It was cold here today so I went to the shop and
I made a new yoke? for my cultivator.

Here is the NEW yoke-hitch I made for my cultivator . Just below is the old piece that the P.O. made. It was way too flimsy.
I'm not sure what the original hitch is supposed to look like. so I improvised.


I pulled the cultivator around the side yard to see how it worked.
I need more tilt so the rear and front spoons dig at equal depth.


I could not fing my hitch pin so I used a screwdriver.

Here is a shot of the cultivator attached to my #1 original.

Between deer hunting:I pulled the smoking, choking model 73 out of the barn and brought it in the garage for a look at the engine top end.
Found out a couple things.
1. Pulled the head off and found lots of slop in the piston side to side. Valves had some minor movement too. Lots of carbon. Looks like a rebuild of this engine next year.
2. Wiped off the dirty oily grease from the rear cover and found the factory sticker proclaiming that this is a 8 HP. Since I haven't gotten into the hp info for different models, I guess this makes sense? model 73= 8 HP?
Anyway that was not of great concern to me I like the way the other 8 Hp runs on the model 83, ( I think its a 8 HP?)
Buttoned this model 73 back up and while the son Eric was here he took it for a smokey "Spin and Grin". I think he would like to have it at his place to keep the 106 company!

Eric got a nice 8 point today (last day of archery season for PA). So I helped him process that and get it in the fridge.

I did briefly look at the plow and tiller I have. I need to take some pictures and post them So you folks can get me started on new projects.

Regards,
Chris

Default Silly

Ok this sounds silly but I used my 127 and front plow to push all the leaves from my 23 trees into piles in the street. Much faster than a rake or backpack blower haha

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
