The duals look great! I, finally!, got my garden in on Sunday. Had a few hot dry days, but the ground was still a little moister than I would have liked. I just didn't want to give up any more of my growing season. The 982 had a few slight issues that I corrected. First was the throttle cable slipped on the lever side, and I lost my Rpm's. Don't really like press fit clamps, but that's what's there. I crimped it a little tighter and twisted some safety wire on either side to keep it from moving in the future. My lift got very slow. I forgot that I only replaced one of the relief valves because it was leaking. I put the other new one I had in and it was working better. Still not lifting with authority, but better. The 982 and 1862 are due for oil changes, and the 70 needs an air filter. I was in the garage the other day, and just wanted to see if the battery kept it's charge on the 70, so I turned the key, pushed the button and the thing fired up instantly, with no smoke. I need a set of 6-12 ags for it and some ribs for the fronts, and I think it will look sweet in it's original condition. Then maybe a sleeve hitch for the rear and a set of cultivators to keep the garden looking good.....maybe:bigthink:

Thanks guys! :ThumbsUp:

I'm glad you got it figured out and you got to play in some dirt! Got any pics?

Sorry - no pics:angry: Father-in-law is in bad health, so I don't have the benefit of any extra time right now. While my wife and I were planting the garden on Saturday, we got an emergency call and had to drop everything, close up the shop, wipe off real quick and speed off to the home. It's been pretty trying.

The 442 tiller is a dream to use. So overbuilt, I think I'd have to use it everyday of the summer for 20 years to wear it out.

I hope he gets feeling better soon! I know how it is to have drop something for family health reason.

I added a front center roller to my cast end deck to keep from scalping my yard. It made a big difference. No more bald spots in my yard. I made the roller out of plastic and the mount is 3/16" steel.

Great pics, guys! :ThumbsUp:

Great job, as always, Adam! :beerchug:

Hey everyone I'm pretty new here but this site has giving me the want to restore my tractors so I stripped my original done. I thought it was going to be a easy restore but I have found a bunch of little problems so now the fun begins hope to have it done shortly so I can put some pictures up.

I rebuilt my carb and made it more methanol ready. I have been having problems with needle and seats messing up. I replaces the rubber tipped needle with a full brass one.

I also installed a spring under the float to help put a little pressure on the seat.

Changed the jet for a smaller one. (was running a little rich)

Changed the oil and loaded it in the trailer to get ready for a pull tomorrow.

Allen,
are you wearing a pink hat?

I drain about to gallons of gas out or my crankcase and cylinders out of my 1810!!!:angry:

ACecil
You and the Mrs. looking good on the new Cub.
I still think you look more at home on the 100 :biggrin2:

Sorry, Lew, pink isn't my color...lol. :beerchug:

Thanks Diz, I feel more at home on the 100. :ThumbsUp:

Mowed and gave my son a ride on the 104. Took the head off the 125 and cleaned out the carbon. Moved the 122 to the shed.

I put the 48" deck on the 123 I had in storage for 2 seasons.Sharpen the blades,these came off without any PB blaster.
I put it away dry so I had no problems getting it going.

:Announce:PICTURES!!!!

Nice looking cubs, Lew! :beerchug:

I picked up a QA42A thrower last night, and eventhough it's 96* outside today I couldn't resist hooking it up (plus it's easier to get into the back shed that way. I will restore it later in the summer when the temps are a bit cooler. It was complete with everything but a drive belt, and everything spun nicely and had no excess play. Not a bad $80 find.

Nice find on the snowblower Dale!:beerchug:

Ditto! You got a great deal on it! :ThumbsUp:

Dude, I didn't know you could use a blower to mow grass!!! :bigeyes: :biggrin2:

You should go rent a snow making machine so you can properly test it out. Your neighbors would probably break out the straight jacket.

I wonder how a freshly fluffed hay field would do?:bigthink:

Took the tunnel cover off of the 1811. Everything looked pretty clean, (not much oil) except for a little dirt and grass.:ThumbsUp:



While I had the tunnel off, I looked at the rockshaft to try to figure out how the sleeve hitch lift bar will attach. But still not sure, does anyone have pictures of how it would attach?:bigthink:

got rained out for work today so i finally have some well needed cub time in the shop. i started by doing some tire swappin. i had the brandnew tru powers on my 1650 which is enginless right now so i decided to put the trupowers on the 169 and took the ags from the 169 and put on the 128. i'm really loving the new look for both tractors. now off to work on different cub projects. woohoo love rainy days. :beer2:

Looks great, Nick! :ThumbsUp:

Today I painted the bottom hitch bracket that I had made for the 1811.

Can't wait to get the hitch on! :biggrin2:

ihnick
Cubs look great :ThumbsUp:


mrcubcadet
That's a hefty looking lower bracket :beerchug:
Nice work.

Looks great, Conner! :beerchug:

Got some seat time in today. Worked the 100 and lawn sweeper!

Allen, It looks like that sweeper does a great job. Then again.....maybe it's the driver. :bigthink:
CaptMax

Lookin' great as always Allen!! :biggrin2:

Thanks guys!







Looks good, Allen!


That sweeper does do a good job! :ThumbsUp:

Lookin good ACecil

Thanks guys, I appreciate it! The sweeper always impresses me. :ThumbsUp:

I can't believe I went this long without a sweeper. My neighbors love watching me sweep the yard. lol. I don't think they understand the need for seat time, LOL.

I hear ya, DWayne! I believe, my lawn sweeper, is my favorite attachment. :ThumbsUp:
