Digger well said,yes thank you Kraig for all you do for those of who don’t know there a$$ from there elbows when it comes this posting game LOL.A little while ago while I was poking around with my maintenance stuff the front pto pressure plate fell off LOL looks like the spring washer and snap clip must have rotted off or something and when I turn the engine over it dropped off,I’m just glad it held out long enough to get the tractor home,seeing how it drove up on the trailer.
 
Ethan,

You mentioned some housekeeping completed on your 149.
Did you check the hydraulic fluid? Just thought I would mention it.

Marty- yes I did I changed the hydro fluid along with the motor oil.David yes I did it’s in the pile of stuff in the picture
 
Ethan, nice find!
Well went to use the 100 today, but the battery just didn't have it. Popped the charger on, haven't had any issues with the battery for 5 years, and tried again after a bit but no go. I switch this battery between units so I don't have problems with them sitting. Not bad for farm and fleet battery really. Just bad timing for me. Had to shovel by hand! Something to be said for Steve B suggestion on a maintainer. Other batteries have only lasted 2-3 years previously
 
Well I guess we just have to be happy with our five Super Bowl rings LOL
 
Ah....what a great game huh guys.

It's nice to see my son getting older and wanting to clear the snow with the 100 now. I was worried that he wasn't gonna have too much interest in our Cub Cadets.

Here he is a couple hours before the game started.

Shultzie - hey that was one of the best SB's. How old is your son? Looks like he's doing a nice job there.

Snow blower and maintenance for 129
A while back I saw a statement that some one had put a piece of cardboard in front of the grill on there CC to keep the heat from blower chute.
Any comments on that?
Also just curious, how often does anyone check or change points in their CC.
Thanks for any comments

Not much point in cardboard when the exhaust goes out the side. ;-)

Do the points at the first sign of rough idle or spittin, LOL
 
Cardboard keeps the engine cooling heat off of the chute......not a big help, but it does make a little difference if you can keep everything cool on the chute rotator
 
30 deg wet heavy snow....it helps.....otherwise, minor benefit, agreed
 
Just in from blowing snow (4" snow, 5 deg outside) and after 2 hours of 782 engine heat the thrower was an ice cake, as was the hood......that heat does warm everything up!..... I have the exhaust turned out to the side, so it's mostly engine and muffler heat....
 
Caleb and I were out last night for about 3 hours
we got almost a foot here in Keota
That's the most in one shot that I can remember
Running 2 machines last nite at 48 inches a past was a Blast
and nothing like a cab with heat to make the nite even better
