    One more question about the tiller front drive parts... I was pulling off the belt last night and realized it seemed a little bigger than my mower belt so I put em side by side. Looks to be a 1/2" belt for the tiller and much larger on the smaller inner flat side too. My deck belt is 3/8" I...

    Ok let me make sure I got this correct now. For the tiller I need straight pulleys, and since no one answered with any sources and the sponsors dont seem to carry them I take it I wont be able to just swap the pulleys I'll need the whole front drive. So I need to get a wide frame mule drive from...

    Matt, or anyone... do you know were I can get these pulley replacements? I checked out ccspecialties and didnt really see much any mule drive parts at all. Hmmm even if I could find them by the time I think I would get em its going to be getting too late... boy this is going to be...

    Ok need some expert advice here. Actually this is going to probably sound silly. Is there a 'method' for tightening the tension on a tiller belt? I got the #2 all mounted up on the 129. I hooked the eye bolt up to the pulley that has the spring tensioner. I've tried from barely cranking the...

    Well, thought I had a chance to get a nice hydraulic tractor finally... There was an auction with a 1650 and snow blade. It was rainy and there was another local auction so I thought my chances were good. When I see it in person I realized it had front hydraulic ports with dual controls (I didnt...

    Lucas... how good are the brakes on it? Folks here always say cubs can pull a lot more than they can stop... My 6x10 trailer weighs about 1500# and I probably had it loaded up to about 2250-2500# and both my 10 horse 1000 and 12 horse 129 pulled it ok but you got to be really carefull with even...

    Jeff... I think I recall seeing a pic before of your mule drive with a bolt in the tensioner. Thinking about it... the thing I'd worry is getting it right since I have no experience with setting up the tiller I'd be afraid to start drilling holes in it. How bout vice grip tensioner? Or is that...

    Tiller question... was hoping to get the new to me #2 tiller going soon since its getting past due for putting the garden in. Anyhow, I remember reading here about having to switch out the tensioner on the mule drive (I have WF) to a bolt. Well I was reading through the manual and was suprised...

    Looking for some recommendations - going to look at a 1450 soon and the guy says its been sitting for four years. I'd really like to see if it will run as I dont really want a project tractor right now (well I would like a project tractor just no time right now and money is tight). What all...

    I can't speak of how common the IH box blades are (I have yet to see one for sale locally) but there are other available sleeve hitch and cat0 box blades out there like agri-fab and Howse FWIW.

    Does anyone have the dimensions for the parts for the helper spring assembly? I have a spring but no other parts. Would like to fab something up if I can. But since I dont have one handy I was hoping someone could take some measurements for me or point me in the right direction if someone has...

    Kraig, I think you got it there... the whole assembly is in bassackwards. I didnt know there was actually a manual for the lift! The grease fitting is at the rear of the tractor... funny thing is when I bought the lift it came assembled that way and I never thought anything of it. It bolted...

    Come to think of it, it might only be my firefox machine that has the random pic dropping issue... I'll try to confirm that shortly. Too bad, Firefox used to be a great browser. I'll look into the breather suggestions you guys had. In the mean time nothing I can possibly do seems to let me...

    Well my 129 is giving me fits again. Engine starts smoking out the dipstick and loosing power. Today was going to be plow day and I got the garden 1/3 done before it started acting up. So I said screw it and start taking off the rear lift and putting it on my 1000. My Question: Ran into a...

    Got a lot of work done last weekend including the long overdue first mow and the families get-a-way house were I hunt and get firewood, etc. I help out were I can and my brother in law who normally mows it has a broken down mower. Had the deck stacked against me though - extra high grass - steep...

    Ok guys, y'all remember my screwdriver issue with my rear lift right? Well I really wanted to try anything I could before I started cutting things out so I tried the slide hammer idea and after maybe 30-45 minutes I had it out! So thankfully that incident is dealt with. And I'll leave...
