Jack-
I can be done, but you're going to either need the engine block with the tapped holes in the front of the block, or be equipped to tap holes in the front for the pto mounts.

Alright, alright, i know I've asked this alot, but i cant find the specs for the valve guides(clearance in the block, etc) anywhere, and yes i checked the FAQ and the manuals there, but nothing on the valve guides, however they did tell me everything about the valves... go figure. Thanks

Art - We know you can be done ...

Steve - Have you no shame

Matt - I think your 8:09 answer was satisfactory

Well today was marked as "cub day", my wife left a "honey do list" before she left with her mother to go shopping today(I.E. spend the cub money). I did manage to get the fenders sandblasted and primed though. I don't like to work on Sunday, but, progress must and will be made!!!

I almost bought a john deere sulky to pull behind either cub.....just so I could say, "as always, an IH pulling a john deere". but the guy would'nt break it down and ship it, and I wasn't going to Philly to pick the crazy thing up. think it would of been a kick though! sure was a short summer, must be time to get the snow blower ready again.......MAN, time flies!!!!!!!!!

yeah I have been looking but havent found any new. I think they are a great looking tire. I am gonna keep an eye out for some used ones i just bought some old front tires that have just the straight lines in them

Mike C. I would have gone on a road trip to Philadelphia with you.

One of us could scout for more Cubs while the other drove.

Yesterday, Fancy and I cleaned up the flower beds around the house and picked up the fallen branches on the lawn. While doing so he found a baby bunny that he was going to present to Angel to take care of in lieu of baby kittens. We used Clarence and the cart. That is sure a lot handier than driving the Dakota around the yard.

This afternoon Mike C. and I are going to go check on some off topic garden tractors and on a lawn that we'll be mowing for my buddy that is back in the hospital with colon/liver cancer.

OK Steve you got me on the $300 "Cheap ride", but those things were still one ugly a$$ looking cars!

p.s. I like the tach on the floor mount.

Hey Guys, I have a 59M and I don't have a belt tensioner like it shows in the manual... did the earlier versions of the 59M have a different setup?

Also, where can a guy find out what size belts go on this thing?

FYI,
Buck Brothers annual turf auction is this Sunday in Hampshire, Illinois. Here's a good chance to get that diesel for the project you're working on!!

The rather short-lived deck idler pulleys fail from a lack of lubrication. Over time, grease eventually gets past the seals causing bearing to self destruct. Here is an idea for keeping these bearings lubricated and extending their life tenfold. A livestock siringe was purchased from Fleet-Farm (used for giving cows shots). Loaded with a small amount of grease, it becomes a perfect grease gun for packing these bearings. A bit of gentle prodding to get the needle under the oil seal and a push on the plunger is all it takes. Not much grease is necessary to keep these bearings happy.

David - Whenever your pics show up That works good for those non-greaseable tie rod ends too. I use to do our 2675 MF that way back in the early 80's since they were over a "C note" a pop.

1980's guys ... NOT 1880's !!

 

[mchessor]
