    Oh my............ This is NOT what I wanted to see guys!! My dream was just knocking a pin out, installing a bushing in the axle and making new pin and sticking it back together. Ya, right. You guys are real dream killers..............LOL!! Thanks much for the pics David. Thanks for...

    Okay, question for Monday morning. The 127 I just bought needs the front axle rebuilt: spindles and pivot bushing. What does it take to get the pivot bushing out? Do you have to pull the motor? The oil pan hangs down behind the pin and it doesn't look very accessible. I want to rebuild...

    It was ordered from 1600 Brookpark Rd Cleveland, Ohio. Delivered 8/24/71. Actually the unit traded in was a 106 with 42" deck, not a 105. Trade in value was $943 back then. Don't know the vintage of the 106?

    I gave him $300 for it. Getting extra deck, and some rims/tires too. Sure could have talked him down some, but seemed fair enough. It runs, the deck works, just needs a bit of TLC. I paid $600 for my 149 about 6 yrs ago but it was much nicer unit. Compared to the very pricey junk they...

    Score of the day: 1971 127 Been sitting under a tarp for a few years, but with a shot of ether and a jump it fired right up an drove into the back of my pickup with some really old gas in the tank. Needs tires replaced and some general clean up but it runs really nice. Getting extra deck and...

    Yup, my blade looks very similar with all the added supports and brackets extended to match. It too will send you sideways in heavy snow if you push too hard with too much angle. But, like I mentioned, I haven't put any weight on the tractor(yet).

    My blade must have been a 42" originally. The PO must have had 6" fabricated and welded on each side. Looks nice, just a weld seam to notice it was widened. If I had the time I could grind it down and make it invisible. It's on the "to do" list LOL! Seems I recall a few years ago when I...

    I feel lucky, I've plowed with my 149 with a 52" blade and it is a bulldozer and I don't even put weights on it at all. I wondered the first year, but never did anything about it. Yes, you can get it stuck/bogged down but I was really surprised as long as you have chains on it, it goes through...

    Jason: Ya, the seat isn't looking quite as nice today as it is finally starting to break apart at the seems. Had to happen. Charlie: I got the new shaft installed tonight. One note, it would be better if you hadn't installed the pin. I found it very difficult to install my fan, so I had...

    Oops, sorry, I'll keep this more on topic. Here's my 149 that I put the new driveshaft in. Had it about 8 yrs now. Runs perfect.

    Uh Oh!!!! I've been founded out. Dangit I can't go anywhere LOL!!! Guess since I'm not "John Smith" it is kinda hard to hide? True story: Just last weekend a racer that just started running with our stick group came over and was talking. He tells me "you know how wide your fan base...

    Charlie, Thanks for giving me the shaft.............oh, wait, that didn't come out right. Received a package yesterday. I'll get the other one pulled out this weekend and back to you. Thanks again for taking care of the situation. Was not really concerned about it but it is nice you...

    OK. I know this one was a TIGHT fit, had to leave the engine coupler loose to get enough wiggle to get the other end pilot slipped into the hydraulic pump hole. It's easy to take apart when it is way sloppy. All new makes it fit only one way.

    Thanks Charlie, that is very nice to take care of this. I wasn't going to really worry about it. I thought maybe something was missing. If you haven't already, don't put the pin in. I did that and it was a real bear to get everything installed. It would have been easier to put the pin in...

    It went in with effort(hammer and punch), but not enough apparently. The worm clamp works well, but I might machine up a sleeve to slip over and then hold it with a grub screw. Looks a little more factory then a worm clamp!

    Well, the driveshaft/coupler on my 149 finally was giving up the ghost. The rubber coupler was just about torn in 1/2. The drive pin on the motor side has been beat to pieces since the previous owner started using 1/4" bolts instead of a pin. About every other year I had to replace the bolt...

    https://www.ihcubcadet.com/forum/messages/4/246390.jpg Wish I could find a kit like this for my 149. I tried using a lift cylinder, but just too long. Or maybe I couldn't get it mounted properly? The travel was not enough no matter how I tried to mount it.

    Mark G. When I originally set the screw, I turned it in til the idle started to drop off(as I usually do on my cars). I thought that was right. Thus the reason it would not restart(not enough fuel). I had also set the high speed and it would run up on the governor really smooth(no...

    So a few months back I wanted to put a new set of points in my 149. It was getting hard to start and figured it was time. I got that taken care of thanks to the helping hands here. It started better, but still not great. I still had to choke it when warm and really work the battery to...
