I think I'll have to get one of those small tire changers for doing Cub tires. Sure would beat the screwdriver method.
Here's the latest addition to the stable. I'm behind schedule on the 126 rebuild, so I had to get something to handle mowing duties short-term. It's a 102 with a knock in the engine. I'm going to swap in a K301, add a creeper, and put it to work until the 126 is finished. Jerry

I bought that exact same tire changer last year... you all must have more skill and patience than I do. After I sufficiently destroyed 1 rim and bent the handle of the the thing (the one with the ball on the end) I think I commenced beating it on my sawhorses, cinder blocks, and maybe a close by tree.
Well going to get ready to get the 129 and blade out... the storm dropped about a foot here they say. Its hard to tell since it was so windy half the yard has grass showing, the other half is drifted to my knees or more. I wish I had a cab with this wind... guess I'll dig out my skiing goggles and bundle up! For next year think I will try and build a DIY cab.

JERRY - I grew up fixing tires on the farm. Just a good pair of tire "Spoons" helps a whole lot compared to a couple screwdrivers. Problem with CC tires is they're so small in dia. it's tough to keep them firmly planted on the floor while working the tire bead off/on the rim.
DAD made me a bead breaker years ago I use on CC fronts but nothing else.
I feel sorry for the Guy who has to R&R the tires on the back of my Super H some day. (will NOT be me!) Tires have been mounted for about 40-41 yrs now, with fluid. I'm positive the tires & tubes are rusted to the rim. Dad & I mounted them in '69 or '70. Took a DAY to R&R each tire with the 50 gal. of fluid/tire.

Hi all, new to forum. Almost done refurbishing a 100 that I mowed grass with as a kid. It was unplanned so no before pics.
Not sure where the wire harness clip goes on the right side, and exactly how the harness is routed there. Is the clip bolted to the engine or s/g. I've looked at manuals and lots of pics, but not sure. Pics would be appreciated if available. Thanks.

If you will click the Parts Lookup Button Above and enter in either 70 or 100 for the model number, you will find diagrams on everything related to them, including where to put the clips.

I ventured out with my 129/QA-42A to clear the driveway I had to deal with 2 feet of snow and 3 foot drifts, and the snow was heavy and wet. I only made it 30 or 40 feet before I gave up, after unplugging the chute at least a dozen times, and getting stuck a couple of more times. I had painted the chute, impeller, and inside housing with EZ Slide a couple of years ago. hoping colder temperatures will improve my luck, but this is the biggest storm yet I've had to deal with.

I feel for everyone that is getting clobbered by the snowstorm. Hang in there though... Spring is somewhere in the future.
Dennis F. It'll be strange having narrow tires on the 125. The last tractor that had the 6x12s on it was the 105 that the ex-girlfriend and I bought. With chains on it and a snowthrower on the front that little Cub Cadet would go through quite a bit of snow. At times I wish I had that tractor. I paid cash for my half and she had the cancelled check. Good news is I will have Ag tires for on the 782D, Keepsake 1650, and the 125. The ones for the K1650 are the old Goodyear 23x10.50x12. I'm in the process of cleaning/painting a set of rims. Two new tubes and then it will be set.
Tristan S. After you beat the poor tire changer to death I'll bet that it still didn't work. I have one like the top one in Charlie's post. It just takes getting used to. Like Dennis Frisk, I used to change tires and fix flat tires on farm machinery as a kid. From time to time a car tire. Maybe that is where I learned some of the patience when working with tires (AND other things). It's similar to throwing things when one gets mad. After you get over being mad.... you gotta go pick up what you've thrown in anger. Kinda defeats the purpose. I've had more than one person ask me how I can be so patient when working on something. I tell them that if I start to get frustrated then I talk to what I am working on and ask it to tell me what I am not seeing. By doing that I am then slowing down and paying closer attention to just what I am doing. Thus the same as when I am having a oonversation with someone. Try it sometime. It may take practice only it does work.
Roger D. Wood as a spacer is definitely a no-no. The PO of my latest MF10 used wood to gain height on the seat and it looks...

Marlin... that was sort of a joke about beating up stuff with the tire changer. However I really did come to my wits end there, and did destroy the rim (while trying to use the changer, not in anger). I think just trying to figure out how to use by myself for the first time just didnt go to well. I usually am a very patient person, and since we just had our year end reviews at work, my lead says my greatest asset is my patience and ability to calm and diffuse tense situations at work! lol
Ok well just spent 2-3 hours outside this evening and still not done with the snow removal. Boy I wish I had a blower today! I had to dig a trench with the shovel through about waist high drift across the front of the garage just to get the 129 out. The snow was just too deep, it was a good half hour of fighting with it till I had a spot big enough that I could even maneuver. Once I that spot big enough, then I was golden. But it did take a very long time when dealing with alot of snow that was twice as high as the blade was!
^The drift through the driveway and across the garage and my 4yr old son^
^Action shot^
^Action shot #2^
^Posing in the driveway where the snow was over the fenders^
All done for the night, resting up for some more work tomorrow.

There should be some good "ramming speed" action photos with all that snow. Usually getting the first full pass done is the worst - after that you can pick off as much or as little as the tractor can handle on each pass..
BTW- just got back from a 60 mile ride on the 1100 - we had to wear full leathers as the temp was in the high 50's when we headed back home - it's just plain way too cold here!!
Dennis:
Two hand made spoons (tire irons heated and flattened) and a '65 Impala bumper jack with the base welded on (braced UNDER the work bench that's bolted to the floor) to break the beads down with - none of those fancy-shmancy Northern Tool tire machines here!!
BTW - I used to throw a tool around once in a while, 'till I made a perfect three corner billiards shot with a ball-pein and put a bone chip in my left shin.. haven't thrown tools in 30 some years.

Jerry-
Narrow Frame Hydro Lever removal: Try using a chunk of a 2X4 and a BFH to remove that lever. Put the 2X4 flat ontop of the "hub" of the hydro lever, then smack the 2X4 with the BFH. Yes, it seems like you're actually beating the lever ON further, but the shaft is not tapered, so you're goal is to loosen the bond between the steel shaft and pot-metal lever. Once you get the lever to "move" on the shaft it will wiggle off.

Hi Guys,
Could someone explain how to install the lower clutch shield plate on a narrow frame?
These notched rectangular plates have four corner oval shaped holes that appear to be for bolting them to the frame, but none of my frames have holes on their under sides for this ... Any insight would be appreciated.

Tristan the photos are great
You need a headlites set up for that, I have them on my 128 and plowing at night is just plain fun.
A good tip is to keep pushing it back even after the storm , because if you get more the drive gets narrow.
