The next time you have to fix a flat Cub tire and complain about it, think of this! CLICK HERE

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the place,
Not a tractor was stirring, not even a Case.

QA42A, all snug in his shed....
Thoughts of NOS skid shoes danced through his head.....
along with dreams of one day beating a 450's throw,
if he ever got his speed-up pulley from the FEDEX guy he knows.

Damn. That's a tire repair.

Somebody quick, get that tire repairman a cold one; he deserves it! He makes it look easy but I'd bet that process wears on the shoulders and arms pretty good. But I s'pose much better than paying for a new tire. Anything beats working on manure spreader tires or the GT tires of dog owners, I can vouch for that fact, lol

Okay, you guys asked for it....

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the place,
Not a tractor was stirring, not even a Case.

The weights were all hung on the 100 with care,
with hopes that a blizzard would soon fill the air.
Plugged into the charger, tucked away in the shed,
fearing the battery would again end up dead.

And I in my Carhartts and real raccoon hat,
had parked at my laptop to study the maps.
The picture was grim no blue to be found,
Another day of staring at that ugly brown ground.

But wait as I zoom out what do I see,
The Dakotas covered in the blue, my hands clap with glee.
Snow it was promised, and up to my knees
Oh don’t miss me again lord, I cried and I plea.

I looked out the window and sure enough snow!
I couldn’t see the road, it had started to blow.
I held my excitement to let it get good and deep,
There would be plowing tonight, why bother to sleep.

As I gathered my gear I heard a loud pop,
Something was broken and had rolled to a stop.
A torrent of cursing was coming from near,
My neighbor was livid, he had broken his Deere.

I leap into action, the Cadet fired right up,
I blazed down the driveway without getting stuck.
The snow is so deep, I know what I need,
I increase the throttle for Blunier Ramming Speed!

The snow flew off the blade as I giggled and smiled,
With the neighbor broken down, I would be at this a while.
Little attention was paid to what I was doing,
I am a pro after all, but who was I fooling.

Hidden well below, a chunk of concrete,
the blade didn’t trip as I exited the seat.
Into the wheel went my gut and knocked out my breath,
I slammed back to the seat half scared to death.

I decreased the throttle and at my neighbor did glace,
He just stared at his Deere in some kind of trance.
I put the Cub in the shed and hit the fridge for a Lite.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Been a while since I have posted anything but need a little help. Will an original snow blade mount to a 72 without major modifications? Thanks!!

Sean C.
The only issue I can think of would be the lift part.
The Original lift rod is under the tractor where the 72 is on the outside, but I think it would be doable.

 

[scorder]

Thanks i will definitely try havent had a chance to looks things over. Picked it up cheap

Charlie-
Ditto on deployed!

 

[mgwin]

Merry Christmas everyone!

I second what Charlie says. We owe the soldiers a lot for fighting for us.

Where is that nice pic of Santa and his cubs?

Jason Wiggins,
You haven't posted lately, are you still decorating?

I can't remember, so I will ask.
What size are the ags you put on your tractor? Are they 23-10.50x12?
Also, what size are the rims? Are they the ones you modified?
The reason I am asking, I am working up a late Christmas/early birthday list.

Marty..... Since it's already Christmas on the other side of the globe, we got a picture..

Merry Christmas to everyone on the best Forum on the 'net.

 

[kide]

Almost 12 hours?? ... you gotta be kidding.... I broke the forum on Christmas Eve????

 

[eford]

I infinity back the Merry Christmas to ALL! I'm hoping to catch my buddy up here who was in the Navy, have a safe and happy day!!

 

[mfrade]

Mike and Chris wish a very Merry Christmas to all the members here. Keeping Bryan M. in our thoughts as well....

 

[mconway]

Merry Christmas Cubbers......

 

[lhinds]

Merry Christmas to everyone here, and to all the military and emergency personnel, Merry Christmas and THANK YOU.

For my own curiosity and bleeding over from Mike's 169 thread, do all compression release engines share the same parts for it? I've rebuilt a couple engines, Briggs and Kohler, but they didn't have it. I'm not sure of how it exactly works on the Cubs that have it.

 

[fcurrier]

That's a good question, Earl. (a politician's phrase that means my brain needs a moment to process an answer). The compression release on these old one lung Kohlers keeps the exhaust valve from closing completely until the engine is turning to about 600 RPM. Next?

 

[eford]

I wish I still had the engine I got from a 122. PO drilled and tapped the head putting pipe and a valve in, gate valve. Weirdest thing I ever saw. I wondered how the real compression release worked, thanks Frank!
