Thanks, ACecil. Looks like you had some fun today too! Man I can't wait to be outside with just a tee shirt.

Come on now....really, outside in a T shirt, and raking leaves?? You really know how to make us feel bad up here in the snow belt!!
I didn't get any Cub time today, but I did walk to the barn an look at them. :biggrin2.gif:

cj4200,
Great pictures of the loader. Looks good on the 129 :ThumbsUp:

ACecil. Can't believe you are outside in a tee shirt :bash2:
Looks like fun though :biggrin2.gif:

I can't believe it either, guys. We had snow on the ground last weekend. It'll be getting cold again this week. :beerchug:

Love the loader I want one so bad! AC your killing me with the T shirt pics. We had high winds blowing snow drifts again today. Caused a major road on my way to work to be closed which would have made for a 45 minute detour at least so I turned around and called in a vacation day.
Spent some time sorting out the cab on my 1872. The front shaping metal straps came in this week. I forgot to pick them up when I bought the cab! The cab is for the 82 series so I've had to do a little modding to get everything working just so.
Reshaped the straps that hold the canvas up front so that all my pedals clear and I can get the canvas tight to the hood and cowl. Still need to put a couple of more grommets in the vinyl/canvas to pull it tight.
Shimmed the chute adjuster so I can turn it between the cab frame and the tractor.
Cleaned up the electric wiper and tried it out. The PO did a nice job fabbing it up it works well and travels just the right amount on the windshield. I think I'm going to add an amber beacon on the roof. It seems the PO had one on it. Still need to make a nice clean wiring harness for the cab with fuses and switches. I think I'll put a trailer connector in the seat pan of the tractor so I can just plug the cab in when I put it on for winter.
I can't get over how good of shape the vinyl and windows are in. The vinyl windows are nearly perfect and unscratched after almost 30 years! I cleaned them real well today.
In this pic you can see that the right side door is a little off. I think it got bumped with the tractor moving and tweaked it a little. I'm going to try to correct that as best I can.

before I added the shaping straps. They go forward from the windshield and then down to the footboards.

Glad you and Brandon got home safe, Bill! :ThumbsUp:

Wild Bill,
Glad to hear everybody got home safe and sound.

I have been out with the 149 cleaning out driveways this morning. Did my own plus 4 other neighbors.

Bill that sounds like somthing taht would happen at my house lol but good job :ThumbsUp:

Since we had our snow and I finally got the blade hooked up and operating I was jonesing to do some more work with it. The grass on the side of our parking area had built up to about 3 inches higher than the concrete so I leveled it off with the old 149. Now the rain water can run off as it should. I am amazed at what this old cub can do. It wasn't easy cutting through the sod but with time and finesse I got it. I just got the chains on after our big snow but man do they help. Fun, lots of fun today!
