Digging, (plowing up) Patatoes
 

Putting the new hitch and plow to work. (hitch, Customized Cubs). Plow, rake out, pick up, wash, spread out on the grass, to dry. Much easier than last year, with a shovel. One row done. Two more to go.

Finally got a start on the wood for the winter
 

Finally got a start on the wood for the winter. I like to do this in the spring but seem to get started later every year

While replacing a leaking head gasket on my 129, I managed to drop a nut into the flywheel shroud. Of course the only way to get it out is to pull the engine. While the engine is out, I decided to replace the leaking front crank seal.

I finally cleaned up and organized my outdoor parts area, when I got done with that I worked on a belt problem I've been having with my sons Cadet 111.

You Guy's have been busy.
Great pictures :ThumbsUp:

Made some end plates for the snow plow. they slide on and off easily with the removal of some "R" clips. There are times I wanted the plow to act like a 'Pusher'. Not painted yet so it looks very bad. After a trial run this winter I will make whatever Mods I find it needs, then make it pretty.

Haven't posted here in a while...
 

Yesterday I got all the runners out for some fun. Mowed some grass with the 1864, graded the driveway with the 782, and hauled some stuff with the 2372 and 102.

didnt i sell you lights for that 102? where are they?:Unknown:

The 102 has a K301 in it and is going to get a better one with a new clutch and 122 hood and grill. Hydro lift will go on then too. I had the grill out for pto repair and just didn't want to waste the time putting it back in to come right back out. I am going to put all the best NF parts I have in this one. So in the end I will have a 122 with a 102 seat. :beerchug:

Got a few other projects going on too! I will get to it, I promise!

Gave the June 61 Original a bath today with some help from the Bota:beerchug:

Cut the grass with the 1641 today.
grass is green and thick from all the rain.

Alittle yard farmin
 

I haven't posted for a while , so thought I would post a few pictures of this weeks grass seeding job. I did a little tilling, then some harrowing , then seeding , then some coulter packing . Now just hope the grass seeding grows :beerchug:

There's 71 years of age between them, but both do a fine job of mowing! As for me, I just turn the wrenches when needed:biggrin2:

The Tru-Powers are now on the 1782
 

I have not been working on the Cubs much lately as I had rotator cuff surgery in May, but I finally got the new 26X12X12 Tru-Powers mounted and loaded with windshield washer antifreeze. The engine had been acting like it was low on power and missing. Took the side cover off and put a wrench on the fitting to bleed the injectors and found the lower fitting which goes into the pump was loose. Insant fix! I was very relieved. I had forgotten how powerful the engine felt when running on all 3 cylinders.I went through the 54 inch mower deck last summer and replaced all the bearings. I had a couple of instances where the deck belt came off. I pulled the deck again last week and found the arm that the idler pulley is attached to had a slight bend in it so I straightened that and it seems to work fine now. It is a nice feeling to get some things done again.

Awesome pics everyone, plenty of good submissions for POTW here if y'all know what I mean ;)

Sooooo when are you going to come do my yard!?! :biggrin2: :beerchug:

Jimbob I'm not sure I will be able to fit you in this fall , the fall seeding window is shutting fast and I am swamped . I am on the way to an over 100 job season , I haven't started fall plowing yet. I usually plow 25 to 30 gardens in the fall. I can pencil you in on the early spring seeding list if you want .:beerchug:

It mows!
 

Rehabing the 2284. Many hours and dollars on the deck. Slipped it under the tractor tonight, wrestled the belt on, and then trimmed some weeds out of the lawn. Worked well. Next the throttle linkage needs serious attention.

Looks good from here!:beerchug:

Put on the rear mounted (Rear facing), blade and spread some old manure on the garden. Then pushed back some gravel, that had washed down the drive.

Then, put it out front, for sale. (Moving, and have too many)

Mowed some grass with the 1641. Tough job but someone needs to do it. Finally got around to painting the rear wheels Cub White, they were originally JD wheels. Tires needed tubes so it was a good time to get it done. Gotta paint the deck one of these years. :beerchug:

Well it's about time you get those wheels painted:bigeyes:
Looks good from Gillett:beerchug:

Finally got my basket case 782 put back together that I recently acquired. After tune up, various other things, and carb rebuild she purrs like a kitten.

Pushed some gravel around with the 782 Yesterday.:beerchug:

Looking good there Todd, what's your helpers name? Looks like he/she would like to go for a ride :biggrin2:

That one's name is Ruger, and the chocolate turd Colt was off doing whatever he does...:bigthink::bigthink:

I changed the pins on the York rake and put it on the 2372 today. Finally got to put a real load on it!:biggrin2::beerchug:

Also made a platform to go on the forks and hauled a bunch of X-mas tree stumps I pulled the other day.:banned:

How bout you get the weights painted red, Todd!:biggrin2: :beer2:

What a slacker huh?
I guess I need to put that on the list now too:biggrin2:

York rake looks right at home on the super Travis.:beerchug:

I guess this is more of a What did you DO to your Cub today :biggrin2:
Replacing the gasket between the Hydro and rear end.

The 1872 got some new shoes put on today.

Good job, Diz!

The 1872 is looking tough, Adrian!

Thanks ACecil
Hope to have it back together tomorrow :biggrin2:

Good job Diz, will be no more leaky, leaky:beerchug:

zippy1
That's what i am hoping :biggrin2:
Been just enough to make a mess for a while.
Finally decided to do something about it.

Thanks, I'm getting ready to order the seal kit for the power steering and then she'll be out of commission for a bit.

Got some of the kids winterized and tucked away for their winter hibernation.

Looks good my friend. Sucks that we have to put them away for winter. I need to get my "Kids ready for winter" also. Maybe 1 or 2 more times with mower and then the party is over. Then it's set up the BX for snow duty. I hate snow. :beatdeadhorse:

Diz,

Looks like you got that leak taken care of.

You have a nice collection there Zippy.:beerchug:

I agree Sam on the snow thing. At least while moving it I'm dry and warm...in the truck:beerchug:

Thanks Lew, but as we know it's about to get a whole lot better. The 147 is going to finally have a full time job:beerchug: Well seasonal anyway:biggrin2:

Nothing "rides" like a Deere!
 

The only John Deere we have and still had to haul it to sick bay with Cub Cadet equipment!.
