ACecil- I agree, Its good to see the IH 100 and IH #2 cart in action! I'am waiting untill this winter to get started on my #2 cart project. I'd have some tomatoes in too by now, But I'll use a little patience with all this wet weather we have had lately! JayBrd- Clean looking tractor-mower! I thought work was no fun, untill I got a IH Cub Cadet!:American Flag 1:

Thanks John! You're right, there's nothing like working with an IH Cub Cadet. :IH Trusted Hand:

Today was a good day, change the pto seal in my cub, mowed my yard and didnt lose a drop of oil!!:biggrin2.gif:

Glad to hear you got the Cub sealed up plummcrazy1864

I bet its been a while since this has been to a factory.

Great looking 71, John! :beerchug:

Mowed the lawn today with my 1641 after putting a set of Meg-Mo blades on it. Meg-Mo web site link. http://www.meg-mo.com/meg-mo-system.html

How do you like the Meg-Mo blades so far? I have read a lot of mixed reviews about them.

I like them, no clumps of grass after mowing to deal with. They don't make them to fit the 38" deck on my 1210 so I doubled up the blades by putting 2 blades on each spindle and the results seem to be about the same. I think the key is 4 cutting edges verses 2 on a regular blade.

Cleaned out the transaxle on the 882
 

3 point removed, ready to rumble.

Looks like Hy-Tran was used. Lots of encapsulated contaminants. I can tell the gasket has never been off, maybe even the first time the trans cover has been off for that matter. It was like scraping oatmeal out. :buttrock: I used a clean paint stir stick to muck it all out, so I wouldn't gouge up the metal surfaces.

Despite the initial horror upon opening the case, the fluid did its job and then some. The gears look like they've never seen a day's work and I didn't find one spec of metal. :beerchug:

http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/attac...1&d=1274719384

I was going to cap off with a shot of nice cleaned cover reinstalled, but I somehow managed to order the wrong gasket. :Forgot: I bought the one that goes further forward in the pump area. I am hoping the Cub dealer I plan on picking up some Hy-Tran from, will also have the gasket on hand.

TheSaturnV,

Your pics aren't showing up.

GEEEEE WHIZZZZ TheSaturnV,
I have seen some that were gunked up but nothing like that :Shocked:
But she looks like new in the last picture.
Nice work :ThumbsUp:

Wasn't that gnarly? :bigeyes: It's a wonder I was able to drive the thing at all with that crud piled up in there. Luckily, it was really easy to clean out.

:)

I finally got to try out the bagger I put on the diesel earlier in the spring. It works great!

youngest son used the ol gal today
 

son used the ol 70 to do alittle light hauling

Wow, I didn't know that those existed for the 782's.

:beerchug:

Nice pics Matt and dad's 70! :beerchug:

Nice pics guys.

Pulled the engine out of the 100 to put on the belt for the hydraulic pump. I'm using a GM power steering pump. While I have it out I found an oil leak. It was leaking from the dipstick housing where it attaches to the block. A new gasket and a little RTV should fix it. Tomorrow I'll true up the clutch plates on a lathe and try to get the engine back in. Then I should be ready to try out the pump and see what kind of pressure it puts out.

You have me curious IHinIN don t forget the pictures.

TheSaturnV-

Yep, the deck is a 46GT from a 1541. It fits all the 82 series tractors with no modifications.

I'm getting ready to put a new wire harness in the 782 so I switched the 44c deck over to the 982D for mowing duty. It went much faster than I thought. I just had to change the positioning of the undercarrige and lift links and check the side/side and front/back level. That diesel just sips the fuel while mowing. I also ordered new heim joints/rod ends for the steering from mcmaster to replace those worn out junk oem parts.

Isn't that the truth. I'll be hard-pressed to use up one tank full by Fall.

:)

Had a few limbs to haul. We had a bad storm last night with some hail. My wife snapped some pics. :beerchug:

You and the 100 with the cart are lookin good ACecil :ThumbsUp:
Hope the storm didn't tear things up to bad.

Looking good Allen and the 100 too! haha

Thanks guys! :beerchug:

Got my hydraulic/ power steering pump mounted and tried it out. I hooked up a gauge and flow control so I could check the pressure output of the pump. It got up to 1200 PSI before the belt rolled over on the pulleys and trashed the belt. It was a junk China belt from TSC. Gonna try to find a good belt next time. I think 1200 PSI is a little too much so I'm gonna try to shim the relief valve in the pump to lower the pressure a little. I'm thinking 7-800 PSI should be more than enough.

Does anyone know what kind of pressure the hydraulics normally put out on a Cub?

I still need to find a valve and some cylinders but I think I know a guy who might have some I can use. I'll check with him next week.

Sorry guys, no pics yet. I dropped my camera a couple weeks ago and killed it.

You would need to remove shims to reduce the pressure. I think my manual says that 782s are set at 600-700 psi, and the larger 982 at 7-800 psi. I wouldn't go a lot higher than 800, either.

Thanks Matt.
I found a site that talked about increasing the pressure on a GM pump by removing shims to increase pressure on the relief spring and thereby increasing pressure output so I'm going to add shims and try to get it down around 700-800 PSI.

That must be backwards of the way the hydro pump reliefs work.

Either that or whoever wrote that is wrong...I can't envision how you would make a relief valve in which you would remove shims to increase the pressure. That seems counter-intuitive. If the relief valve is a plug with a spring and cone- or ball-shaped plunger under it, you will need to remove shims and not add them.

Now you've got me really curious as to how the relief valve in it is designed.:bigthink:

Do you have a GM pump or some other brand? I googled around and found that a lot of other PS pumps have a relief valve more like what the hydrostatic pumps use, where you'd remove shims to decrease the pressure.

The 982 pump had a relief valve set at what you posted. The pressures were increased on the later Cubs, 900+ IIRC as the 982 struggled to lift the tillers. This is one reason I went to the 1882 pump on my 982.

BTW...no sweat on the lift low, big difference.

IHinIN,

I suggest a remote relief valve, the one I bought was about $40 and it's adjustable from 500 to 1500 psi and very quiet and smooth.

Scott

Here's an exploded view of the relief valve in a GM pump. The shims go between the end cap and piston housing to decrease pressure on the spring. To increase pressure you remove shims and/or add small washers under the spring.

Yep, that's definitely different.

What brand pump do you have?

I assume it's a Saginaw pump. It came off an early '70s Chevelle I believe.

Those GM steering pumps are almost the same from 1962 to at least 1985 or so. The only real diffenrence would be the thread and the can on the back. The same rebuilt kit should fit all of them.

Great job, Bill! You have been busy. :beerchug:

she got the day off!!!
 

I worked her yesterday plowed up a small garden, disked it up, then dragged spring tooth?/ chisel over it for kicks! ol cubs tired... need to build a power lift for it...:bigthink: the manual lifting wears me out!!!!

Busted out the "O" this weekend to finish up moving the last of the dirt pile. Both of them got a good work out doing the last of the heavy work for the new landscaping..

Terrific shots and great looking pair of machines. Any more pics of the landscaping, etc?
