Hey Diz, was it uncomfortable mowing with that mail box post sticking out of the seat? :biggrin2.gif:

Diz Jr., Man what a view. For me, stuck in the city, that's just picture post card pertty.

That's odd, I have always had a LOT more trouble putting the other style spring assist on... lol Maybe it because I don't know what I'm doing.

Good one CBH, i hadn't noticed that, I was just parked real close to the mail box :biggrin2.gif:

RPalmer, It really is scenic out there. Its fun to go there and turn the Cub loose.

ihnick, It mowed really nice. My boss (Wade) hates to mow. So he's not to particular, as long as he doesnt have to mow it he's happy :biggrin2.gif:

The one I put on the 104 was my first. I stuck the spring in from the rear then went to the rock shaft and attached the rod to the spring and clamped it.

The wide frame was my first and after trying to do it the same way I had to put in the spring then attach that to the rear bracket to hold that part in place then remove it and attach the rod without the front bracket. Then I sorta hoped the rear would stay in place and between switching sides several times and standing on my head just to see what I need to do without looking got it on. There is no love loss between me and my 129. And I thought this was just another good example about how they require much more time to work on. Not that I'm on the clock or in a hurry. But after having the narrow spring assist basically slide into place this just added fuel to my fire. And WHY did IH do away with the cool old school hood latches like on my 104? I had to put the latches on the 129. I see why someone would pitch them. - Peace -

Diz: You have sure had a lot of fun with your 169 since you bought it

Yes I find my 100 and NF a joy to work on. The WF.... the only good part with that is being done.:biggrin2.gif: If I had 3 or 4 hands I might even like driving the 129.

Both hands AND both feet, are busy pretty much all the time, and at the same time

My mind has become too simple for that.

Hey Wild Bill,
Yea its been a great tractor. I wanted to take it out there this time because the grass was pretty thick in places. I wanted to see how it pulled through the deep stuff. Its amazing the difference 2 H.P. makes. The 149 does great but this 169 will really hog through the grass.

TEET,
If i would have had my wheel weights on i would have tried it.
