What did you do to your Cub today?

The best thing about Ag tires is that they grip and don't spin on wet grass nearly as quickly as turf tires. That is important on our hilly terrain.

I'd be more concerned about the soil rather than the grass.

One of the reasons I got my 284 loader tractor was for the wet springs. Skid steer, larger tractors with R1s etc cleats the soft soil pretty well. Not ideal for me.

The con is snow traction isn't good with turfs, but they do hold chains really well (hence, about all they're good for!).

Replaced the p/s cylinder on the 2182 yesterday. I think it is officially "leak free."

Used the 5/8" adjustment suggested in service manual, but will have to tighten in a touch to get the wheel oriented correctly (assuming I can without over/under steer).

Started putting the fenders back on yesterday and sorted out the wiring.

I hate to admit, but the skinny Ag's on my 100 are deadly to the lawn unless VERY careful! Extra especially when wet!

Got the fenders, footplates, and seat on the 2182 tonight.

Does anyone know where the (I assume it to be a ground) white wire tied to the the 2 blue powers for the tail lights goes? If not I'll pull the wiring diagram, but it's grounded plenty well though the chassis.

I also ended up wire wheeling the foot plates and shooting them with some primer...the left side was pretty badly pitted. Figured I'd at least clean them up to be presentable before putting the rubber pads back on.

I use my Cyclops 1864 to plow snow in addition to yard duties. The foot plates have been wire wheeled and bead blasted, primered and painted. But moisture gets under the rubber causing corrosion. My tractors are always garaged and never in the rain except for the falling snow when plowing. I think the corrosion is inevitable.

I was hoping this was from the PO leaving it out (paint is pretty faded/grimy from tree sap).

Maybe a yellow bedliner type product is in order?

Put IHC weights and chains on the 1811. 1/2-8" carriage bolts leave enough room to perfectly fit a 2nd pair

Yesterday I got some grease and dirt off my friends cub 149. Going to get it mechanically sound this winter. I put the snowblower on my cub 149. I sold my old 149 snow tractor along with all my gardening attachments to a young man that wanted to put in a garden. In the 50's yesterday. Turning colder and maybe get some snow Thursday afternoon thru Friday morning. Forecasters can't predict how much snow yet. I am ready!!!

Had the first plowable snow of the season overnight. Had to put the 125 to work plowing out about 5" of the white fluffy stuff.

Started right up at 22 degrees, no issues, everything worked as it should. The added cross chains made a noticeable improvement in traction, especially on the unpaved, grassy areas. I'm really glad I added the hydraulic lift a few years ago, makes it much less work than the old Armstrong lift.

Working for a living, just like they were built to.
That's a great picture.
