    Cub Cadet 122 Mower deck, Hydraulic Lift, Rear 90 degree Belt PTO for sale Bend Oregon 97702

    Good luck with your build projects! Hopefully you have some of the steel or access to some scrap metal. I just priced materials for a backhoe build and it seems steel went up 20% since July when I built my loader.

    Cadplan loader for 1512

    Wrapping up new tool for the loader. Checked through my metal supply and found enough material for a grapple. Had to purchase a hydraulic cylinder and hoses. The grapple connects to the front hydraulic ports on the tractor. Needs to be painted and a couple hose holders added. Test run...

    3rd hour meter installed! Teach me to buy the really cheap hour meter. 1st arrived dead/non working. Company replaced it free but 2nd lasted a few tenths of an hour then died. Ordered another brand but USA made! I know a digital hour meter on a 50 year old tractor may bother some people but...

    Hopefully this isn’t a indication of how 2021 will go! Still waiting on steering shaft but figured I could put my extra steering column in from my 782. After a few minutes steering column in and hood attached. Finally able to actually drive the tractor! First test run off to check the...

    Seems that many of the small parts have been missing on this tractor. Looking at the online parts look up it is a little tough to figure out exact bolt specs. Does anyone have any suggestions on bolts to mount the hood?

    Thank Matt! I will give the engine alignment a try. I have not lubed the 3 driver pins. I did clean them up with a scotch bright pad before assembly. I did replaced the driver plate bushing.

    Successful day! Tractor moved under it's own power today! This is the first time I have ever seen it move on it’s own. In and out of the garage! Tough to control without a steering setup 🤪 so my trip was short. New items to address. 1) adjust clutch/brake - I have to really push the...

    Clutch setup back together! Parts from CCSPECIALTIES and Midwest Super Cub. Still waiting on replacement steering shaft. USPS is killing me with shipping delays around the holiday.

    Starter engagement issues

    Is there a chance the bolts are the wrong size? Would smaller bolts give enough play that the starter shift?

    1512 hauling firewood

    While the 104 has been difficult I did get to spend some quality time with the 1512 over the weekend. There were multiple blow downs and damaged trees I needed to add to my firewood supply. None of these are huge trees but they still burn and at most need to be split once! typical load for...

    Thanks Charlie, In the end I didn’t go with Jensales plates as I couldn’t find any reviews. I ordered pressure plates and a driveshaft from MidWest Supercub. They haven’t arrived yet. We will see how they hold up over time.
