    After raking leaves all winter long and still not having won the battle, I am seriously looking for a bagger system. Given where I live and the size of my lot, a trailer type system is serious overkill. Has anyone adapted a readily available bagger to their cub? I'm considering finding a...

    Thoughts on a welder

    When you say the MIG will do nicely for a that is encouraging. And adapting from arc is a plus. When you say welding thick, what thickness are you talking about. I've done a lot of thinking about what I might be welding and I'm pretty sure that 1/4" is likely to be the thickest. Will a MIG...

    It is nearly impossible to be certain as to who manufactures what these days. I worked one summer at a brake pad manufacturer. On my first day there I no less than a warehouse worth of brake pads that had been manufactured for a competing manufacturer; complete with the competitors logo...

    Charlie, I don't believe the buttons are stuck down. When I had the center cover off I remember pushing them. Chuck

    Thoughts on a welder

    Kendall Thanks for the info. Don't worry about "rattling on". For me the info is invaluable. I have heard that a wire feed (MIG) is the way to go. From everything you said it sounds as though you have confirmed that for me. Given that space is a commodity for me and that I am likely only...

    When you pull the release lever for the hydro how freely should my 149 move. I can't telll a difference whether the lever is pulled or not.

    Thoughts on a welder

    Kendall Help me understand. I know what stick welding is. I think I now what OA welding is. Compare for me MIG and TIG. Are these wire feed? Now you mentioned welding up to .375" and it got me to thinking. I think that for my purposes .375 may be the thickest I might ocasionally weld...

    David K, Now I'm no engine builder and my other hobby is VW's I've got a couple Dune buggies and a VW based kit. As I've planned to build a mild engine to replace the first stock motor I built, Ive talked to a number of folks about using platinum plugs along with other ignition mods. While...

    Thoughts on a welder

    Hey all, I've grown in the the need for a welder. I've did some arc welding in high school (but not very well) and generaly have a good handle on material processing. I'm looking for recommendations on an easy to use welder that is a little forgiving for a novice welder but will work well...

    Read the post on the platinum plugs. I cant help but recall the advice I have gotten time and time again for my air cooled VW and have seen in practice on countless engines even Hi-Po modified engines. NO PLATINUM PLUGS IN AN AIRCOOLED ENGINE. It may not be a concern in these but I know for...

    Hello all, Have a couple problems on the my 149. The deck leaks off at rest. I park it with the deck raised and it drops down in time. Now I know I shouldn't leave pressure on hydraulics but I didn't think there was enough here to be a problem. Do I need a lift cylinder. Also the...

    Is it possible to mount a snow blower for a NF on a WF. What is needed to do this. The particular blower I have in mind has been mounted and used on a QA NF. Thanks to all for the all of the discussion on decks. I recently purchased a couple mule drives. I'll pick the best one and...

    Bryan M. Consensus?? yeah what was I thinking. But assuming both style decks are set up well does one cut better than the other. And secondly are decks interchangeable NF to WF?

    The deck on my 149 has 3 same sized blades. The deck on my Dad's 104 (which may soon be mine as well) has 1 large center blade and 2 smaller blades to either side. In my opinion the deck on the 104 gives a better cut than the deck on the 149. Is that the prevailing consensus? Will all decks...

    Hey all, I think I have read that an 82 series mule drive will fit a previous WF such as a 149 except that the pulleys need to be changed to accomodate the smaller width belt??? Correct???? Charlie As wrote the post I recognized my uncanny ability to tell someone how to build a clock...

    Paul B & Roland, Just a note on the voltages. While 14.7 volts is a maximum in a charging system, truthfully anything above 12 volts bwtween the voltage reg output and ground means that the battery is being charged. However how well the battery is being charged is directly related to the...

    Kevin D. I just may try. I found a picture of a 2182 with a 60" deck and there looks to be a lot of similarity to the older decks, mule drive and mounting set up. Anyone Does anyone have pictures of a 48" 2000 series deck? (Mounted and unmounted hopefully but any pics will be...

    Model 292 bagger with fan assist.

    Need some guidance. I have a 149 and desperately want a rear bagger. I'm considering a 292 bagger which I've found is for the 2000 series CC. From the pictures I've seen it looks as though the 44" deck on the 149 and the bagger might be able to be made to "play well together". What do ya...
