    But they left their DOGS

    If you can convert it to a PDF it might work a bit better, I am finding that less and less folks have Microsoft Word installed on their computers, so it's not as "portable" of a format for passing around information anymore.

    But they left their DOGS

    Thanks for sharing! I'll be checking these links out over lunch. Glad someone knew the real story behind the photo (y)

    But they left their DOGS

    A politician sharing false information, and blaming the current political administration; seems at least a little political to me.. Am I on Facebook here? I thought I deleted that account!? :LOL:

    Parts Wanted Kohler K-Series Flywheel Pulley w/Clutch Drive Plate

    IH Part Numbers: PN/ IH-385290-R1 USE KH-231591 My 147 has a pretty loose flywheel pulley. I did see a NOS item for $160 but I'm hoping to spend a good deal less than that for something in a little better shape than what I've got.

    147 Project

    Got the PTO and flywheel pulley off. The PTO is all there, and in seemingly decent condition. The flywheel pulley (and crankshaft keyway) are a bit beat up though. Some googling led me to a Loctite brand product that might help with the keyway slop, but the loose flywheel really needs to be...

    147 Project

    I did not make it down, but I did spend this past Saturday at the Nowthen Threshing Show which is about 20 minutes from me. There were a handful of old cubs, but I never caught the owners to chat. My son really did enjoy it, I hope to bring my tractors to that show next year, and continue to...

    147 Project

    I've still not gotten around to fixing/replacing that tie rod, which is funny because it is probably one of the easier fixes that this tractor needed when I got it. Anyway, I have gotten some other things done recently: Ignition switch replaced Lights (& partial ignition) rewired Electric lift...

    LEST WE FORGET

    Wow do I feel foolish... I googled the book to order a copy only to recognize the cover. Not only do I own the book but I actually have read it. New plan: 1. re-read the book 2. re-watch the series

    LEST WE FORGET

    I must admit that I had forgotten it was a book, thanks for the reminder I am going to order a copy (y)

    "Beginner" Machinist Tool Set

    Glad to see this thread pick back up! Probably due for some updates on my part as well... I've since moved to my new property with a larger garage, which I have the 3rd stall of as my work area. It's not big but it's what I got for now. A pole shed is in the plans, but that's probably a couple...

    LEST WE FORGET

    I remember watching Band of Brothers after reading a debate online about what the best television series of all time was. I was only one or two episodes into streaming it from HBO when I went and bought the complete box series knowing it was a collection I wanted to own. Seeing the interviews...

    Zero Turn Trash Picker-Upper

    On my Hustler, pushing the control bars out is the [only] way to set the parking brake, I believe. It is slightly annoying when it's stored in my shed and I want some extra space on the side to lean stuff against the wall. This is really not a big deal, but if I had to pick something to...

    wanted: old chainsaws and/or old axe heads

    Like the title says, I’m looking for old chainsaws or axe heads. Especially homelite or mcculloch saws. Just looking for some stuff to tinker with and to deal with some firewood. Located in MN, northwest suburbs of the twin cities.

    Narrow Frame mower deck

    I might just take you up on that! I did track down a cast end deck that cuts well, but I need to make up something for my Peco Lawn Vac, the stamped end deck didn't quite "cut" it this year.

    Work begins on 104

    Mine has not yet met the 3lb sledge, that might be my next option when I get the urge to try and rip it off.

    Cub Cadet Model 128

    My first thought was that it was some sort of "kill switch" to prevent unauthorized folks from driving the tractor. I might be (probably am) putting too much faith in people having good reasons for doing things though :LOL:

    Work begins on 104

    I can relate, I still have not gotten the steering wheel off my 107. I've tried the knees, built a puller plate like you did, used an air chisel & hammer against the backed off nut. Nothing has gotten it to budge even a little bit. I have come up with a theory that a previous owner used JB weld...

    Peco lawn vac

    I do appreciate the advice, and I was definitely apprehensive and very cautious while using the vac. Ultimately I took the risk and am fortunate that nothing went wrong. I will most likely order a new impeller for next year, as well as some longer lengths of hose to allow this to be used on a...

    Peco lawn vac

    I got to put the Peco Vac to work this fall! I did not get a new impeller, after inspecting mine it seems to have solid welds (though they are a bit ugly), and it seems pretty well balanced. I cautiously let it run for a while and fed some chunks of sloppy wet leaves through and it held solid...

    My first Cub Cadet is home!

    You can get an AGM battery in the U1 group size from most any batteries plus. They're generally deep cycle style for mobility scooters, or at least they used to be when I worked at batteries plus years ago. That said, I bet it would have decent cranking power.
