Charlie,

The flat top tire trend is catching on!

Marty-yikes that's the way my 1450s look right now

And yet, they look better than this plowing snow in reverse!

Bill J., the 70/100, the 71, 72 and 73 all had the <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT> logo decal on the back of the seat spring. The Original however did not have the <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT> logo decal.

Ok, we're done with the fronts, LOL
Match this!

I really didn't have to much leftover.

I've seen a lot of stuff in my day, but I can't say I've ever seen a compression fitting on a battery cable!
Which after I had it running for about 15 minutes, it died and I had no power anywhere.
So I checked at the battery connection, good there.
Checked at the solenoid and NOTHING.
Wiggled the battery cable and power came back to the solenoid, LOL

So after everything else was done, including removing the extra Hobbs hour meter.
I had to fix the hood ornament for Kraig.

Ok, someone try posting a pic.
I turned things up to 250 KB, but left the 800x600.

Lets see how it goes.

We kept a stock of those compression battery terminals for quick fixes on our plow trucks. During breaks in the weather we would either replace the cables or crimp and solder new ends on.

The first steering wheel decal was on the 100 and was an IH decal

Charlie, sweet!

Good looking 100.
My 100 was built the last day of June(89452.

Kraig M. Charlie must really like you to get the 125 running in time for your birthday.

David S. Any updates on your 104?

I wish that I'd kept one of the three 100s I've owned over the years. One had a rear pto. All three had good engines, tires and were ready to go.

 

[dschwandt]

Marlin, Driveshaft, clutch & rear end are installed...film at eleven...

Charlie,

The last time I wiggled a battery cable it blew up in my face!

Blew my ball cap 30 feet!
Thankfully, I still can see out of both eyes.

Nice front tires!

You've got me on the sickly tires contest.
All I could come up with is this:

Real nice lineup Dale!

Paul,

I took this cap off of a 100.
When did these come along?

 

[snicklas]

Marty,

I know that our 124 had that center cap decal. Not sure in the 1x2/3 had that one, but the 1x4/5 had it....

 

[danderson]

That's the one my 122 has.

 

[mgwin]

So these caps were not put on the later 100's?
I know the early 100 had a steering wheel like the "O".

 

[ekincaid]

Same steering wheel cap on my 125

 

[pbell]

Marty,
The clear plastic cap was used on the 100, 1x2/3,1x4/5 etc., but the decal in the cap was different depending on the model. The 100 decal was the IH. The 1x2/3, 1x4/5 used the "starburst" decal like you posted a picture of. The plastic cap it self was the same on all models that used that type cap, just different decals.

Caps with one of my variation ideas.
