mharrison , sweet 100, nice job on the deck


a 102 and kubota engine merger does need pics,,,, lots . you know better then to come to class without your homework (pics) done... heehee


Duke , happy cleaning.... Id cover the parts that dont need wet, spray oven cleaner on it and pressure wash it. fresh paint and polish the valve covers, make it pop under the hood.

Hi there Duke! Good to see you hard at it! 4SPEED got it right on the oven cleaner. Best stuff / eats the crud off. I wish I were down there, I'd clean it for ya! One of my favorite things to do is to blow that crud off and see whats under it and make things look new again. I never was afraid to get filthy dirty, (neither is Mike Rowe of Dirty Job's) He's made a lot more money at it and "filthy rich". Anyways, wish I could help ya! :biggrin2:

That's good to know Bill! I have a few here that could stand a good cleaning!
You're welcome anytime!:beerchug:

A FEW :HeadScratch:

I use Totally Awesome from the dollar store, a buck bottle and it works better than any degreaser on the market plus it wont eat things on the tractor that you don't want damaged!!

Eric thanks for the heads up! I am shocked taht you let one of your cleaning products name slip out. Feel free to PM on what you use to make yours shine so much!:beerchug:

Thanks for the tip Doug! Glad ya got some wrenching time in as well.

Thanks Bill! Isn't time for you to head south? I could use your help.:beerchug:

A few is the understatement of year!:biggrin2:

the 125 went to its new home.... :Boohoo:

Congrats on the sale, Doug! Did you get the replacement yet? :biggrin2:

not yet. I wanted to pick it up next weekend but with Easter I dont think that will happen.
Im working local this week so I may try for a day this week.

also the guy that got the 125 sold me the correct IH emblem for my Original. :drool2:
also had some lights for it too. but I want the super more then a set of lights for the O

Just a super..................or a super smoker.............:bigthink: :biggrin2:

super smoker !!! is there any other?? heehee.... needs a bit of work and new paint.

pic of the load I took in today.

the wheels will go on the front of the smoker. I'll pick up the spidels for them soon.
the IH is for the original
the side covers are for the smoker. just need to cut the one for the muffler and add the sloted vent hole in them

Look'n Good there 4speed!

how are you going to make the vents?

its only the one slot. drill 2 holes and wheel out the rest. take a file to it to clean it up. is what im thinking.

Doug

You could get real trick and put some carbon fiber louvers on it :biggrin2:

I have to wonder, will it be RED:bigthink:

Nice finds, Doug!

yes , it'll be red. I need to come up with a good name for it.
the 1 of 1 982 D is used and should stay 1of1 .





Sam Mac, Im thinking I'll glass a set of trans am fender air extractors into the covers.

That would be cool, Doug!

Doug

I like the looks of those! :beerchug:

Today me and friend had a plowday in my field today. The 122 was a power house but the creeper kept poping out of hi range. But my friend was using has JD 110 to plow. It did a ok job but kept losing power so we pulled the and found so bad things in there. So for the green in the pics lol:biggrin2:
We had a good plowing up sod.

Looks good Sam!
Looks like the deere didn't have a good day!
Both the plows look good! They look familiar!:beerchug:

Very cool!!! Can't wait to see the build thread on this one:beerchug:

I can't wait to get her outside and mowing this spring :biggrin2: She' being alittle temperamental right now, I think i'm going to have to pull the carb for a rebuild :bash2:. But i'll get her outside for some beauty shots soon :biggrin2:

The 70 looks great mharrison :ThumbsUp:

Thanks Diz

Looks like a fun cold day Sam! Poor JD engine tho. Hate to see that happen to anyone.

Looking forward to them!

Great plow pics, Sam! Thanks for sharing.

I don't have a way to upload or even take pics but I'll see if he will make an account to post some. Got the engine mounts made, axle moved forward to clear oil pan, clutch 3pin driver mounted. Just need one injector as it has a bad one then we can test drive it.

It did not have a good day but kevin is getting it bored out and i'm rebuilding it.

I wonder why they look familiar:biggrin2:

OK
Where's the pic of you dragging him out?:biggrin2:

We'd love to see pics of that. :biggrin2:

I ordered the new boots for the 1864 today! They will be in tomorrow. Just got to take the tires off and drop them off to be mounted and reinstall. I've got to order the fronts still. My local dealer wasn't able to get the V61's for me.:bash2: Miller Tire here I come.:biggrin2:

We'll have to see some pics! :beerchug:

Most definitely!:beerchug:

Maybe tomorrow maybe this weekend.:biggrin2:

Got to keep you on your toes!:beer2:

I've been working on the diesel today. Got the both the engine oil and tranny oil drained and filters changed along with pulling the valve cover to adjust the loose rocker arms. Man whoever designed the aluminum tranny for these cubs should be shot. It is terrible trying to put new oil in these things. I am stuck trying to fill it through the dip stick tube which at this rate is going to take me hours. Does anybody know of a better way to put oil in these things, there's got to be a better way.

You might want to use a funnel and a small drinking straw that sticks above the bottom of the funnel to let air excape. I believe that I used that on my 2084 and it went a bit quicker.
