Great pics drivadesl! Your son looks like he's having a good time. :ThumbsUp:

Looks like he is having a good time. Thats quite the load on the carryall :ThumbsUp:

Thanks guys. Letting him drive the CC is good, it gets him away from the TV and outside working. Plus he's learning mechanical operations. I'm guessing the carry all is good for 150lbs without to much problem, and I know the 109 can handle that. This wood was very dry so it may look heavier than it is.

Spent a little time with the Cub
 

Thought I'd pressure wash the old grease before putting the hood/ grill back on after replacing PTO clutch with a good used one.

Was wanting to enjoy this evening mowing the lawn and then discovered this mess. Luckily some of it blew out the front so it made me look for more. I had to take all the engine ducting off to get everything. It doesn't look that big since some of it's on the lawn but it all added up to the size of a bowling ball. I would have cried like a little girl if it would have started a fire. Then I got cussed out by the wife for taking a shower for the 3rd time today not expecting to rip the 782 apart. Then I got cussed out again for putting the nest on the kitchen table to take the picture. I'm going to have about 6 cold ones! :bash2:

WOW :bigeyes: Thats a load of nest. Like you said, glad you found it before it lit up.

I mowed and realized I did more than bend the frame on the snowplow this winter. Now my mower deck hits the left Front tire.

I'll need to figure out what is bent.

Wow that don't sound good. Hope its something easy to fix.:bigthink:

Me too! I had to wrestle the deck on this spring, which was a first. Never thought about checking it out.

I pulled it out today to clean the shed. I need to get the So76 out of the shed to have the boys put a coat of paint on it. We have a the fenders, front axle, and other various parts painted. Now it's time for the main frame of the tractor. The goal is to have it done for the 4th of July parade here in Ames.

Bill,

What you are doing is one of the most fun things to do. Find an ol girl in need of love, and giving it to her is such great reward.

Keeping punks from doing it again will not be easy. Our sportsmans club has some tractors in need of TLC as well, but I don't think they are beat all that bad.

I used the 100, to haul the garden tools, to the work area. Here's a pic! :ThumbsUp:

Great picture of the 100 ACecil :ThumbsUp:
Your grass looks nice and green.


I did some mowing with the 169 today. I gotta tell ya, This tractor is so nice to mow with. So much smoother than the 1450, I am really enjoying it.

Great pics Diz! You look like you are really enjoying your 169. :IH Trusted Hand:

Was mowing today and oil/smoke starting blowing out the front of the tractor. Luckily it was just the gasket between the block and oil filter adapter.

After taking the kids fishing, I mowed the lawn with the 782. Then, I sanded and painted the main frame of the Spirit of 76, and put some of it back together. The kids are not very interested in sanding and painting, so I was alone for that.

Here is a bad picture from my cell phone. My camera won't download this morning. It has the good pictures.

Wild Bill,

When you go through a cub like that 1650 your redoing, where do you get your CC parts from?

Chase

:American Flag 1:

well, after talking to some helpful guys on Facebook, I tore my creeper apart. I found a couple of worn/broken parts. today I put all the sheetmetal on my 1200, including the side panals from Curtis. everything is lookin great. sorry no pics :( yet I hope

We had a pretty good storm here yesterday! Rain, strong wind and a lot of lightning! I hooked the trailer to the 124 and spent most of this morning cleaning up the yard.

My 104
 

Least anyone here think I'm rational or sane let me point out my version of stupid.
A neighbor decided to edge her sidewalks. She edged them by digging out about 3 inches from them and about 6 inches down. I asked her about it and she said I could have the dirt. This was great for me as I still have some sunken areas from past gardens. There was only one problem. The tires on my trailer were flat. Not wanting to miss out on the dirt after already bring in a couple of yards worth this year I went ahead and hooked up my trailer to get it.
It was only a couple hundred feet there and then back. I loader my ~17 cft trailer. And it was a load! getting back to my yard both of my tires rolled off the rim. One decided to just lock up the wheel so that it would no longer turn. I got it to my approach which has an incline of about 3 ft. in a 3 ft distance ... about a 45 degree angle. The 104's ag's dug in and then spun. After some jacking back and forth I got the trailer backed up about 3-4 feet. I put her in second gear turned up the gas and with effort made it into the yard.

So yes I mow and move snow. But sometimes I just get stupid and my Cub Cadets have not let me down.

Nice seat CBH :ThumbsUp:


RPalmer, I had to laugh reading your post, I can just see you backing up and getting another run for it :ROTF1:


Wild Bill, Glad to here you got the 1650 done. :High5:

Rpalmer - I had a similar situation on Saturday, but took a different approach. This weekend was for landscape maintenance. Weeding the beds around the house, and the handful throughout the property. I fired up the 1862 and mounted my 15 gallon sprayer on the sleeve hitch. Added some Roundup "Concentrate" (made 3 gallons:bash2:) and put in the appropriate amount of water. Then I dragged the dump cart to an area that I could reach with the compressor to fill up the tires. Well, one tire continued to leak after it was filled. (Why can't tires last 8 years in the elements?) Off to Tractor Supply. Spent $30 on new tubes and tires for a 8 year old dump cart??? I should have gone to Sam's and picked up the big poly cart that had to handles for wheelbarrow use and then folded down to attach to the tractor!!!! Anyway, got the tires on, had a good lesson with the youngest daughter about how to remove and replace cotter pins for the wheels as well as removing the old tires and replacing with new. So, with the new sneakers on the cart, I pulled the 70 around and hooked it up. Threw a few tools in and started weeding. My youngest was good about getting the '62 where it needed to be for me to spray, but she wasn't too keen on getting out of the seat to help me pull weeds. Go figure! Anyway, both tractors got a light workout, the wife and I got a heavy workout, but I ran out of Roundup. Still have a little more to go.

I cultivated my garden last night.

These little 100's are just the right size for cultavating gardens.

Our Sycamore tree has started it's yearly bark shedding, so I had to get to work! :ThumbsUp:

http://i487.photobucket.com/albums/r..._0656Small.jpg

Mowed with the 169 then hooked the trailer to the 149 and used it to haul brush from trimming some bushes and trees.

ACecil, you and the 100 looking good pulling the sweeper :ThumbsUp:

Hooked up the cart today and picked up limbs from the bad weather this morning. Also put on my new oil adapter kit.

All the red on my SO76 has now been sprayed. I need to paint the rear wheels, and figure out how to restore the fiberglass hood and paint it. My goal is the 4th of July parade, but I don't know that it will happen, as I have to install the motor and rewire it.

At least the red is painted.

Got out the 100 today

Hey camarokidz28....I like the "work bench" setting behind the 100! :biggrin2.gif:

CBH --- It makes a good painting table , top for those bigger parts and lots of holes to hang smaller parts down . picked it up in the trash along the road .
Last sunday we saw a toro setting by the road with the trash .one of those you set on top the motor had 4 good tires on it soooo beaing the :bigthink: junk man i am a flop of the tail gate and the kids had it loaded

Good to hear you got it running great... Now can you come up here and fix mine? It has running problems. with the carb open about an eight of the way... it just runs away, like way past 3600 RPM. I put a new carb on it, and I still have the EXACT same problem. I am getting a small engine guy to come take a look. he is a good friend... so it wont cost anything! unless he needs parts

My 'new' (and first) Cub Cadet
 

Brought it home today.

1572
50" deck
45" snow blower
Cat 0 3pth
Loaded rear turf tires

I'm pretty happy with the purchase and unbelievably can't wait for the first big snowstorm to see how the blower performs. Here's a picture.......

Nice 1572 Bob! Good luck, with it. :ThumbsUp:

Nice diesel...I'd love to have one.
Jason

Today, I graded the driveway back into shape with the 582 and grader blade. I re-plated some 'oops' bolts that I screwed up last night. They look much better now. Tomorrow, I'll get the 782D out of winter storage and get it mowing again...
