Don't build like they use to!! That's what I love about these old cubs Matt, they're totally rebuildable.

I finally got the steering wheel off of the 124 tonight:beerchug:. After 2 weeks of soaking it in PB and I made 2 different wood blocks like Matt G.'s, but the woods I used just weren't hard enough and I snapped them. Don't think any wood would have worked on this one, in the pic you'll see a split bearing tool I picked up at Napa for $40. Kinda pricey but it worked great, only thing I don't like about it is only 2 threaded holes for bolts, be nice to have 3 pressure points. But man did it go "bang" when it let loose tonight, scared the crap out of me:biggrin2.gif:. Also worked on the new 147, took off tank and rinsed it out, changed out sediment bowl and will rebuild carb later tonight. Hope to get it running in the next couple days.

I had he same problem on my 1282. I soaked it for a week, nothing. Had my son and 4 of his friends pull while I beat on it....still nothing! I bought a puller from my Snap-On dealer (90 Bucks) :bash2: and it came right off. But like yours, it sounded like a gunshot when it popped!! I coated the shaft with Never-Seize before I put the steering wheel back on.

Got some seat time today! Did some hauling for Jenn. Enjoyed it, as always!

Looking good ACecil
Must be warmer at your house than it is here :biggrin2.gif:

Got a little further with the 364/1872 today. My mounting brackets are still not rigid enough; hopefully I'll be able to fix that tomorrow. I was at least able to move it outside and try it out. The starts slips at first but eventually grabs and starts the tractor. Maybe it'll be ok. I can't believe how quiet the snowblower is...it's nearly silent and can't be heard over the tractor. Much quieter than my QA-36A. I had both the 782 and 1872 outside warming up at once, as the 782 was in the way of getting the 1872 out. 2 M18s running at the same time sounds cool:biggrin2.gif: I took some video that I'll eventually put on my website. I think the muffler in my 782 is bad, as I couldn't hear the 1872 running when both were side by side. The lift links are too short, so I need to make longer ones so the snowblower actually touches the ground. That and putting the Tru-Powers on the rear and it'll finally be ready for snow, 6 weeks too late.

Matt. Really curious to see how the blower turns out and how far it throws snow. I have a 2 stage off a 782 which is close to the same thing I think? I'm gunna end up putting that on my 1650 for next winter

Might get some more seat time, in the snow tomorrow! :beerchug:

Well i got the 1812 out to plow a path in the snow so i could get that green thing down but it didn't start:biggrin2.gif: That cub is like a tank in the snow we have 6ins and it right thew it.Attachment 7368

Great looking 1812! :beerchug:

Thanks you It is all original.
