    I am toying with the idea of making a more dedicated 'logging' cub. Was wondering what yours all thought were. So far I haul out rounds in a wagon but there are a couple advantages for hauling out whole logs. For one, I am going to try some milling, and or making things out of logs, and two, to...

    If you all remember a few weeks ago I tried to install my new mwsc clutch and it came up short. After a couple of phone calls they are saying someone grabbed a narrow frame driveshaft instead of a QL one. Before they go through the process of shipping me another one I wanted to double check what...

    Perhaps Charlie, but I would have thought MWSC would have known what they were doing too... But I wont say anything bad about em until I see what they say on the phone. Still working on my gosh darn (paraphrased) ball joints and tie rods on the truck. Just got back from my 8th trip to the parts...

    Matt, so when you push the pedal its pushing the driveshaft back gotcha. And no, motor has never been out since I have owned it. All the mounts look fairly new and tight and no rattles or anything. Well sounds like I got to give the folks at MWSC a call and see if they can make it right...

    Charlie my stock shaft does match that. Just went out to the garage to take some actual measurements. Set the shafts parallel to my one square on the floor butted up against the wall and set my other square to come straight up 90* to get the position. Stock shaft was ~19 1/8, the scribe mark...

    Matt dont judge anything other than the position of the holes in the driveshaft on the old clutch, its toast and mostly loose. The throwout is entangled with the first couple broken turns of the spring... its just loose and flopping around now: <blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font...

    Here is another pic. Getting really frustrated this week nothing is going right for me. Spent the last 4 days and 6 trips to the parts store working on ball joints for my F150... got to go back in the morning too. Then I couldnt get the spirol pin to put the creeper on, lots of pins 1" and...

    Finally got all my parts together for the new clutch & creeper for my 1000. Well I got everything together and I dont think its right. For one thing it looks like the drive pins are barely in the clutch disk. Also, I wasnt sure what that ball bearing in the back rag joint was for but after...

    Dennis - mowing leaves is on my list too, but probably wont get to it until the weekend. Got to clean gutters, replace ball joints, and do some oil changes today (on the trucks, that is). One problem I have with the mower deck is it just doesnt go high enough. Anyone else notice that? When I...

    Wayne - I didnt have em on yet in the pic but I do have some small weights on the 1000, those plastic cement things. Still waiting to come across some real weights. Tires are also filled. On the flats I pull my 3500# 6x10 road trailer filled with wood no prob. On the hills in the woods even that...

    Lonnie, thanks for the pics. I know I have seen a few of them before. That top one (the 100) looks really farm tractor-esque. And even though I have never had a narrow frame one of my fav's has to be the 1x2/3's like your third pic down (does that say 107 on the side?) reminds me of the ford N...

    Rick - Yeah, it was pretty much a total loss. Another reason I just went ahead and got the whole pre assembled mwsc kit. If I can just get the thing installed... first time I've ever messed with a clutch before. Matt G- I see, so the ball bearing supports the assembly horizontally. I hope the...

    Putting a creeper and my new clutch in the 1000 today. Is that ball that went in the back joint necessary? It looks like the old shaft had a hemispherical ground end for the ball, and the stub shaft out of the tranny had a slight one too. But neither end of the new ones do, the creeper shaft is...

    Glen, seen some of your pics before, thats a great looking machine! I plan on doing very similar but going with red with the white strip. What is your grill and light surround made out of?

    Donald, That trailer is only used for around the house on smooth ground, and does it with ease. I would never take that into the woods, I dont think there is any way the cub could pull that trailer in the woods. The trailer I am talking about building will be more on the lines of 3.5'x5' or...

    Dennis, Rick, I don't plan on pulling my cub or anything like that, but dragging logs uphill might be in my future. However for my log skidder project I plan on using a hydro. And that might be well more than a year into the future as I'll probably do a frame off resto and well I have a lot of...

    I'll soon be installing a creeper on my 1000. Do I need a gasket or will RTV silicone stuff suffice? And speaking of a hydro-creeper, can the linkages on a hydro be adjusted for less speed but a wider low range? I'm going to be setting up an extra 129 for a dedicated logger hauling firewood...
