3 DEGREES!! :bigeyes: THAT'S A LITTLE CHILLY !!

Great pic, mudpup! The 70 and #2 cart are cool! :beerchug:

I had to get some seat time in, so I hauled one branch to the woods...LOL. Plus, I had to try the backrest out. :biggrin2.gif:

The framework is a custom build. I modified a mule drive and built the rest. Here are a few pictures.
This is a alternator:

You have to watch the ones that have the generator/alternator as one unit. The shaft on the generator/alternator is tapered. This alternator was designed to be mounted to a garden tractor like I have it.

mudpup,
Thats a good Cub that will start when its 3 degrees :biggrin2.gif:


ACecil,
100 looks good with the newly covered backrest :ThumbsUp:

Nice looking tractors guys!

bignastyGS: nice ags, makes me wish I had the extra coin

I changed grille castings on the 782 (it now has a red one to match the rest of the tractor) and put on the weights, chains, and QA-36A. I put a new U-joint on the chute rotator. Tomorrow I'll pull my new-to-me 70 into the garage and try to get it fixed up, and I gotta drag 582 #2 back into the garage and finish it. I've also gotta go look at a 682 soon.

Matt...it seems that you always have a Cub project in the works! :bigeyes:
We like photos!!

Nice blade, bignastyGS! :beerchug:

bignastyGS,
Nice front blade :ThumbsUp:

Here's the 782 all ready for winter...

The 70 is now in the garage and in a few large pieces. The shifter is broken and needs welding, the gas tank leaks, and the PTO clutch is trashed. Hopefully I can fix most of that over the next couple of days.

Your 782 looks great, Matt! :beerchug:

I'm really liking the 782,982's more and more..Nice looking !!

my 1650 snowblower came with a homeade add on shoot kinda like that. nice looking snow removal rig

Great deal on the plow bignastygs. Mine looked worse than that when I bought it, I got mine for 50 bucks with no connecting rod, so I went with chain. That one will look as good as mine with a nice fresh coat of paint. Looking forward to seeing it then. I here you about the red ones, went looking at cubs today at pattonacres with my heart set on buying a 70, 100, or an original. After looking around for a while Rich has a bunch of red one sitting there begging to be restored now I can't decide what I want to work on next. Good luck painting your blade and can't wait to see it. Junior

you should buy that 106 off of me lol :beerchug:

I am partial to the red ones myself and would like to get my mits on a 682, 782 or a 982.

Matt: the 782 is looking good. How did school go?

bignastygs: good deal man.:beerchug:

Papaglide:

Better than I expected, as I took too many classes. All is well, and it's great to be home and out in the garage again... :)

Awesome 782!

HAD to go out with the cub and 1 of my 35 year old chainsaws to clean up some wind fall today.First snow last night so i chained up first.Yard sale cable chains fit very well and worked good to.

That's a great pic, mudpup! You really put the 70 and #2 cart to work. :IH Trusted Hand:

mudpup,
That really is a great picture. With the Cub, the cart, and the saw. It looks like a picture right out of the past :ThumbsUp:

I spent the last few days cleaning up after last weeks big snow storm.
Here are a few shots from around the house of what I had to deal with.

lonnyb,
Nice snow pictures, We have only had a slight dusting here so far this year.

Wow Lonny, that's a lot of snow! Thanks for the pics. :ThumbsUp:

Matt G.: good to hear about school and that you're back in the garage!!:beerchug:

lonnyb: I can't wait until we get some snow. I am a wee bit envious!:beerchug:


mudpup: looking good man!:beerchug:

Thanks guys.Good to have a little tractor around.The farmalls i have are so big there not very handy around the yard.

I got my wife, in the cart again...LOL. We went for a ride in the country. I got the tires dirty, and I think the 100, looks better with them. What do y'all think? :IH Trusted Hand:

I think I like the looks of your 100.....and I also think that I like the looks of the grass it's on! I did get some Cub time yesterday when I cleared the driveway with the help of the 124. No action shots from yesterday...but here's a shot I took today. We've had enough winter already.

ACecil,
100 looks good with a little mud on the tires :ThumbsUp:



CBH,
Great picture, Looks the same here. :biggrin2.gif:

Thanks for the comments, guys! :beerchug:

CBH: That's a nice snow pic.

Today, I got my 124 stuck for the first time!!!
Decided to do some romping through the forest, through the snow.

Note to self: Before offroading cub, remove tiller front mule.

Went down the hill (45deg, 5' high) that ends at the small crick.....half way through the crick, tractor stopped. So, I figured give it a go, get the front wheels up on the bank.
Rears instantly spun, dug the back in deeper in seconds.

The rear diff is sitting on a rock, the rear wheels not touching......water is now up to the foot rests.

Darn mule drive was smack against a rock, under water...couldn't see it.

After 1/2 hour, with my son helping, I gave up.

I'll snap a photo of this hysterical debauchery tomorrow when I go to yank it out with the winch.

My 11 year old was laughing, and cracking wise comments.

I didn't even think about it.....dumb.

Thanks Bill! :ThumbsUp:

Mine was, I do it all the time in warmer weather.
But it' not really a creek, it's the flow from the three springs bubbling up in a section of my property.

I think it was a marsh that was filled in during the farming days (1650-1890's) here. Because the silt is only a few inches (6-12" in some places), and there's field stones under the silt...so going through it with a loaded trailer is never an issue without snow....the snow covered the larger rocks that I would have navigated around.

I need to go through it to access the areas I cut timber in.

Today I picked up a couple headlights and a switch for my Cub from TSC and got the holes cut in the headlight panel. The closest holesaw I could find was 3 7/8" so I'll have to enlarge the holes a little with a die grinder till the bulbs fit. I need to make the retainers yet to hold the bulbs in the panel. I was able to get the dimensions for the retainers from a guy at work. I'll post some pics when I get them done.

We finally got enough snow that I could fire up my 782 with the converted 451 snow blower. Cleared the few inches we got away from the driveway and it seemed to work quite well. It doesn't have the distance of my Ariens 22" walk behind, but it cleared the main driveway in 4 passes instead of the 8 needed for the walk behind. I'm waiting for some real accumulation before I judge it any more.

Now I'm wishing I had a longer driveway, though I'm sure I will no longer feel that way by March.

Unloaded my 2 new to me 100's
 

$ 450.00 Dollars later and $ 65.00 of gas . went to montagu MI this moring 430 miles round trip and got these 2 - 100's and parts
