I had the 782D out for the first time this season. I noticed it was going thru a lot of fuel, then noticed it seemed to be spraying most of it out the left side of the tractor. I had meant to fix this last fall (but you know how that goes)

Took the side panel off, then replaced the fuel filter and more importantly the leaky O-ring and we're good to go again.

I love that tractor... what a hoss that little diesel is ....!

John

Glad you're enjoying the 782D, John!

Finally was able to get the new to me tiller attached to the new to me (earlier this year) 982! Took it out for a test run and wow, that thing chews up sod like nothing!! SWEET!! :beerchug:

Nice! :beerchug:

Sweet setup Darrell!:beerchug:

Darrell,
Those things are HEAVY! Did ya lift the front up any? The guy I bought mine from used it on a 982. He told me with the tiller up, he could walk around to the front and lift the tractor with one finger. :biggrin2: Still have to get mine installed and give it a try. Mine does look different than yours, though. Thanks for sharing the pic!

Thanks guys! :beerchug:

Huh... :bigeyes: I'll have to try that! Mine doesn't raise the tiller a whole lot off the ground... I might have to do a little adjusting... :beerchug:

Good looking 982 and tiller, Darrell!

Dug into the 149
 

Got the 149 in the shop last night and dug into it today.
First was to fix one of the PO mods on the positive cable.
Took off the tiller gear box, and of course sprung a leak. Who knows when the last time the fluid and filter was changed anyway, so........
It was some fairly gunky stuff:bigthink:

Todd has a new project! :beerchug:

Not new Sam. When I picked it up during the winter I didn't do anything with it, just parked it. Didn't even know what year it was until today.
Don't know what it's job is going to be yet.. But I am keeping it:beerchug:

You'll have the 149 is great shape, in no time, Todd!

Went over to a buddy's house and played around with the 2072.

I recently did some work on it including sending the relief valves off to be rebuilt at Machtech, putting new tubes in the rear tires and then loading them with windshield washer fluid and then relining the brakes with the lining mentioned on here from McMaster Carr.

Also i adjusted the lift rod on the 54" Haban blade and tightened up the bottom pin and lift bolt adjuster. It used to only lift up about 3 or 4 inches, now it's more like 12" or so.

Thanks so much for the advice and ideas from you all. It totally drives different between all the little tweaks. The relief valves make it way more snappy, the brakes make it stop, and the traction is worlds better with the tires loaded with fluid ballast. Being able to lift the blade more than a few inches makes it not hang up on every little stick or low spot. What a world of difference.

So about my buddies house and the seat time - He lives on the a small lake in Central New York that was frozen over this winter maybe 8 to 10". With the warmer weather (finally) the lake has thawed out and the ice broke up but not without leaving what looks like dump truck loads of ice on the shore line. So i pushed some of the driftwood and ice around, mostly playing around and seeing if the blade was better than before. Drove right up on a 3 to 4' high pile of ice and pushed the top off and had him snap a pic with a bit of a grin on my face! Oh yeah - without a doubt.

Now for the Pics:

Way cool! :beerchug:

Cool pic of the 2072 up on the ice!:beer2:

Nice 2072! Neat pic of it on the ice.

7254/ spring chores are down
 

Went up to John's goat farm, to paint some stuff with him ! Checked out my tractors . John's got a new Linebach Plow , used neighbors , tiller (a monster ) plowing done , mowing done by my Farmall IH grape/berries starting fine:beerchug:

Nice machines, Earl!

Got four tractors out of the shed and into the shop today. The 122 started right up even after sitting for two years:beerchug:
The 123, 125 with tiller and the ole "O" are out for the summer:biggrin2:

Washed my new to me 129 that I traded my allis 314 for yesterday, it was sittin in a yard for awhile so had a layer of grime on it. And got my new decal for my 105 headlight spot Attachment 49779

Nice cubs, guys! :beerchug:

Tractors are looking good guys:beerchug:

I had the 2182 out to cut some grass for the first time since I rebuilt the deck on it last fall. Awesome machine. Then the 1782 got a little exercise dragging some brush. :beerchug:

Pics of those two beasts Sam!:beerchug:

Well, my mower has a new battery in it and has officially been woke up from her winter slumber. Ms. 2130 rides again! She will get her first workout today. Let mowing season begin.

Great job, Babe! We make a great team! :beerchug:

Got the 782 and super out for some run time! Jenn and I had fun!

The Cubs look good Allen. Too bad the dually isn't around to pose for family photos.

Thanks Adam! True, but I'm enjoying the 782 and super.

Not as good a Cub weekend as it should have been!!!
 

Allen and Jenn, the Cubs look great! Glad you had a good weekend!

After discovering that the chinese diesel will not fit in the 2072 or 782 without serious modification to the frame or engine, it appeared to get worse. I put the mower deck on the 1864. Last weekend I cleaned the underside of the deck and spayed it with EZ Glide that I found at TSC. As soon as I engaged the PTO the AMP light came on :bash2: I went ahead and mowed what I had to (as the PO had put in a good battery), did my usual blow off, andchecked charging voltage. 12.4 V:bash2: :bash2: I pulled the left side panel to check the fuse and found that the voltage regulator plug was half disconnected and arching! reconnected and it is charging now. Amp light still comes on with PTO and headlights at the same time. More diag needed, but its better for now! :beerchug:

I built a wounded Cub transporter from recycled material I had laying around and put the 2072 and 782 in the woodshed with the others :biggrin2: one big happy Cub family!!

I also painted a set of weights I am going to put on the 1864 :beer2:

Sorry I forgot to take the pic of all 4 happily together in the woodshed :BangPC:

Nice pics Jenn and Allen!:beerchug:

Appreciate it, Travis and Mike!

Nice pics Allen. I see the boss is driving HER super..............:biggrin2: :beerchug:

Thanks Josh! I just let Jenn think it's her cub. :biggrin2:

Allen and Jenn, you two have just to much fun:beerchug:
To bad we weren't "a lot" closer, you two and me and Mrs. Z could have a good time:beer2:
