Things are getting exciting...
 

Stuff for the 128 project are starting to roll in. I got the clutch parts in and the clutch reassembled. I ordered a wiring harness from MLamar today. He supplies a very high quality product for a heck of a price including battery cables.
Also my decals from Maple Hunter just came in the mail today. I have an order from Chris Westfall to pay for and that will just about complete everything I need except for two new front tri rib tires and I'll get those next month. Looking forward to getting this 2 year project finished up.

This is what it looked like when I had to stop working on it for a year or so. I now have the rear fender pan installed and the engine is temporarily setting in the engine bay. Will get the clutch connected to the tranny and hanging ready to connect to the engine when I get some small items on it finished up.

:IH Trusted Hand:

Looks good DWayne!

This makes me so impatient to restore one of my toys!!

Looks good! :beerchug:

Run it up to Virginia, and I will paint it to match my QL 1000. :bigeyes:


:ExtremeFunny:


It is looking good, it is fun when you 'round the home stretch!! :bigthink:

looks great

nice looking tractor
:beerchug:

DWayne you are at the same point I am with our 102, :beerchug:.

I ordered a wiring harness from Mike also and couldn't be more happier with his work. He will get all my business from now on. :beerchug:

Not sure I would let Big John near it or it may end up looking like this:biggrin2:

cant wait to see it finished!

I think it's looking great.

Good to hear DWayne:beerchug:
Glad things are coming together.

Yeah, that's looking great.

Looking forward to the pics! :beerchug:

The sales decal on the side... did you have a new one made? :bigthink:

Nice job DWayne! :beerchug:

Thanks for all the replies guys.

I'll hold off on the lightning bolts paint job for awhile.. :biggrin2:

Yes, I had some custom made dealer decals made up a couple of years ago.

I just got done putting the tunnel cover decal and headlight panel decal on. Letting them set up over night. Will try to get a couple of pictures of them tomorrow if I can.

That is a very nice looking tractor. Where did you get that dealer decal? I have been looking for a source for them.

I have a local decal shop that can make them, but they are limited to around 18 or so as a minimum order I don't remember the exact number at the moment.

Your 128 looks nice, DWayne!

Thanks buddy. :beerchug:

Top notch decals they are.
I've got mine stuck on every tractor that didn't have an original dealer decal. Even my pickup:beer2:

What he said! Gonna be a sweet ride when your done. :beerchug:

A couple of quick pics this morning.
Only thing about the maple hunter decals I am dissapointed with, is they don't supply the air cleaner decal. :angry:

I appreciate it Sam. This is the Cub that got me started loving Cubs. First mowed with it when I was 8 years old. Been in the family since it was new and now it is mine. :biggrin2:

Looks great Dwayne!:beerchug:

I think the 108/128s are my favorite tractors of all the cubs. Yours looks spectacular. Can't wait to see it finished.

The decals look nice! :beerchug:

That is going to be a sweet ride when it's done.:beerchug:

Thanks guys. I do have a sweet spot in my heart for the WF's. :beerchug:

Got home a couple of hours ago and did a little bit more work this afternoon.

I had been able to save the original dash pan and was able to paint it and clean up the aluminum trim. I took the large pan decal and simply cut out the text that I needed and placed them on my original. I don't like putting those decals on the pans because of the rough texture, it just never seems to look right.

The decals stand out in the pics being a bit off, but in person you cannot hardly tell it. Was hard to get them lined up with that lousy cover paper on them. :bigeyes:

Cub never rolled one out of the factory looking that good. :beerchug:

Your 128 project is coming along nicely...
Is it going to get dirty?

There will be some dirt on the tires. :biggrin2: It's mowing days are over, but I did put the lift on for a reason. :beerchug: It is nowhere near being a show Cub. I just wanted to make it nice again and not be rusting.

Coming along nicely Dwayne!:beer2:

Looks Great cant wait to see it in person

keep up the good work!

Really looks great DWayne:beerchug:

Thanks everyone, hoping to have it completely done by end of year, altho I don't think it will take that long.

Did a little bit more decal work this morning. I did figure out unfortunately that I have lost the metal decal for the steering wheel and am having no luck finding the steering wheel nut. The hazards of long term projects. :bash2:

Got the hood decals on and the OPEI decal.
