    Dennis, the tractor I want to use doesnt have a front pto, which was why I decided to use it - I need the pto for my mower/tiller/snowblower etc and I need that at the house. The 129 w/o pto I was just going to leave up to the place I hunt and cut firewood. So thats why I was asking about...

    Well so much for plowing. Poured ran last night (enough my cellar flooded a little) and drizzled all morning since. Yeah I had read the faq's on setting it up first, which the only thing I didnt understand was "LANDING ADJUSTMENT: The plow bottom will react similar to a rudder while ground...

    Donald, I am using the center of the 3 holes. I'm not sure if I need more depth, I dont think its going down to the stop as it is. Even with the tractor up on cinder blocks on the one side (8"?) and just a ramp on the other (2"?) it sits on the floor and I'm still one notch up from the bottom on...

    I went out and gave the plow a test run in the garden. It did much better but its still not setting down in the furrow. It did roll most of the soil over but maybe because the garden isnt all connected with roots (well except for the weeds that are already growing). Here is the furrow...

    Ok so I sharpened up the coulter, raised it, put the tractor back up on cinder blocks, flattened the plow. Pics are here: http://s903.photobucket.com/albums/ac235/kc2ebm/cub_cadet/plowing/ The plow is just about dead even, the tail is up maybe 1/2". The plow will go down a bit farther, it...

    Thanks for the help fellas. I'll try and move the coulter up, and tighten up the bolt for the left swing - it was already limiting left swing a little, but perhaps not enough. I'll try to rig up some weight too. Steve B. I tried all three of your figure B and ended up leaving it in the #1...

    Could anyone give me any advice on setting up my plow? I tried to follow the faq, put cinder blocks on the one side, etc, but its just not working out too well. Trying to put in two small gardens in the field, 10x20 each. The plow isnt getting good depth and its not turning over the soil either...

    Dennis, when I returned the assembly to them because it was wrong length shaft I included the factory shaft so they could make it exact. Best I could tell when I got it back was it was identical to factory. And yes, there is a ball in there which I included. The shaft seems to be in the right...

    JC... havent done anything yet... I work 12hr nightshifts this week with 1hr drive each way, dont have time for much. Maybe this weekend. Oh and many of the parts were actually cheaper than OEM. But getting the whole package deal was more expensive since I didnt need to replace it all... just...

    Well what got me saying that was they said I should screw the driver pins in deeper so they dont stick out as far, even though I said I had them flush as far as the threads go. But that brings up another point, they were thinking my problem was due to it being a QL tractor which they say is...

    Clutch question for my 1000. Its finally running after trashing the clutch with the first mowing last year! Its been a long project and the MWSC clutch took a lot more effort to put in than I thought. My question... I assume the throwout arm is suppose to be off the throwout bearing under...

    Thanks all for the help with the SS axle. I am using the bolt that came with it, I assume from the original tractor but IDK. I may try grinding the head down. My first thought was I did something wrong, but sounds like others had experienced this so no big deal to have to grind down the bolt...

    Wyatt C. - from the looks of it the bolt sticks out further out the other end, and a lock nut is deeper that the head of the bolt isnt it? I cant see how your way wouldnt make the problem worse, I'll have to take another look at it when I get in. Kraig - yeah maybe the grinder is a solution...

    Got my 1000 back running with the new mwsc clutch, thats been an experience. Since I had the tractor all apart I put on the super steer axle I had laying around waiting transplant for a while. Also slapped a creeper drive in there. Question on the super steer upgrade. I went to mount up the...

    Question for you guys. I am building a cart to pull behind the tractor, the poly dump carts just werent tough enough or big enough for hauling wood. I picked up a pair of 5x4.5 hub/spindles thinking I'd like to keep the trailer wheels the same as the cub wheels - a spare would work on both and I...

    Those are all pretty neat but way beyond my skills and abilities. Dan Weber - yeah a log arch is a possibility too. But the problem is I want some of the weight on the cub. The biggest issue with these 2wd cubs is traction, especially hauling weight on rough ground and uphill. I could save...

    Thanks Kraig, I did link to that same one in my post right before yours though so we are thinking in similar terms. I was actually part of that converstion though, thats were I decided the log skidder idea might actually work for what I want to do. Any issues with my current idea though...

    Dennis - I would love to have something like that but thats way out of my diy skills! And money! Thanks for the info Kraig, one that was not mentioned though (and I already had posted on it earlier) is https://www.ihcubcadet.com/cgi-bin/discus/discus.pl?pg=next&topic=106&page=219849 and the...
