x2 your new sweeper looks great behind your 982!

I find it easier and faster to pull the engine... Your mileage may differ.:beerchug:

I debated about that thank you for the tip.

Winter temperatures showed up this weekend so I spent a bit of time reading the Cub sites. Searching for Steering in particular. After getting a handful of knowledge I went out side (just for a minute to look at something). Next thing I know I had the Drag link and Tie Rod down. They were put on wrong by P.O.
Then I checked and tightened the Axle Bolt/Nut... very loose. Put the rods back up correctly, they were put on in such a way that they were binding on each other. Looked at the tires; they were not even close to pointing straight at the same time. I centered the steering wheel and made the proper tie rod adjustments. For a guy that was staying in the warmth today, I got the Steering much tighter. The alignment makes the tractor steer much easier and the turning radius is much improved. No need to look at Super Steering it. I'm happy with what I got now. A good day All while still wearing my slippers. I WAS just running out for a minute : )

Tony, did you say "sites"? You mean there's more than one?

Glad to hear you got your steering worked out.:beerchug:

oh no, did I say that out loud?
ihcubcadet.com is one I surf to help and be helped. I hope I'm not banished from this site. :)

yep thats it you're done.:biggrin2:

Thank you! :beerchug:

Got the 982 out for some run time yesterday evening.

That is a gooooood looking Tractor ACecil :ThumbsUp:

That should be in the show and mow post, very nice!

The 982 is looking good Allen.:beerchug:

Thanks guys! :ThumbsUp:

Very busy with the Holidays. Grandchildren "need it", all the stuff.

Did order a very nice seat cover for the poor working Cub's Christmas!

Happy Holidays to all at Only Cub Cadets!

Jenn and I went for a Christmas ride on the cubs. She got a quick pic.

Sounds like a fun thing to do with the wife on Christmas Allen:beerchug:
Shorts on Christmas? How warm was it? We were a balmy 28* today:bigeyes:

I venture to say Allen had his AC on yesterday. I know I finally cut mine back on and I'm a couple hrs northwest of him.

Todd, it was 80 degrees on Christmas. The warmest Christmas, we've ever had! Broke an old record. Like John, we've had the AC on. :beerchug:

Blew a little snow with the 1811.
 

Needless to say I didn't have shorts on like ACecil! Nice show piece you have there by the way.

High temp 5 deg F today. The old 1811 worked great. Only about 3-4 inches of fluff. Sorry I didn't get any pics. We put two sets of wheel weights on and that thing will go anywhere I want it to go.

No pics but me and my son took the Supers out and mowed grass today. It s been so wet and warm the grass is really greening up. Dad had a couple places he had re-seeded that really needed cutting. I let the boy run the 2072 (he likes the power steering on that one). I had areas I wanted to mow that are a little challenging so I took the 982, partly because it doesn't have front gauge wheels and also the cast rear gives more traction--we had 6-8" of rain in the past few days. More rain called for every day this week!:bigeyes:

Thanks PeterJ!

Allen,John,
no shorts up here,only undershorts...

Wife and I took a few loads of wood to be stacked,the new "O" worked fine for the job.

:biggrin2: Those original little Cubs are so COOL! :biggrin2:

PeterJ

Glad to see the "O" running and doing it's thang:beerchug:

Got the Christmas decorations put away this evening.

The O is looking good, Todd!

Great picture ACecil :ThumbsUp:

Thanks Diz! :beerchug:

did a little logging.... okay okay i know but it still say cub on the hood

The title of the thread is "What did you do with your Cub Today" (nothing about Cadets), therefore I say you are fine with that post!:biggrin2: What in the world do you pull to need weights on the front, especially with turf tires?

with the rear blade on it front end is light also pull logs with the three point so that lightens up the front also

Great logging picture gt383mag :ThumbsUp:

Last week stripped out the gears in my BB36 gearbox, Today, I went to look at a qa42, but instead came home with a used BB-36 gearbox, auger and frame, and 8.5 tire chains. The gearbox is a 20 tooth pinion and 30 tooth drive so 1.5:1 ratio. Someone installed a quick attach frame on my bb-36 to attach on my 127, so it's better than bolting. I figured out the ratio and the auger turns about 1152 RPM. It will throw snow about 20-25 feet.

The sun came out so it looked like a good time to do a little extra clean up after the 5" snow we had on Monday . The cab is working out great. :beerchug:

Changed the oil pan on the 1200 put the cradle on it. Still have to fix the pivot holes in the clutch hanger bracket. Was dark and getting cold and my sinuses are killing me so called it a night. Watching the original mad max.

Spent a good part of the afternoon trying to shake out the persistent issues with the 147. Found the problem with charging system - the ground wire on the regulator had a "cold" solder joint. I checked those visually but never measured with the DVM; essentially open circuit. Don't have an iron hot enough to melt solder on the bracket and didn't want to melt the rubber mount using a torch so I made a jumper that's soldered to the regulator base in a pool of solder already there and then a loop connector on the other end so it can be clamped to the chassis frame under the mounting bolt. Put it back on there and started it up, after a slight adjustment it came up to approx 13.75V and held there and didn't vary much with lights off or on. Looks like the ammeter is bad, though, and the glass has a crack. Also the S/G needs bearings. More parts on order this week.

Also tore down the electric lift and put in some bearings and a new seal. Fortunately the gear box and screw tube were full of a brown grease and were protected from the moisture. (The crud and corrosion in the brake compartment was cleaned out earlier and left soaking in PB.) I ordered a snap ring with the parts and am glad I did; the old one gave up instantly. It's laying there on the 'B' in the pic. Need to get a new set of cap screws to finish.

Also ran the sc2400 (technically not a CC but I did buy it at the local CC dealership) to clean up the ice on the drive; tried out the Internet wisdom of using a 1 1/2-inch diameter length of ABS pipe slotted and pressed on to the blade edge. It helps, but isn't as good as I had hoped. Might try a 2-inch pipe.

782
 

Put some wheel weights on the 782 today. Tried some rubbing compound on the hood and engine panels

ccguy, Nice looking machine, keep her working !

Terry, After 30 some years, I'm sure that little machine really thanks you for the effort. Good for you for taking good care of your baby !
:High5::ThumbsUp::Wave::Woo:

You guys have been busy! Thanks for the pics.
