Spring maintenence? - Page 2

1864 just needs a pto side crank seal, a good cleaning after the cab and blower are removed, and mower deck installed.

Super is going to get split, cyclops rear installed, and 3 point added.

782 will get steering box rebuilt, wiring finished, and correct hood and headlights (so J-mech won't get confused any more).

102 needs a clutch and a bunch of goodies I have on the shelf.

Then a few more projects. I'm not going to have time to mow!!

Don't worry Travis your not the only one who won't have any time to mow either as we will be just as busy with thrower\blower rebuilds and mower decks needing painting, and pops super needing the braces and oil changes for the whole fleet, and two not running up to par but we all will get there, LOL.

Oh I forgot, I have a 450 and 451 that should be gone through too. And a couple blades that need work too. I don't know if summer will be long enough!

My list is so long I don't even want to list it.

~682 needs a motor installed. (CH18) I'd like it to be my grass killer this year.
~The 50C deck needs new bearings.
~The 44C deck needs overhauled IIRC. (Never used it before.)
~Need to get a motor assembled (K301) that will either be going in the 1000 or the 1050.
~Need a creeper for either the 1050 or the 1000 so I can put one of them on the tiller.

That's not even everything...... but that'd be a good start!

Hopefully the 2072 only needs an oil change and sharpen the blades, maybe a hydro filter. Come to think of it I have new tie rod ends for it. Oh yeah, the joints on the end of the steering cylinder are pretty well worn. And the front wheel bearings are pretty noisy. But it was ready to go when it was pressed into dog pile spreading duty back in January. Oh yeah, saved about 3 gallons of antifreeze I pulled out of something that I plan on adding to the rear wheels to try to get the spinning under control better. I'm guessing I can get 8-10 gallons total in the rear tires?

The 128, been kicking back trying to crank. A tune up, oil change, sharpen the blades and it should be ready to ride.

The 982, still a work in progress. Had problems with the carb as well as the wiring harness plug in on the regulator. Its low on the priority list at the moment.

The 129, oil and blades, maybe a hydro filter.

The 382, rarely use it. Just jump it off when we want it.

The 100, strictly a butt buggy built for 2 (It has a school bus seat on it). Its always ready, sometimes neglected, but always ready to go.

And then there is the 122. Never really put it into service, it was given to us. We got it running but don't need it enough to spend any money on it for some maintenance. Dad is getting an itch to ditch the deck and mount a sprayer on the back so he can keep weeds under control around the farm.

Oh yeah, the 128, 129, 122 and 100 are all slated to get steering upgrades, if I can 1) find what I did with the parts and 2) find the time to do the work!

My list of things for the 149 this spring is long too, but there are several things that need a fixin!!!
* New Hytran and filter for the Rear
* Weld up the Trunion and new springs ( So I don't take off like Dale Jr. while I am mowing)
* New sneakers for the front...Just got them waiting on a warm day to get them on
* Rebuild the mower deck - FIL mows but since the yard is going to be tore up most of the summer cause we are building a new house I should have time to get this done!
* have my order in for a set of Carlisle Tru Powers for the rear too as soon as mother ok's the expenditure LOL!!!!

This is just a few but should keep me busy for a bit!

other than that it should be an interesting spring/summer!

I have planned for my 129:
Change engine oil.
New deck belt, and sharpen the mower blades for the 48" cut deck.
Mow the grass as few times as possible during the growing season.

i would say the cub cadet 2072 needs to get fueled up and the mower deck greased....but with the 16ft pile of snow infront of the shed from months of stacking snow with the truck plow and the occasional town payloader, i think itl be july before its melted enough to open the doors on the shed....

No, no, no you got that all wrong. If you mow more often you get more seat time!

3205 will get the blade & chains removed. The weights are staying on. A cpl slow leaks in tires fixed.The seat bracket needs repaired or replaced & possably the base? It's just kind of hanging on by one side. The other side was rusted out from leaving outside by PO. The oil & filters good for a while and it's running great!
