind the Ugly O !

I hear ya, John. I've had mine seven years now and it still works great!

Any updates buddy?

We tried to fire it up Sunday, but no go. It'll be a runner this weekend! :beerchug:

You will be up and running in no time Allen!:beerchug:

Took a couple pics of the 147 and listed it on Craig's list. :biggrin2:

Thanks Mike! I can't wait!

The 147 is looking good, Sam!

And the reason it won't fire up would be? :bigthink:

Holler if you need help.

Mac

It's the carb, Sam. It's going to be rebuilt this weekend. :beerchug:
