    Jeff, after another look the throwout arm looks completely worn through in a couple spots. I am sure its toast too. I also dont even see the teaser spring that was mentioned earlier to be backwards in the diagram... it should be visible right? I need to take the whole thing apart to get a better...

    Well sort off. I just used an old creeper and set it down on it. Good enough for now. Oh and I dont know if the 1000 will get to run the tiller or not. I got the 129 back running good... ended up the timing was just way off. Motor seems like new again, but still a couple of things I got to...

    Today was an exciting day, rebuilt a broken dump trailer for the cub (more on that later), and was going to mow for the first time this spring. Greased everything up, mounted the 44A and mowed about 1/4 the yard and suddenly a bang and the clutch pedal dropped to the footrest, with the tractor...

    Ray... recognize this fine #2? Thats behind my 12hp, and I bet the gear drive 10HP has probably as much power to the tiller as a 12hp hydro but thats just a guess? In any case, we will find out sometime in the next month. Soil around here is fairly heavy clay but thats an old garden thats...

    Ray...its about that time of year again to get the tiller out ... if it would ever stop raining. However the 129 is still awaiting engine repair so I am going to try it out on my 1000. I have a creeper gear sitting on the shelf I am going to try and install soon. The garden soil is pretty good...

    Quick question regarding one of my MANY other cub projects this year I have a 1450 parts tractor that I plan on using to upgrade my other tractors, for one it has a hydro lift I want to put on my 129. I know the controls are different on the dash but at the hydro end the linkages and such are...

    I really think a log arch would work great for an ATV but most dont put a lot of weight on the toungue, most seem to take weight off. Some of those designs that hold the logs forward of the wheels may put some weight on the hitch, but then they impair turning I would think. And new they go for...

    Still thinking about the Logger Cub... and trying to decide on the next addition to the shed and have some questions. I know models and hyd/gd create quite a debate so hopefully you guys will have an open mind here. First thing, I am thinking of doing a lot of diy to this to mount a hoist...

    Matt... I figure The hub conversion will make the track wider and depending on the offset which I havent calculated out yet... a little reduction is steering is ok too. And that size isnt by any means set in stone it was just one example. So this is a radical increase in size... just exactly...

    Kent, thats one mean looking machine! Only suggestion I'd have is to throw some of the V61's on the fronts! ...or tri ribs And speaking of fronts & tri ribs... If I were to put a 5 lug front wheel hub conversion, and want to up the front tire size a little to match going from the 23"...

    Dennis, thanks for all the insight. As far as hill, trail, and wetness conditions well as you can figure they are quite variable. If your ever in the NE Ohio area stop in and check it out. Hard to describe how steep the hill is and its not very apparent in pictures either. I'll attach a pic, but...

    Sorry fellas I havent been on in a couple days but lots of good info, thanks! I'll try and respond to a few of the posts... Krag and Allen... yeah there are some good points about going all DIY. Some of the box store stuff now is worth about as much as the box it comes in LOL...

    Thanks for the trailer ideas guys! Allen - yeah I have noticed that about the box store 'carts'. Even though some are rated 1,000#+ they dont look very heavy duty at all. And that rating is more of an even load over smooth ground. You start going through the woods and across the field and up...

    Ed - that was a thought I had as well (but didnt mention in my lengthy post). I could do that, and when I design a new bed for it I could design it a bit more 'forward' to put more weight on the hitch, but I dont have a lot of room to play with, maybe a foot at the most. Not sure if its going to...

    I've said it before but my 1000 has been doing an excellent job in the woods hauling firewood. I can't say the same for the cr*ftsman dump cart, as seen below. The last two times out it developed two vertical cracks, one almost center of the front and the other on the corner on the right hand...

    This is a long shot but maybe you guys would like some new material to talk about... Anyone ever run a buzz saw off a cub? I'm guessing not since a search didnt turn up much but no harm in asking right? Perhaps make it drive off a tiller rear end gear box? Or adapted off a snowthrower front...

    Will B... Early bird gets the worm! I'm happy someone on here atleast got it. I just can't believe the one day (or actually 2 days for us) the power has been out in the last 3 years and a loader pops up on the local craigslist! I have bought all 3 of my cubs, plus all my implements... tiller...

    Will - was that the Kwik-way loader from the Columbus craigslist? I just now saw there was one posted on Feb1 but the posting is removed. If so I can't beleive I've been watching for a loader on craigslist - usually search for cub cadet stuff multiple times a day and missed it! You lucky dawg...

    Recent storms hit us pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as some others... Two nights of ice, the second night with high winds left branches scattered over the yards but nothing major and no damage except for some gutters getting ripped off the house. Driveway was solid ice, and over quite...
