Today,(less than 5 minutes ago) I repaired my sons 149. Seems the valve that pushes the oil to the lift cylinder took a dump. I replaced it with one from a parts 1450 we have laying around. Had to swap the o-rings and fitting from straight ones to 90's,but it went on with no ill effects. Now I have to tack weld the lift arm as the pin hole is destroyed and I can finish it up tomorrow.Maybe I can use my Cub to push the snow the next storm,instead of the JD 165 which I just finished up cleaning the carb out of,It's been a good reliable unit though,just not as cool looking as the 1200..

Don't throw that malfunctioning valve away...usually the problem is bad O-rings, which are fairly simple to replace.

Matt, I took the center piece of the valve out and I noticed the o ring on the lower side was bad. Planning on getting replacement O rings and trying it. I have to do some researching to see if they have a kit or at least a dimension of the o rings. I hate to toss things until I find out it can't be replaced or fixed. I don't have a local Cub dealer,but have a good friend who deals with dealers and hopefully he can hook me up. I am just glad the part on the trans wasn't the culprit..

camarokidz28,
Nice find on the 100s :ThumbsUp:


bignastyGS,
Glad to hear you are getting the hydraulics figured out. :beerchug:

camarokidz28, congrats on the 100s but do us a favor and get rid of the JD seat. lol

Got my headlights in today. Now I need to get them wired up. Welding on the retainer studs toasted the decal so for now I'm gonna paint the panel white till I repaint the tractor and get new decals.

Great job on your headlights, IHinIN! :IH Trusted Hand:

70
 

Been real busy @ work, I put the Christmas party awards on and last minute jobs people want done before the holidays. BUT I did pick up a CC 70 around Thanks Giving. Just this week I got it in place for restoration. I've got the engine out, head off and the front frame off. Jimmy my son has a 102 he is restoring, I would like to try to get both engines rebuilt at the same time. I've got a lot of time off this week and next, the kids are out of school, so we'll get a good start on both tractors. Let me guess... you want pictures? Well I've been taking a few as I go- the camera is frozen shut in the truck-ICE STORM!!
