Hi guy's,

I might as well call this thread "what did my son do with my cub today".

Spent the whole day working outside mulching and planting, laying topsoil around the yard. The only seat time I got was when his mom lured him inside for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Oh the sacrifices we make as parents;)

ACecil 04-07-2009 05:47 PM

Great pics Grey531! Looks like your son was having a good time. Thanks for sharing.

JMD 04-07-2009 07:13 PM

Grey531 04-07-2009 09:14 PM

Thanks ACecil , Wild Bill.

We all had a great time. It was just one of those picture perfect day's.:cool:

Got a lot of work done and had fun doing it.

Diz Jr. 04-07-2009 09:25 PM

Grey531,

Great pictures:ThumbsUp:

Your cart and the 100 look really good together.

Eagle Keeper 04-07-2009 09:46 PM

Grey531 04-07-2009 10:28 PM

Ok, over that past days I've gotton a lot done. monday saw the 149 in the quonset. wouldn't start. new plug, away she went into the garage. pulled the plate off the hydro. I got a sludgey mess there. drained the oil from the engine. put in new 30. today, I pulled the k341 out of the 149. I got the k321 on the hoist and dropped in. got two bolts in and then had to go. all in all, a great day! anybody else do anything?!

lonnyb 04-09-2009 01:20 AM

Well today I took the 72 with loader and pulled out all 24 pine tree that my parents plantet 3 years ago that died over the winter.

Pulling them out this time of the year is a sure lot easyer than mid summer when the ground has had a chance to dry out.

Drop the bucket next to the tree, wrap a short chain arounf the trunk twice and hook to bucket. Lift bucket and out comes the tree, roots and all.

ACecil 04-09-2009 12:40 PM

Great work Tyler and Lonny! :ThumbsUp:

As for me, I hauled more limbs with the 100 and cart.

Diz Jr. 04-09-2009 07:15 PM

Did a little clean up at my parents old place today. Took the 149 and the trailer.

Pulled a 6X12 mesh-bed trailer with 2 scoops of mulch on FLAT ground. Even ran the mower deck some on way to and fro. Did just fine.

I put on my new sleeve hitch today. I hope to test it out with the plow at the farm tomorrow.

Diz Jr. 04-11-2009 09:42 PM

aagitch,

Good lookin sleeve hitch. Get some pictures of it in action. :ThumbsUp:

ACecil 04-11-2009 09:51 PM

Awesome sleeve hitch aagitch! :ThumbsUp:

michcruiser60 04-11-2009 10:54 PM

Today I finished rebuilding a different carb for my 1282. I got to hear it run for the first time since I bought the tractor. :biggrin2.gif: The old carb was rusted shut so I used a carb from an old 10hp Kohler I had, changed out he linkage and new float too. Runs real smooth, without skipping a beat. I was really expecting the engine to smoke but I got lucky and it didn't.
I changed two of the tie-rod ends a while back. Today I thought I'd get a better tire alignment and while doing that I broke the one that didn't get changed. Looks like Monday I have a new project after I see my local NAPA dealer.

Started sanding the grill shell. I think that will get painted along with the front and rear axles soon.

Diz Jr. 04-11-2009 11:08 PM

Glad to here you got it running michcruiser60,:IH Logo:

I did a little bit of plowing at my uncle's farm. It did pretty well for thick long grass which has'nt been turned before.

Wild Bill,

Sounds like you had some fun running the 1450 :ThumbsUp:


aagitch,

Great pictures. Look like it was rollin it over pretty good.:biggrin2.gif:

ACecil 04-12-2009 10:51 PM

Sounds like you guys had a great cub day! :IH Trusted Hand:

I was very pleased since it was my first time plowing. It rolled pretty good for having paint on the share. Alot of it is worn off now. I liked how it was pulling the engine some. I'm going to be getting some rimguard (beet juice) put in this week. That'll add about another 140lbs.

Diz Jr. 04-13-2009 07:48 AM

aagitch,

That ought to really make a difference. :IH Logo:

lonnyb 04-13-2009 07:27 PM

Spent the all day yesterday replaceing the busted steering box on my cub with loader.
After getting the steering box replaced I removed the loader from the tractor to prevent breaking the replacement steering box.

CBH 04-14-2009 04:22 PM

I took the deck off the 126 today, sand blasted some light surface rust, and shot some paint on it. It should be good to go now!

Towed a Murray out from a trailer with my GT2554. Pics to come as I clean it up for sale.

ACecil 04-15-2009 01:44 PM

Worked in our tomato patch and used the 100, to haul the gardening tools. My little helper, had to get in the pic.

Cubmonkey 04-15-2009 07:18 PM

Put some tire chains on the 128 used it to pull out a stuck John Deere 212. lol .on the front of the deere it said"fear the deere". well i guess you cant fear it when its stuck haha.
:BB&YS: wish i would have had the camera.

Diz Jr. 04-15-2009 08:42 PM

ACecil.
The 100 is looking good sitting on some green grass. Our yard is getting greened up pretty good also.



Cubmonkey,

You can fear the deere. But the deere better fear the Cub. :biggrin2.gif::IH Logo: Glad to here you got it pulled out. :ThumbsUp:

ih782dmike 04-16-2009 12:13 AM

Last weekend we plowed at Monterey IN plow days, now we are gearing up for the Greensburg IN plow days. Inbetween, the 782d handles putting the cub hauling trailer away and general yard chores, our yard is to small to cut with it, even with a baby 44" mower deck. Mike

I had to get the cub out of the shop so I could work on the zero turn and I shot a quick pic. The 682 is quickly becoming my favorite!

Diz Jr. 04-16-2009 10:46 AM

ih782dmike,

Don't look like the plow was giving your 782d any problems:biggrin2.gif:
Good lookin tractor :ThumbsUp:


Randy Littrell,

quite the nice lineup you have there. :ThumbsUp:

michcruiser60 04-16-2009 11:17 PM

I rolled the front yard today with the 1282. It's now in the garage with the grill off. I had a tab for one of the head lights come off. I have no way of welding aluminum so I'm trying a little JB Weld on it. Looks like it might work.

Bought a new head light at NAPA also.

I understand, I'll have nothing but '82's.

aagitch 04-17-2009 04:19 AM

Went to the Kubota dealer today and had them put some rimguard (beetjuice) in the rears on the 782. It was only 50 bucks after tax for a total of 145lbs of more weight. If I would of known it was going to be that cheap I wouldn't have gotten my set of 25lb cast weights that are on it.

Cruiser, I used JB weld for my grill piece a few years ago and it's still holding up.
