Seth, here's a wiring diagram for starters, no pun intended.

Seth
Make sure the wires are connected to the correct terminals of the regulator. The blue wire goes on the GEN terminal, and the terminal must be marked as such. Just because it may have been on the "middle" terminal, etc. on the old regulator does not mean the after market regulator uses the "middle" terminal for the same purpose, so make sure the wires go on the correct terminal regardless of the "position".

Kraig,
No, sadly the conversions were not recorded, but Harold and I had talked about doing that some weekend at his farm in Indiana, and that never happened.....

Kraig:
Gotcha....thanks
The 129 is an April '73 build, sold in June.. The manual that I've got is Rev 3(7-72) and shows my style deck (with the half round "turf slicer" runners. But I've always wondered.....

BTW - wrong blades (too long) make themselves known and take care of themselves....(sparks and noise) if left on too long.

I think Kendell broke the forum...

 

[bbrigham]

Dennis...I will be going to a salvage yard a friend of mine owns..hopefully this weekend..maybe I'll find something of interest

Has anyone used any of the briggs or Honda repower engines on their cub. I have a 149 and a 582 that both need engine repair and I am thinking about going with one of the newer engines. The tractors are both worth the money but I don't want to spend if the engines ar not worth it.

Thanks Kraig the pictures of the spring assist were very helpful.

Jim B.-

I would just rebuild the original engines. That's cheaper than replacing the engines. Those Briggs and Honda V-twins will not have the torque of the K-series Kohler or the horizontally-opposed Briggs.

Kraig,
To add to the Harold Schramm legend I was standing in back of that last picture. That weekend I asked Harold at RPRU what he thought of red cub cadets and he replyed there never should of been any red cubs only yellow and white.

Two noobe questions. When ordering a decal like this (rear end) is the size stated the size of the entire decal or is it the size of the foreground? I have one painted over. But it is of the foreground ( IH ) without the white part. Was this someone being creative? I haven't seen any like it.

What would be the proper size for a 72 series? I know that was a third.

Greg:

I've been working on a mower to mow under a barb wire fence for several months. I got it far enough along this winter to try it out this spring. Seems like I have to make some changes everytime I use it, but it seems like it's going to save us a lot of work. The wife and I probably mow an eight mile of fence row with weedeaters. This thing has worked great on the areas of tried it on.

Mike, they're Firestones. Kendell thanks for the info on the pics. Next up:
