Thanks ACecil and Roblynn.

Hey ACecil, I forgot to mention i installed the new drive shaft. I know we were talking about it last time we were on the phone :biggrin2.gif:

That's great, Diz! Does the 169 vibrate less, after installing the new driveshaft? :IH Trusted Hand:

ACecil,
It seems really nice now. It wasnt really vibrating to much before but it looked bad when it was spining. Mowed with it tonite. Doing the work to the trunion and new fluid and filter really made a big difference. Really smooth now. :biggrin2.gif:

Been working on the sleeve hitch for the 169 this week.
Got it finished and installed.

Diz Jr.,
Well that baby won't twist! Great looking Cubs ya got there.

Your sleeve hitch looks great, Diz! You did an awesome job! Thanks for the pics. :IH Trusted Hand:

Thanks ACecil

Twisting isn't the problems I see on the sleeve hitch adapter. The lack of support on the outside can and will cause the holes to elongate some. The only way I found to cure the problem is to go to support on both sides of your sleeve hitch adapter.

International Harvester design and build a tiller, box blade and a rear blade/rake. All 3 attachments have support on both sides.

Some use a rod that goes between both arms of their sleeve hitch adapter. That helps....rod could bend.

Those are GREAT looking cubs there, Diz! :beerchug:

Looks like you keep them shining bright. :IH Trusted Hand:
