Here's another link to a vid I made of the Original. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H51n4Mhf1EQ
I couldn't get it to start today as I wanted to clean up the driveway, supposed to get some snow on Wednesday:biggrin2.gif:. I had spark so I figured it was fuel related. Decided to swap out carb\oil bath for another one I had that was rebuilt and she fired right up. I took the video after cleaning the driveway up. So I was plowing the drive and the front right wheel locked up totally! Got back to the shop and popped spindle and wheel off and pumped the crap out of it with the grease gun and finally got it break free:bigthink:. I guess she just dried up and siezed, all good now:beerchug:. Also I put the Grote headlight on yesterday as the cheapo's I bought didn't last.

Here's what I've been up to lately.

I got my deck patched up and put some primer on it. I used Rustoleum primer that says it's good for light rust. I'll see how it works.

Picked up a quart of Hurculiner to coat the bottom of the deck with. Hopefully it'll hold up. I first painted it with Rustoleum Rust Reformer. It's supposed to stop rust. The deck was badly pitted from wet grass stuck to the deck for the last 47 years.

Bought a couple new gauge wheels for the deck. They're steel wheels with bearings.

Painted the grill I made for the 126.

Found an old Hurst T-handle I had from a previous truck so I threaded the shifter with a die and put it on the 126 for the heck of it. The knob on it was cracked anyway.

Started on a 3-point lift for the 126.

We have been busy deer hunting and getting ready for maple syrup season.
I do have 6 hives of bees that were active during the warm spell at new years.
The cubs are put away and resting. Can't wait to get into that 73 and get some engine work done. Hope to spend more time visiting with all the cub folks here as it get closer to spring. Love this site, and could spend just hours here soaking up the good cub stuff! Hope things in Cub land are good.
Regards,
Chris Casbohm

Got some pics of the 100, in what's left of the snow. Also had the #2 cart, and did some hauling.
