Did a little yard work today with the 2182. :biggrin2:

Yesterday I got some quality time on the 1211 and just as I got done my wife came home, of course I had to take my boy's for a ride.

Great pictures of you and the Boys olds45512 :ThumbsUp:

Cool pics, guys!

Looks like you're having to much fun Tim. Cool pictures.:beerchug:

Had the 1650 out Sunday for the mowing festivities.:beerchug:

Then started up the 100 for some well needed TLC. Engine has a oil leak, and the seal at the creepy has a leak... So figured it was time for a fix all.:biggrin2:
I redid this tractor back in 2012, (100 face lift) and painted it with rattle cans. The Cub Cadet paint, and I can say it held up fair. I can also say, I would never paint a tractor with rattle can again.:bash2:
You put the same amount of work into preparing one painted with rattle can as one painted with "good paint" using reducer and hardener. Well for me, lesson learned.:beerchug:
Boy, I think I've learned a lot since then.:bigthink:

the 1650 looks good Todd, i see your starting to grow your winter wool.:biggrin2:

Tim...It is nice to see a dad spending quality time his sons. They grow up fast!

Todd...Your 1650 and 100 look great!:beerchug:

Good looking cubs, Todd!

Today I mowed our lawn with my 1450 equipped with IH 38" deck! Was a nice, hot and sunny day here! Next, I cut 7" off each end of a well used and abused IH 42" snow plow. I'm getting prep work done to all the pieces needed to weld up and have a IH 56" snow plow! :biggrin2:

Also, on my 125 I got the head torqued down, engine tin, fuel tank support, and muffler brace all together. The 125 has great compression now! Going to do more work on the snow plow project tomorrow.

:IH Trusted Hand:

Yeah gotta love those F-stones up front.:biggrin2: Need to use the 1650 with it's "power steering" till I get the 2372 (1872) out of sickbay.
Yup, winter's coming whether I want it to or not.:angry:
Thanks Beth and Allen:beerchug:

My wife and I raise chickens as pets, and we get a great amount of fun from doing so! This is typically how I go about cleaning out the coop, here with my 1450 and heavy duty yard trailer :biggrin2:

Glad the 1450 is up to the task! :beerchug:

Thanks Allen! The 1450 is a pretty good runner, and operates as should! :biggrin2:

Looking good John!:beerchug:

1450 looks right at home in front of the chicken coop.:beerchug:
Installed the new Extreme PTO clutch on the 1872. Smoke test over the weekend.:beerchug:

Great looking 1450!

1450 is doing a flocking good job.


Nice pto Mr. Zippy,looks like there is a slight misalignment though...heheheh

Thanks! Gonna have to get some of our chickens pictured next time!

That was funny Lew! Thanks! :biggrin2:

Zippy1, that looks serious! Hope it works out for ya!

Looks good you'll like. Did u end up ordering the same one that a M18 powered 1872 would take?

Leaving for plowday in the morning.

I think it's time for a bigger trailer.:biggrin2: that's a sharp looking cub, plow some for me.:beerchug:

The 1872 looks ready, Adrian. Have a good time!

Looks good, Todd! Can't wait to see how it works for you.

THANKS buddy, me too...:beerchug:

No, they had to build it to match the SEW Vanguard crankshaft. :beerchug:

Finished fuel tank, sediment bowl and carb cleaning, installed new battery. Tried firing off for the first time. No Crank, back tracked to a bunch of cobbled wiring and a bad ignition switch. I have to decide if I am rewiring or buying one of the new harnesses. My key switch is sticky too and not seeing them available like the original or I think it is the original, has a JD key ???

Cut the lawn with the 2372 (1872) with the new Extreme PTO clutch for the first time yesterday. Things a beast compared to the old (original) worn out PTO. Plowing through grass like it was 3" instead of 6".
Very happy with it's performance. Thanks for the recommendation Sam Mac:beerchug:
"Hopped":biggrin2: back on today to cut over at the company, and that "lawn" was all of 6" with a bunch of dead grass in amongst the green stuff and it didn't miss a beat. That thing is one strong PTO clutch for certain. Happy, happy, happy.
If any of you all are in the need of a replacement clutch, I would highly recommend one from Extreme. :beerchug:https://xtremeope.com/

You've got that right. I told the wife I'm getting a bigger tandem axle by next spring.

Adrian, where are the pics of the plow day?

And she said "like hell you are" :biggrin2:

Glad it worked out for you. Now we need some pics. :beerchug:

Glad it worked well for you, Todd!

Cleaned the 50A deck and got it ready for winter storage. Changed oil in the 1650 and installed the push blade. :beerchug: It will be needed some day, hopefully not anytime soon.

How do you keep your deck so clean?

Scrape it out...:bigthink:
At the end of the year, wire brush all the grass out and brush on some used hytran before storage.:beerchug:

You getting ready for snow, Todd? :biggrin2:

Don't want to Allen, but it seems like every year for the past 53, a change in the weather bout this time a year brings on a good chance for some white, wet cold stuff in the not to distant future. I hope I'm wrong, but want to be ready.:beerchug:

Fixed light wire harness problem w/the 882 and removed water pum for replacement.
Gotta get ready to PLOW on nite this month.
Betcha can't guess where!!

I don't blame ya one bit, Todd! :beerchug:
