Double 07 is right. That's hilarious, shoulda sprayed round up on the tire LMAO.
Here is how I see it, some people are addicted to smoking,or gambling, or doing drugs and I don't have any problem with that. I personally don't have any of these pleasurable but wasteful habbits, so I just buy tractors and take pride and enjoyment out of bring them back from the dead and using them as they were designed to be used decades ago.

This site is your second mistake, it will give you the know how, and incentive to continue updates on your tractor and yes that's a good thing. Have fun with it.

I agree with previous posts, if it's not too late seek spouses help. LOL.

Is it the front axle that leans the tires for tighter steering? No, no, what I got is fine...
I know better to ask the spouse, she never knew until I showed up w/it on the trailer, all I got was "the look".

So you are in the more advanced stages. Sounds like you need to be in a case study!!

Now there's a scary thing, I think we've all seen that a time or two. You're doing something wrong if you haven't hah

That is a tough look too...I got the same when I rolled in with the 149, but she soon came to realize the yard gets mowed more often and seems ok with it now...hate to tell her that I have my eyes on a sweet 104!!!!

yeah, I also got the "But you already HAVE a lawnmower" a little bit later....already got the shop full of a 64 Chevy suburban blown apart for paint/bodywork, but it is such a long term project, I needed an "in-between" project I suppose.

Yesterday got one wheel painted and tire mounted, thinking of drilling the front axle for a grease fitting at the pivot point. The pin is certainly worn, had a cut 16d nail holding it in.

You better look closer. It already has a hole and grease fitting. They all did. On the back side, next to the pivot hole. Your zerk may be gone, but it's drilled already.

It was obscured by a dirt dauber nest, once I got the axle out of the dishwasher I found it. Apparently the first sighting of it since 1974. Dry, dry, dry in there, that's why I figgered it must have been the older ones that had fittimgs. The ball in the zerk is rusted solid.

That pic right there makes me laugh, and it's really cool at the same time. Like the Supers are watching over the rest of the herd, taking care of them almost. Very cool setup nonetheless, something to be proud of.

You can go with metal valve stems like I did when I had my tires filled with RimGuard on my 646 FEL. Here is a pic of the super short ones I used. I got mine at Pomps tire.

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.
