Over the weekend, I painted the 3-point and sleeve hitch adapter on the 126 and painted the front roller I made for my 42" cast end deck.





I also decided to make a sleeve hitch mount for my fertilizer/ salt spreader. It's just mocked up in the pic.

I love the fertilizer spreader on the Brinly IHinIN!! I've always wanted to make something like that but I haven't gotten around to it. Call me stupid if I'm missing something but I couldn't tell how you're gonna run it. Will it still be ground drive? I might see if I can rig up something like that.

I am betting he does an electric motor to engage the thrower. I have seen a few done like that. Very nice and easy to do. I would like to make a bracket like that to fit an electric sprayer onto. Would be much easier to spray all of my fence lines like that.

Thanks guys.

I'll be using a motor and gearbox from a cordless drill to run the spreader. When I first built the spreader, I mounted the motor underneath. That was a mistake though because the salt draws moisture and it ran down inside the gearbox and rusted the gears together. This time the motor will be on the top. I also have a rheostat I'll be wiring to the motor to control the speed of the spreader wheel. The motor I had before was too slow with the gearbox in low range and too fast in high range.

Used the 102 to pull a wagon with honey supers down to the apairy and pulled off one super of honey. That is a nice running tractor.
Bought some parts for the new 147, choke cable, throttle cable assembly, front deck "eyes for 42 inch deck. and dowel pin for the drive shaft to engine refurb.
Regards,
Chris

I got the 126 out and mowed today. I can't believe I mowed with a MTD Dispose-A-Mower for the last 11 years. So-long Huskee! It sure feels great to be back on an IH Cub.

I got the frame for my spreader tack welded together. The lever for the trap door on the hopper is mounted. I'll make the drive shaft for the spreader wheel tomorrow and then figure out how to mount the motor above the hopper. Sorry, no pics today.

Moved the 86, 102 and 127 out of the garage to provide room to work on the 147. Took the 86 down to the apairy to look for swarms. I think it may be to late now and they may not swarm again until August.
Pulled parts off the 147, and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned some more! Feeling better about this newest tractor As I gain knowledge about this from others and this forum
Regards,
Chris

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.
