Your cubs look great, Matt! I'd sure like to drive a super someday. :ThumbsUp:

Hey Allen, If your ever in Louisiana, Just give me a call. You can drive mine. :P

All joking aside. Matt She's a Beauty. Nick, it's always good to work on the cubs, Gets your mind off of the fake mean world out there.

Thanks
Cody

Thanks Cody! I'll definitely give you a call, if we're ever in your area...LOL. :beerchug:

Boy would I love to have a sickle bar mower for my Cubs! I don't have much use for one, but so what!

Today, since it wasn't 100 degrees, I put a new fuel pump on one of my 2135s. Then on 104 number two I changed out the left front spindle, realigned the tie rods, centered the steering and changed out the drag link. Now it turns the same in either direction.

Finally got a day with less than 90% humidity yesterday. So I got the hood, rims, engine panels, and all the misc. little parts in primer. Hopefully I'll have everything painted by next weekend.

Had some more bark to pick up, before the thunderstorms came in. Here's some pics.

Well I was mowing down 3' tall weeds today. I plan to do some more in the morning, but I think I will sharpen the blades first.

I also need to replace the motor on my electric lift.

EDIT: I went out and sharpened the blades, next time I plan to switch the left and right hand blade so they wear more even.

Acecil what do you mow your yard with?

Nick,

My wife has a Snapper RER, we mow the yard with. :beerchug:

Holy mother of pearl that is a big tiller!! I want to build something like that, put extensions on a series 2. How well does it work?

young enthusiest It workes great with the soil / dirt i have .

FYI, that's going to be pretty hard on the bearings in the tiller. If you want to do that, you should add another bearing at each end of the shaft. That is too long of a cantilevered shaft.

After mowing down 3'+ tall weed and brush, I have learned to NEVER under estimate the toughness of a Cub. I have been mowing down small trees, wild roses, briers, and a very nice looking patch of poison ivy.

I am using the deck all the way up, it's slow going but the Cub is living up to it's name.

I took the 682 to the neighbors to haul home my free '83 honda big red he asked if I wanted, in the mean time I will be mowing his lawn because he cannot.. Not a bad day at all, free wheeler and some good mow'n to do!

You'll enjoy having a 100, Bill! They grow on you. Glad you got some seat time! :ThumbsUp:

The 100 is looking great Allen!

Thanks Duke! How have ya been doing? :beerchug:

got the 1450 ready to mow today. shes ugly but will be put on main mowing duty

I picked up a 10" Brinly plow yesterday. The guy also has a disc and Brinly cultivator I'm going to get too. Can't wait to try out the plow. I will get some pics once I get them all home.

Have fun with the 1450, Nick! :beerchug:

Looking forward to your pics, Adam! :ThumbsUp:

it was a nice day and had to sweep out the shop so i pulled all the cubs out and parked them in a line. heres some pictures. the other 4 are at my dads place. from left to right is the 100, 109, 129, 169, 1450 and 1650. (there kinda blurry because i took them with my blackberry and when the get blown up on the computer it takes the quality out.)

Nice cubs, you have there, Nick! :beerchug:

Glad your happy with the plow,:WWP:

Added some new toys the other day. A good friend of mine ownes a small mowing business, ran into him the other day and he says he has a customer that is looking to sell him his old cub. He ask me if I'll go along to look at it so he doesn't get ripped off. So we head over there Sat. morning, on the way he says he has a lawn sweeper for sale to which is great because I've been looking for one for a couple months. Get there and the older gentleman says go on down to the shed and take a look, My buddy opens up the doors and there sits one of the nicest unrestored 104's I've ever seen. I asked him what is he asking for it and he says 250, my responce is one way or the other were taking it home with us. Needless to say he bought it. So I say to the older gentleman that I'm interested in the sweeper, and he says he has some other tractor stuff he would like to get rid of. I asked what do you have and he says well I have this push mower, a yard cart, a narrow frame plow, and everything I had for the mower. I said we can work something out so we pull everything out and the stuff looks brand new. We're standing there talking tractor and I say well what do you want for this stuff, He says I can tell you really apperaciate my things and you will take very good care of it so how's 25 bucks sound, I almost fell over. I offered him 200 and he said no you take it and put it to good use, I'm just glad someone who will take good care of it is taking it. Here's a couple pictures of the big stuff. Thought you guys would enjoy the story.

Nice score, Junior! :beerchug:

That's an awesome deal Junior!!! Great story too. :beerchug:

I got my frame and fenders primered today!! So I have every part finally primered and ready for paint. I hope to spray the finish coat this week, and re-assemble over the long 4th weekend. I'll get pics posted when it's done.

Great pictures of the lineup :ThumbsUp:

WOW :bigeyes: Nice cart and blade.

Good luck getting all your painting done :beerchug:

I mowed my mom's yard, approximately an acre or more, with my 104 number one. There is a water pocket just under the surface of the ground and the grass gets tall, very quick, and thick. The 10 hp in the 104 didn't like it too much. My 2006 JD X320 usually just breezes through it without problem, but the 104 had problems with it. But it mowed it. The 12 hp in my 122 did a little better when I mowed my mom's yard with it recently, but not neither of them handle it as well as my JD.

Love the 1282 and it's matching sweeper!:biggrin2.gif:

I've never had a Cub with an Onan but I did have an old Sears with a 20hp Onan. Loved the power but starter went bad close to $200 for a new one.

TMO. I thought those old box end decks mowed kinda crappy too. Once I got a machine with a 44A it mows a lot nicer. You can corner faster with out leaving strips and they handle thicker grass better. This is just my experience, some guys might have a different preference. Also those 2135s are good little mowers. We have one as a back up

The 2135 does a pretty good job, but even it can't hold a candle to my JD X320. It's just a mowing machine, fast, powerful, tight turning radius. I haven't used a 44A deck, so I can't compare it to anything I own now or have own. And I mowed with a lot of different machines and brands. One day I hope to get a commercial ztr, I'm sure I will be impress with it's cut.

You have a impressive cub line up, Terry! Like wise, my uncle's '69 t-top vett cant hold a candel to his '98 svt cobra mustang. But for sure, there is nothing cheap about the vett where as not the case in the svt. One thing turned me off about my ex-girlfriends new jd-something lt was that I could not mow in reverse...what a p.i.t.a! Other than that, the jd sure did cut well with power, and you just cant take that from a jd!:American Flag 1:

Ah, yes, the RIO (Reverse Implement Operation) switch. Actually it's not hard to get used to. I thought about defeating it, but then decided just to get used to it, which I did. And the reverse mowing thingy isn't really JD's fault, it's some lawyer out there. But JD could have design their switch like CCs. But it's no big deal to use, I do it now without even thinking. But, there lies the problem - that and the fact the operator has to look down on the dash to find the switch (I don't have to as I can find that switch in the dark). Messing with that switch takes your focus on looking back, so I guess these safety switches like this one just doesn't really solve the problem. If anything, they make the problem worse.

Not much excitement going on here lately. Same ol' same ol' !
Today I did a little "bush whackin' " and then hooked up my little yard cart to the 2082 to help with the clean up.

Neat pic, CBH! The 2082 is looking sharp. :ThumbsUp:

Used the old 72 & loader to change the deck blades on mom's LT1042
