Man oh man, if only the entire seat/trans cover would tilt to the back like a semi cab does! That would make it so easy to keep everything clean and grass free. Keep up the good work!:beerchug:

HMM,Rudy maybe you can design a mod for that!

Now you know we cant talk about making any changes and being off topic or the immortal one will scorn us!

I started back on the one I got from him and well after getting all the oil / dirt mix off the frame I found where the leak was on mine. The two power steering lines are cracked. Dosnt really mater I needed to remove it to weld the crack in the frame.

I wish I had the patiance to do a compleate resto on a tractor. I have a green friend in Ga that offered to do my WH, I may just let him do it.

Vince actually I think its a good idea and something to try. Ill add that to my mod list so we can talk about it. Working on the cub is my way of dealing with stress so I make time to tinker to keep me sane LOL. I think the gauge mod is a definite but I may use the cluster and mount it at the bottom of the dash. I'm changing the pedal pads to the style on my 2284 and I'm also using the Cyclops style rubber foot rest. Just looking it maybe possible to put hinges on the front fender mounts to allow the fenders to tilt forward a little. I don't see any way to make them tilt back with out major mods. Ill up load some more pictures tonight of today's progress

:bigthink: Making changes is called modifying and part of the topic. Dragging on about paint and heat and taking away from the topic of fixing and modifying does not fit the topic. :bash2: Glad to see you are concerned tho to keep things in line. :biggrin2:

Well I worked on them too as a hobby. Some take it WAY to serious. I was doing some more looking tonight and found another crack behind the the big steering plate. Well now I guess Ill have to make a choice to try and save it or pull a few more things off and evil pay it. Sucks cause I like the 18 I have and the 20 would look good with it.

Now that Im back working on mowers I cant get into it like when I was driving. Seeing pics of someone doing a total restore or even like I do just shoot them to keep the rust off them, I enjoy.

Im glad the "correct police" haven got to me yet, LMAO Id be in jail! But when you have kids running them you never know what will happen. Danny has flipped his 100, tore a fence down with Vinces 582, he ran over trees with his 67 110, and Vince really hasnt done anything to destroy one yet. So it will be a while before I tear one all the way down and redo it. But I really wanted to put my PF Eng loader on the 2072.

Cleaning the fenders. There are several dents and scrapes but I think they will paint out fine for a work tractor with a little prep work

I took my trusty toothbrush and some degreaser and started cleaning the frame and driveline so I can do a little painting and make it look a little better

You've been busy! Thanks for the pics.

Vince you need a Daddy only cub LOL. I really like the 2072 so far. It actually drives better than the 2284. I always wanted to do a resto mod after seeing all the cool cubs the guys here were building but I wanting to wait until I had a platform that would suit what I thought I wanted. I think the 2072 fits that bill.

dsmithjr 05-06-2012 10:52 PM

Thanks Cecil! Maybe if I get this thing done I can borrow my dads blade and do a dirt pushing video to keep up with you LOL
