Haha.

It wasn't that much fun because the cyclops lights aren't very bright and I wired the sprayer in through the tail light (harness was tight going all the way to the battery in the front of the tractor). Which wasn't bad until the switch slid away in the dark so I was turning the lights on/off to control the sprayer :D

Pulled a sleeve hitch off a 1650 parts tractor for my 1811.

Believe I still need to make or buy the straight lift rod and rod mount.

Mowed (for real) with the 2182 super for the first time. Ran good for an hour. Does seem a little light on power considering it only has the 48 GT deck, but the grass was pretty thick and slightly wet.

Cleaned up the 984 and changed the engine oil/filter. Cleaned carb & replaced fuel filter. Runs good!

Last night I acquired some 23x10.50-12 Goodyear Terra-Tire (R1) for my y/w 782, and mounted up a turf master on the front to match the RHS.

Hoping to get the carb rebuild and on this week and see if she runs. If so it's getting the sleeve hitch in time to cultivate some headlands before the crops get too big.

Had the 100 running for the first time in a few years. After draining the nasty gas and putting fresh in she fired right up. Then is was time for a long overdue ride. My oldest boy can finally reach the clutch.

Looks good for a garage queen :D

I moved my dogs to a better neighborhood
About 50” west

Finally pulled the trigger on a set ag’s for the rear. Feels much more sure footed now. Maybe add fluid next?

First mow with the 984 yesterday. Put the rest of the tin and hood back on last night and am going to finish up mowing today.

I had some stumps ground down from some trees that were cut last week so I used my 1772 to load up the dirt/chip mixture.

I did some driveway maintenance with my 125 over the weekend. I also used my Sears a little bit, but I won’t subject you guys to those pictures. :biggrin2:

Picked this up:

Nice gentleman. I told him he should try another ignition switch. Ends up he is only a few miles from my house so I took one over. That fixed it. He still wanted it gone so now I have too many Cubs, just like before I got this one.

Upload a picture; the ad is gone.

I put the 3 point arms on my 984 today. Took a bit to find the right 5/8 clevis pins (2"); luckily Farm & Fleet had 2x 3" multi-hole ones hiding in the wrong bin. Basically a press fit into the bracket on the tractor.

Removed a frozen kingpin/spindle
(AKA Steering Knuckle) from my
Cub Cadet 122. Had a buddy come
over and spent 45 minutes
heating the axle with an oxy-
acetylene torch and beating with
a 5lb sledge onto a brass drift. Long
time since I had such an intense
and difficult heat and beat project.

There is a grease fitting in them for a reason you know!!:beerchug:

I got this CC122 from a fellow that owed me . I used it a couple times but steering was difficult as it was so tight. I was unable to get grease to flow through the existing zerk fittings.

Yesterday, with both king-pins/
spindles (AKA Steering Knuckles) removed,
I removed the existing press-in zerk
fittings. Then I drilled the hole, tapped the holes for 1/4-28, and then installed new threaded zerk fittings.

Way to go!!!

Tilled an extremely dry garden spot..... with my 1966 model 123 and #1 tiller (My FAVORITE method of tilling!!)

On Tuesday I broke in my new Brinly sleeve hitch and Agri-Fab rock rake on the driveway. Love it. Great work saver. Should have done it sooner.

Stacked up some firewood with the 1772. The FEL works awesome for doing these kind of chores. Y'all like my truck tag?

Put a bumper that I have been tripping over and moving around in my shack for the last 5 years, painted it black and installed on the 1512 today. Then drove it around, and winterized it till spring.

Looks good. I have the same one on my 984, which I mowed with tonight.

I need to tune my driveway up - maybe tomorrow. Already have the Y/W 782 pulled out :D

Well the rain finally stopped and things have dried out a bit so it's time for Uncle Herkimer to make an appearance on his mini-haywagon. :)

I have 16 other tractors to do the real dirty jobs, I tend to pamper my keepers:beerchug:

I treat mine all equally. I have one nasty cyclops but it has P/S and a snowblower affixed year round :D

I am starting to fabricate a bigger and better battery tray for my CC122. I am going to be using angle iron from an old bed frame for primary material.

Had to move a pallet of Clip-Stone boxes inside the fence because the shed project is finally ready for them. Originally unloaded them a couple months ago from the truck with a hand cart and restacked, but didn't feel like loading them back onto a cart, dragging through the landscaping beds all the way around the fence through a gate. So I filled the bucket of the little loader multiple times, and lifted it above the fence, and grabbed them out of it on the other side and stacked them near the work area. Wife thought I was nuts and created more work, but she wasn't the one that would've been dragging around a hand cart of 60 lb boxes of stone veneer through river rock over and over.
Lifted the loader higher on future loads and curled the bucket down to make unloading by hand easier. Hopefully will have all the excess lumber returned, and debris hauled off this weekend so I can finish grading out the area with this massive piece of earth moving equipment.

Bought a new to me 2182 second serial #break removed the 54 gt deck and doing a fluid change as well as adding some parts from xtreme. Going to be putting the blower on it soon and get it ready for snow also just did the engine oil and a new air filter and plugs along with new coolant. I have the haban reinforcement to help the rockshaft found that out thanks to reading previous posts on the form thanks everyone for all the good info and stories!

Predator engine swap
 

Finished up the electrical and PTO install. It's a 1440 that's getting a Predator 670 installed.
I also have a 1782 with a very tired Kubota that will also get a Predator 22hp, once I'm done with this one.

Ready for snow
 

Got my 86 all ready for plowing snow. Snowing tonight so I'm ready. Amazes me every Fall how after sitting idle nearly all summer, it just starts right up. Time to show it some love next summer and do a bunch of maintenance. Hoping Cody is still working on tractors - I'll need his help.

Welcome to the OCC forum Bobssonbob.

We had a dusting of snow here last night and I'm happy for the help I got Thursday to set up my 1872 plow tractor. It does feel good to be prepared.

I put the lift link on my 1811 for the sleeve hitch. Next up is the extreme beefed up bracket for the al rear end. Might finish it tonight, as we're projected to see snow later this week and the 1811 has the plow/chains this year. Tempted to try my 782 w/ ag rears and rear box blade, too, in the snow.

Got to try the Original out with the lawn sweeper. Loved every minute of it! :ThumbsUp:

Well, will see if we get 18-inches or Not. But Glad we are getting snow. This will be the 1st Year I actually try out a front Blade On My 106 for snow It has usually been outfitted with a QA36A since I bought it in 2003 I am Just using it On are sidewalk that wraps around the front of the House and Maybe the Paths for the dogs In the Backyard. I actually have had the 42-inch Front Blade for 15 years and Never really used it Much other than Pushing Mulch Into a Loader Bucket

1811 is all finished, another Brinly adapter from PBJ is ordered and en route. :beerchug:

This, like every weather event, is blown out of proportion.
