I got another Cub yesterday. It's a 126. It will be my mower once I get a few things fixed on it and get my 42" cast iron deck fixed up. It is missing the PTO engaging lever and linkage so I need to fab up something there. Anyone have any good pics of that?

Congrats, on the 126, Adam! :beerchug:

Nice work, Denny! :ThumbsUp:

well had the 169 for the first time. got the ags on the back, but the bolens 50 pounders on and the cub weights over them, put the brinly hitch and blade on and went and played a little. got the headlights working but just need to put my new tail lights on. its dang near ready for plow days in october.

Great looking 169, Nick! Sounds like you had some fun with it. :beerchug:

Here's my new 126. It needs a little work. The frame has been butchered to fit a 14 hp and then someone welded in some scrap steel but didn't get the frame straight. I'll cut it out and fix it right. The sheet metal is all really straight so that's a plus. Engine seems to run strong (12 hp) no knock, no smoke.

Nice 126, Adam! Good luck with it. :ThumbsUp:

Lookin good guys!!!
You all have been busy this week :biggrin2.gif:

It looks better in your pictures than it did in mine.:biggrin2.gif:

Got my 123 (with the #1 Tiller attached) and tilled part of my garden. Then, sharpened the blades on a Yazoo push mower, on my Snapper push mower (cleaned the deck while I was there), and on the 123's mower deck. Had to work like heck to get the nuts of of the Cub's blades. I don't think they had been off in years. Also lubed the spindles and cleaned the deck. I need to find a deflector chute for the 123 deck.

Got mine out to wash it and my boy decided his needed done to. Took a quick picture before they got a bath but didn't have time to get a picture of them all cleaned up before it started to rain.

Those are some sharp cubs, Junior! :ThumbsUp:

Haban Lift Rod
 

Made another lift rod for my 1872 with the Haban blade. Used 3/4" rod, squished the ends a little and drilled it. Pretty cheap and easy. I made another one but already trashed it. To be fair, I knew it had a weak spot and I was jumping up and down on the blade at the time. Not the strongest setup I have ever seen. :)

I probably will come up with something a little heavier later one, but works for now moving that thing around. It is heavy!

Today I got the hydraulic pump back on my 105, put the blade on, and graded the drive way. :ThumbsUp:

I got my 122 fired up today! I've still got to get the front grill and loader back on and try and remember how the throttle cable hooks to the carb. But other then that I'll be back getting seat time and getting ready for the NC plow day!

Great pics, mrcubcadet! Thanks for sharing. :beerchug:

Glad you got the 122 fired up, Duke! Isn't it an awesome feeling! :ThumbsUp:

Aye great pics being posted!


A very good feeling been a long time coming. Finally have some time to work on it and it's not to hot to work on it.

mrcubcadet
Don't you just love the rear blade ? I really enjoy grading with mine.


Methos
Glad to hear you are making headway on the 122

Yes I do! It does a nice job. :ThumbsUp:

Raboley, Makes sure you get one of the braces Cub sells that links the outside forward lift arm to the mower deck lift arm for support. Part# HA-14297. If you break that rock shaft with that heavy Haban blade like I did last winter it will ruin more than just your day! When plowing snow take 2 of the 4 springs off it or the blade won't flip when you need it to. Lessons learned the hard way.

Anyway Just used my 1872 for the 1st time since last winter. Took it apart to fix the rock shaft and got carried away with a total refurbish. Just got it all back together and mowed this afternoon.

The 1872 Looks Great!!!! :ThumbsUp:

Nice job on the tractor! Looks pretty darn tuff. Thanks for the pictures!

Today I tore down the 126 to fix the butchered frame as well as a few other things. A PO had rewired the tractor and it was a joke. Between the bad wiring, the battery box that was barely tack welded on, and the homemade gas tank mount sheet metal screwed to the engine tin, it was a fire waiting to happen. I'm gonna take my time and fix it right. I'm surprised it even runs since the plug wire is just laying on top of the plug. It doesn't clip on like it should.

Just to let ya"ll know...........I am a PO but the PO before me is the one that did all of the "custom" work to this 126.:biggrin2.gif: :ThumbsUp:

Got some awesome seat time in today! Had to haul a branch and some limbs to the woods, then I did some lawn sweeping.

Allen, Looks like you were really enjoying yourself. Glad you got some seat time.

Nice pics! I got some more seat time in today also. :ThumbsUp:

Love the front tires! It certainly is one mean look'n thing painted black and yellow. Its a sleeper too, no decals! :biggrin2.gif: :ThumbsUp:

Squatch, thanks for the heads up on the brace, didn't know there was such a thing. Got a picture of yours?

I just replaced my rockshaft as it was broke when I got it. I made sure to put liberal amounts of anti-seize on it just in case I get to do it again sometime. I also put a weld on the backside of the bracket to strengthen it.

And I really like those front tires...kinda wish I had done something like that now...

Lookin good ACecil
Your grass sure is nice and green. You must have been having more rain than we are.

Thanks for the great comments, guys! :beerchug:

AC looks like fun!
Raboley I don't have one yet but will before winter. Dealer said the were avail. Bthein told me about them after I broke my shaft this winter. We were discussing implements and supers. It's mainly a strap that connects the 2 different lift brackets together I believe. You could make one but for the price I'll just purchase one.

Thanks Diz & Squatch!

Diz: We've been getting some good rain lately. There's more in the forecast today. :beerchug:

Haven't "done" much lately, but just received a box-o-gaskets to replace the intake, exhaust and carb gaskets on the Onan along with a carb rebuild kit. She's been surging after warmup. I'm hoping to remove the shroud sheet metal this weekend and start disassembly/reassembly. I also need to remove the rear end (again) to helicoil the lower two axle tube threads on the right side. The guy that installed the 3 point must have gotten a little aggressive with the torque (me):banned:, and I can's stand the wet mark on my garage floor:bash2:. I needed to change the Hytran after it's thorough cleaning this winter anyway, so not really a big deal. It does add a little bit of work having to remove the 3 point and rear pto to change the fluid, but hopefully after this change I won't be doing it again anytime soon.

Squatch - I like what you did with the your Super, the paint and the tires are a good look, but the most important part is that it's a worker! I'm still kicking around the idea of shooting some red on the 982, I just haven't been bit by the paint bug yet.

AC - Your 100 looks great! I have a 70 in 'roller' form right now while I'm deciding if I'm going to do a light to moderate rebuild on the replacement engine. I really just want it to pull a cultivator between the rows of my garden since it's a bit narrower than the 982 with the tiller.

Thanks Toyman! I'll have a moldboard plow for the 100 soon. :ThumbsUp:

Squatch, Nice to see it all back together and working for you. Really looks great!

Bob

did some digging with my 169 today. loving the tractor more and more.pulled the brinly culti sunk in pretty good at half throttle. pictures show my use of the 50# bolens weights. 1 they stay on the culti nice and help it sink and 2 they hide behind the ih weights very nice.:biggrin2.gif: also in the picture is my 13 year old golden retriever zoey

Great pics, Nick! I bet, you had a great time playing with 169. :beerchug:

Cool pictures of the 169 ihnick
Looks like it was digging in real good.
I know what you mean, i am loving my 169 the more i use it also :biggrin2.gif:

IHnick - nice cultivator. That's on my short list of attachments.

I had a spare 45 minutes and surprisingly got all the tins, shrouds, carb/manifold, and exhaust removed. I found a blown exhaust gasket on the right side. Hopefully I'll have my surging problem all worked out this weekend.
