Adrian, very nice looking tractor and blade:beerchug:

I spent a couple hours last night trying to get a broken off piece of key out of the 124's ignition switch. Got close a couple times but had to give up on it as I was getting tired. Gave it another shot tonight and took me 1/2 hour to get it out:buttrock::clap:

Started getting the 42" mower deck straightened out - overall it's in good shape, just a few wows, warts and warps in the leading edges. They all came out pretty quickly with some cold hammering on the anvil. There's some moderate pitting on the under side but nothing serious and the only crack in it welded up nicely.

Nice work on the Deck :ThumbsUp:

About time you got that thing out!:beer2:

Looking good!

Dang Jude, I have an ignition from an "O" here that I have about 8 hours into trying to get a broken key out of. Maybe I should send it up north and let you take a crack at it, hehehe.

Adrian, That's is one great looking blade and tractor.

Hilltop, Deck looks great keep up the good work.

Hilltop, great job on your deck! :ThumbsUp:

Thanks guys!

I've got goodies coming in from Mark @ IHCC Parts and I'll have to dust off the 'ol paint gun to shoot the deck - I can't wait to get it completed and blades turning under it again!

Good to see you got that thing out,my 123s got a crack in the key,im glad my brother has a key cutter,made me one real quick:biggrin2:

The decks looking good,looks like you have a nice blacksmith shop too:ThumbsUp:

worked a little on the 122 today. before, it had Tru-Powers on it that came off a John Deere.....and Lazy me didn't wanna change rims out. so i painted the deere rims cub cadet white and slapped them on. only problem was, the rim wasn't an offset rim, so the tire would rub on the fenders. so the fenders came off. well, i got my hands on a tire changer from my mechanic and we changed the tires over to my cub cadet rims. they are narrower rims so it narrowed the tires in too which is cool. now the fenders are back on, grote light is back on and wheel weights installed. looks awesome. i got the tiller working as well. just put it all together and she works awesome! also topped off the hydraulic fluid in the Hydraulic lift and it works allot faster now. can't wait till spring!

got out the 102 today. she had a flat front tire. got that fixed. went to go start snow blowing the end of the driveway and the auger sprocket blew apart....so thats sitting in the shop waiting until i can get a replacement.

thats my cub day!

Nice work hilltop!! I love where you live, even though you got screwed on the snow this winter.

Eric, send it on up and I'll do my best to get it out for ya:biggrin2:. PM me if you want my address. It was tedious and took some patience. Saved myself $35, now just need to get a couple new keys as the other one that came with 124 is cracked.
