Nice pics, Duke! Load up your 122 and plow, and come to PD in Pickens, SC this weekend. It's going to be a blast!

Thanks Allen! Not to sure what days I'll have to work. I have a 3 day weekend this weekend. There's a tractor show in Turnserburg next weekend too. My plow is no where close to being set up right but was able to power right thru my problems. I would reather spend another day plowing that's for sure! If I have to work I will hit the tractor show in the morning then go into work 2 4pm now if I'm off I trip just might be in store! I'm sure there will be several folks that will be able to help me get this plow set up correctly. Got to start looking for those adjustment parts just in case.

I wish there was a plowing guide like the tiller guide we have here on the site.

I'll keep you posted on what happens with work. The weekend of the 16-17th going to be in Ohio going cub hunting hoping to bag a creeper for the tiller.

I had a very productive Cub weekend. We started with Dustin's 149. We removed the front spindle bolts and thoroughly cleaned and greased the assemblies. We also checked the trans oil,and got the mower deck installed. We moved to my MIL's 1450 and did the same front suspension work as well as replaced the hydro fan,the air cleaner gasket and did the deck blades after we had them sharpened.Then,I moved on to my 1200.Removed the wheel weights and started priming/painting them to look nice. Did the spindle removal/grease deal as well as greased the front axle and the steering box. Installed my mower deck blades and checked the air in the tires on all 3 tractors.Still have to do the same to Dustin's 108 as well as install a clutch assembly in it. Getting them ready for the plow days in Danville and hoping to hook my 1200 to the pulling sled.It helped that we did most of the maintenance last fall,as now they are ready for mowing duty now...My last endeavor was to get the (free) power washer running. I got it running after 5 pulls. Need to get some corrosion out of the water pump,but it's a Sears unit,so parts should be available...

I had the 982 and Toygirl had the 1862 with the trailer on the back. She cleaned up the remnants from winter and winds, and I got dog duty (pun intended) We ran around the yard for a few hours and got it nice and clean for spring. Both tractors got their spring maintenance a week or so ago, and I found that the plug gap for the 1862 in the cub manual is different than in the Kohler manual (.025 & .035 respectively). It always took a few turns to start (at .025) and I regapped the plugs to .035 and now she fires in about a 1/2 of a turn. Having an issue with the thottle cable/governor on the 982's Onan. I hope to have it worked out tonite.

Worked out the issue with the 982 at lunch time. The throttle cable was slipping thru the stay (no clamp) on the throttle lever. I re-adjusted the cable and clamped the stay (large pliers) a little tighter and she seems to be good as new. I got out my engine analyzer and am going to check the hi & low rpms and adjust the governor to spec. I thought I broke something important and am relieved I did not. Not too impressed with the way that cable attaches to the lever.

Here's some pics of the grader blade I built. Now it just needs a few coats of Cub white paint. I think I'm gonna make some removeable side plates so I can use it as a box blade too.
