    Refurbishing my 108

    Back at the shop today, Mostly did shop work (1961 Studebaker Hawk, and 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk), but did get some time for the Cub parts. The first thing I did was install the new tires onto the rims. Fronts were easy... the rears were a bear to get the tires to seat. I had to use (2)...

    My Dad’s IH Model 149

    Before doing any restoration/rebuild.. you should familiarize yourself with the workings of the tractor. Be sure all the features are operating properly, starting, running, charging, etc... By doing this, you will become familiar with how the tractor is put together, what items go where... and...

    Super Easy to Add Oil Temperature Guage

    Now that you know the "sizes" of the adapters- (and if you don;t have a second plug)- you can can add a "T", so you can still drain the oil without disconnecting the sender.

    Did I make a mistake?...

    I have my '72 CC-108, a 1996 CC-1430, and a 2004 CC-RZT50. The deck on the 1430 is TOAST! I've repaired it many times... just to get another season out of it. I hate mowing with the RZT50... and it doesn't like my yard (1 only mow 1/2 acre- and I can be done in 12 minutes) The deck on this...

    Fuel valve/glass thing

    Being in the antique auto restoration business... I love these old parts.. and rebuild/rework them. When that filter was built... they were using a CORK gasket, and by the late 60's, a "flat" O-ring. The pumice-stone filter can be cleaned and reused forever. (I clean mine with Liquid-Plumber...

    Weird Things After Replacing Start Solenoid & Key Ignition Switch

    1) Check for power at the Ignition Switch RUN terminal 2) Check for power at the PTO Switch #1 (power in) and #4 (power out) Terminals (with switch "ON") 3) Check for power at each "reverse" switch.. -in and out- If you have power TO these switches, but not out, you can "jump" them by removing...

    Weird Things After Replacing Start Solenoid & Key Ignition Switch

    The switches on the handle- run through the brake actuated switch. I'm thinking the switch on the brake is the culprit (stuck "in") . The 2nd switches on the handles is for stopping the electric clutch when going in reverse ( a feature I bypassed on my RZT). I would look at the brake actuated...

    New Dash and Gauges for IH 782

    Perhaps you could add some fittings to the drain-plug area (like a "T") and insert the unit's probe there... That would give you true engine temp.

    Hi all... As the title states, I have a 1430 with a stripped steering gear Part # 748-0236. I'm looking for a CHEAP used one... I really don't know what I'm going to do with this tractor, as the deck is rusted beyond repair. I'm not going to put much money into it.... but I'd like it to steer if...

    Weird Things After Replacing Start Solenoid & Key Ignition Switch

    The brake must be in the released position when you move the handles. It's a safety feature.. perhaps you have a sticking switch at the brake, or at the handles. (the handles release them). EDIT: I just re-read your post... are you saying that when you release the brake, it dies? Or only when...
