Put the two newest tresures on wood duty today. Got a little muddy this afternoon but I'll take it over what we had two weeks ago!

Good looking Cubs!!:beerchug:

I hauled a load (hopefully that last one this winter) of wood to the house after I stripped the 1864 of it's winter clothes yesterday. :beer2:

Nice pics guys. Hauling wood with a Cub beats using a wheelbarrow.

Thanks,Sam!! :beerchug:

Most of the time I do use the wheelbarrow but that cart is 3 light wheelbarrow loads, so when a cub is running and the cart is hooked, I take advantage! :beer2:

In the first pic, you can see I don't have but about a 100' run from the shed to the hole in the house, so normally it's not that bad! It sucks the worst when it's muddy!

Got all the cubs out for a tinkerin' session. I double-checked the charging system on the puller. Turns out carbon on the relay in the regulator kept it from charging properly. a little file work and adjustment and it's up to snuff again.

Got the 70 charging again (had the S/G rebuilt) and tinkered with the relay ground. Other tractors are pretty solid right now, so it was just time to line 'em up for a quick family photo.

Got some spring maintenance done today. Took the cab off the 1864, got the 2284 raised up and the front tires off for the new shoes coming in this week. Adjusted a few things and once I get the new shoes on all around, the deck will go on and I'll be ready for some grass killing!

Also got the oil changed on the 2284, new fuel filter on the 2284 & 1864, test fitted my new bumper (after elongating one bolt hole, it fit like a charm), and a few other busy work tasks. Getting anxious for grass killing!

Got the three cubs out of hibernation. Charged up all three batteries and took them for a little run... The 2072 required a new fuel pump (PITA!! :bash2::BangPC:) and the carb cleaned and new float needle. Now just need to figure out the 982. Group pic!

Got the narrow front 125 out of hibernation and changed the oil, and got rid of the stack and made a short muffle extension. That stack was useless for getting under tree branches while thatching and sweeping the lawn.:beerchug:

Wbrech 03-17-2015 06:42 PM

Love the Narrow frame look. I'm gonna have to build one soon.

It was a nice warm day today so I got the 1782 out and plowed some weeds under that were starting.

Ah, the sent of freshly turned dirt:ThumbsUp: I tried scratching my screen hoping it was scratch and sniff, but no luck.:bash2: You ever notice how much better dirt smells than snow?
Looked like fun, can't wait till the frost is out, and the dirt is dry...... Thanks for the shot in the arm. There is hope....:beerchug:

Diz Jr. 03-18-2015 08:25 AM

Great pictures Guys,
So nice to see some photos of Cubs doing something other than moving snow :ThumbsUp:

Sam Mac 03-18-2015 09:02 AM

Changed from winter mode to garden mode on my 1862. Also had to install the cat0 hitch from extreme while doing that I was puzzled because everything I have seen say it bolts to 2 bolts on the axle housing but it only lined up with 1 on mine and I didn't have any other brackets. Is that the same for others or did I mess up. Either way here is some eye candy.

Sam Mac 03-21-2015 07:35 PM

That tiller looks familiar. :biggrin2:

Yesterday's activity included putting the machine to tow duty. I got the Haban deck installed and checked out after refurb. Then I decided to pull the splitter out and work on next year's firewood.

Sam Mac 03-29-2015 04:27 PM

Looks good Ray. :beerchug:

Used the 129 to spread some grass seed on a small hay field. Basically just a light topcoat of seed on the whole thing, hit the bare places about 3 times. Caught my yard while I was at it. I will say, EVERYTHING on that hydro needs fixing, you head downhill with it and its a real roller coaster ride. Don't know when it will get in the shop, but it has officially made it onto the round-tuit list

Took the blade off and mowed the fenced in yard. Think we're safe from snow now!

Me thinks you have a tad more hitch than tractor. Inquiring minds want to know, what are you towing?

That's no lie! Looks good and stout! I'd say it should hold up for whatever you wanna pull! Nice work!

Come on guys, whatever it is he's pulling weighs TWO TON! :biggrin2:

Actually I been pulling stumps out down in the bottom and got the dozer stuck so I was just riggin up the 1200 to pull John out.

Diz Jr. 03-30-2015 08:03 AM

Nice work on the hitch twoton :ThumbsUp:

Chetman 03-30-2015 08:54 PM

First mow of the season. Smelt something burning and realized one side of belt somehow came off over winter. Wasn't that way when parked in fall. Also my PTO didn't want to engage when very hot, it's working fine now?? I don't think the belt had anything to do with it. It was very noticeable when off.

That's great!! :beer2: I've been getting ready, I can't wait!! Got the sweeper out yesterday to get up the small sticks and some leaves.

I put a spiral pin in the drive shaft of the 67 102 and got to put it to work for the first time since I've owned it!:beerchug:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-z...331_151724.jpg

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-a...331_151738.jpg

Today I finally got the steering wheel off of the 66 102. Took the one off of the 67 102 also. The 67 was a piece of cake compared to the 66. I've been working on and off on the 66 for about 6 months. Put a new bushing in the 66 column and put the nice wheel from the 67 on the 66 with Craig's cap.:biggrin2:

It was a good Cub day!! :beerchug:

Got a little quality time in with the 2284 today aerating the lawn. Good to be outside again, 78° and sunny here today :beerchug:

Great pictures guys, it's nice to see us all getting outside and doing stuff, finally!

Shrewcub 04-01-2015 09:55 PM

First time playing in the dirt.
 
Dad bought an Agri-fab disc that showed up today. He bought it to rough up the yard for seeding. Not quite ready for that, but I put it together and wanted to see if it would break.

I also wanted to try out Jeff's hitch. Nobody did anything with the garden last year since the farm was on the market. There were a bunch of mounds and wood stove ashes out there so I decided it would be good testing ground. I really need to plow that, but I got it leveled out any way. The 2000 drive shaft held up fine so far, even after some wheelies once I took the blade off the front. :biggrin2:

Here's a couple pics. Sorry forgot to take some while actually in the dirt. :beerchug:

Only a hair over 60 here today, but the sunshine felt almost as good as the dirt smelled!! 70's tomorrow, gotta get the grass killer ready! :biggrin2:

Super looks good Ryan, kinda see why you don't want to part with it! :beerchug: Smoke is cool though!!:bigthink:

Diz Jr. 04-02-2015 08:41 PM

Great pictures Guy's'
Nice to see some Cubs getting back in the dirt :biggrin2: :ThumbsUp:
