Nice 1812!!
 

Here's another link to a vid I made of the Original. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H51n4Mhf1EQ
I couldn't get it to start today as I wanted to clean up the driveway, supposed to get some snow on Wednesday:biggrin2.gif:. I had spark so I figured it was fuel related. Decided to swap out carb\oil bath for another one I had that was rebuilt and she fired right up. I took the video after cleaning the driveway up. So I was plowing the drive and the front right wheel locked up totally! Got back to the shop and popped spindle and wheel off and pumped the crap out of it with the grease gun and finally got it break free:bigthink:. I guess she just dried up and siezed, all good now:beerchug:. Also I put the Grote headlight on yesterday as the cheapo's I bought didn't last.

Glad you got some wrenching and seat time today Jude.

Glad you got the O going, Jude! :beerchug:

Thanks guys:biggrin2.gif:. The O' does run much nicer now too.

Here's what I've been up to lately.

I got my deck patched up and put some primer on it. I used Rustoleum primer that says it's good for light rust. I'll see how it works.

Picked up a quart of Hurculiner to coat the bottom of the deck with. Hopefully it'll hold up. I first painted it with Rustoleum Rust Reformer. It's supposed to stop rust. The deck was badly pitted from wet grass stuck to the deck for the last 47 years.

Bought a couple new gauge wheels for the deck. They're steel wheels with bearings.

Painted the grill I made for the 126.

Found an old Hurst T-handle I had from a previous truck so I threaded the shifter with a die and put it on the 126 for the heck of it. The knob on it was cracked anyway.

Started on a 3-point lift for the 126.

Fantastic work, Adam! :ThumbsUp:

We have been busy deer hunting and getting ready for maple syrup season.
I do have 6 hives of bees that were active during the warm spell at new years.
The cubs are put away and resting. Can't wait to get into that 73 and get some engine work done. Hope to spend more time visiting with all the cub folks here as it get closer to spring. Love this site, and could spend just hours here soaking up the good cub stuff! Hope things in Cub land are good.
Regards,
Chris Casbohm

Thanks Allen.

Beautiful work IHinIN :ThumbsUp:

Got some pics of the 100, in what's left of the snow. Also had the #2 cart, and did some hauling.

Jeff (teet)

Thanks guys! :ThumbsUp:

Great pics all! Allen it looks like you've got room for some more cubs in there.

I started the 122 and 1200 yesterday. It felt good to hear them running again.

Thanks Duke! It's always great to hear the cubs run! :IH Trusted Hand:

NC 100 CubNutz!

And impressive too! :beer2::beerchug:

Great looking cubs, Diz! :beerchug:

Thanks Guys:Salute:

Nice score on the plow Diz :ThumbsUp:

Diz, your 169 looks tough with your new plow mounted...cant wait for some of your infamous action shots!!! :beerchug:

Jeff (teet)

Allen- Good for some seat time! Diz- Now that is what I call a pair of aces! Thanks for the pictures! Keep them cubs rolling!:beer2:

Thanks JayBrd It was on craigslist, just up the road about a 1/2 hour. I couldn't pass it up :High5:

As you can see the pooch likes to attack the snow when it hits the ground. I am not too impressed with the EZ-Slide though, I have more clogs with it than bare paint for some reason.

Great pics, Jay! Love the Tru Powers! I plan to have a set on the 128, when I get it. :ThumbsUp:

Beautiful pictures JayBrd
That red Cub really stands out in all that snow :biggrin2.gif:

Nice pics guys!!! Very nice pair of cubs there Diz Jr. Nice looking 169 with that new plow:beerchug:

Great pics JayBrd! You have your ski boots on??

Allen, you'll love'em even more when you get them, traction is very nice..

Diz, I think I have severe case of red fever! :biggrin2.gif:

Thanks Jude, I had foot surgery a few weeks back, so have to wear the thing for another 4-5 weeks yet..

:biggrin2.gif: Your in pretty rough shape man! Perhaps you should have a helmet on too..... foot and hands both operated on in the last month! :LMAO1: Just yank'n your chain.... 682 looks sweet! Those true powers look even better in snow. How do you like the front tri-ribs? They rough on grass in summer when mowing? Wasn't sure if I should put them on the 982 or V's? I have been looking at the tires while out BBQ'n this winter....they are getting pretty dri-rotted..... :bigthink:

Not sure if it's the years and the miles or just the miles...:biggrin2.gif:

The tri's are a bit hard on the thinner lawn when it's wet. But in thicker grass they are fine. They help a lot on snow though.

Nice pics Jaybird. I like the long drift cutters. I have the stock ones on my blower but could have used longer ones last year. Maybe with a piece of plexglass between them! I painted the inside of my blower with EZ slide last year. I can't say It makes a huge difference with snow. It's really kind of a rough coarse finish. I think good glossy paint with some carnuba wax would be hard to beat for wet snow.

Thanks squatch, I won't be using EZ Slide again when I re-do it for next year. I do have a sheet of plexi glass zip tied to the grill so there is only about 4" each on the outer edges to keep the warm air off of the chute, that seems to help a bit too.

I was just thinking about making the mouth of my blower bigger with the plexi. I was busting 5'+ drifts last winter and they kept falling over the back of the blower when they broke. I then had to back up and run the blower over the same section again and again. Not a normal winter but this was the rule last year. Haven't even used the blade much this year. We've been dodging the weather so far this year. Except the cold!

Oil change
 

:Cub1: I cleaned off the drive and walk-way, and then changed the oil. It was too cold to do any more! :IH Logo: But it was sunny and got some seat time!:Whistle: Just 2 picts of the oil change operation going on.

Love seeing the pics of your 71 John!! Boy, that gas tank is screamin at me:biggrin2.gif:. Nice to see you got some seat time, I'll be getting some here in a few minutes, got another 4" of the beautiful white stuff:beerchug:

got some more snow yesterday. had to use the cub 122 with the front blade since i broke the bolt on the speedex plow. it may not push all as well as the speedex does but it was fun! hydraulic lift is nice.

today i got the 102 out and tried out the snowthrower after i applied some EZ-Slide. works allot better now.

i got the plow fixed on the Speedex so back to plowing with that.

Great pics of the 71, John! :beerchug:
