As I'm breaking down this 1200 I noticed that this tractor has the solid disc (r) and not the flexable disc (r). What's your opinion of using the solid disc instead of the flex discin a QL?? Looks like it's been working in this tractor just fine. The one in my 1600 is cracking.
Tom H: The flexible clutch disc in the QL Gear Drives is there for a purpose. It was designed to compensate for the engine vibrations allowed by the Iso-Mounts - all part of the "Quiet" in the design. Replacing the flexible disc with a solid one in a tractor with Iso-Mounts just means excessive wear of something else in the drive line. It all depends when & where you want to spend your money. BTW, AFAIK, IH never put those flexible drive discs in any Cub Cadet with a hp higher than 12... A 1600 ?? ... 16 hp may be your cracking problem, since the flexible discs weren't designed for that much hp...... I can break anythng with a big enough hammer.

Tom,
That flex disc will crack behind a 8hp if the ISO mounts are worn, but if you want to use a solid driver then at least replace the ISO mounts with solid mounts to help keep the engine from moving.
There are two versions of the flex disc, the one like you posted that uses a seperate hub and bearing for the driveshaft to fit in, and one that has the bearing made into the disc. The latter type is about $175. It can be replaced with the type you posted, if you also buy the hub w/bearing to go with it, but then the cost of those two items will also be about $175. The solid disc and solid mounts are probably better, but as Myron said, then you are probably going to get wear/damage someplace else.

Hi Guys,
I just had to replace the voltage regulator on my 123 that I bought brand new last June. It didn't get much use but apparently one of the coils failed. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an easy fix if it ever happens again?

STEVE B. - Another good NEW tire to recommend for moldboard plowing is the new 23-10.50 FIRESTONE 23 Deg. Miller Tire is the ONLY source, but a pic I saw the other day looks like it has the same high lug count as the 8.50 but two inches wider.
With the late summer 2010 availability not too many were around for use at fall plow days but I suspect if the performance is anything like the 23-8.50's they'll work great.
DANIEL - Plus with 23-10.50's they'll go right on your existing rear wheels. I run Firestones on both my mowing tractors. The extra traction comes in real handy on slopes & around ditches.
GLENN P. - re F&F IH red, I've heard some not good things regarding F&F's red paints, fading & lossof gloss over time. Might not be a problem with a garage kept tractor, or if a hardener was used. For the small amount of paint needed for a CC, especially a red one I'd use C/IH 2150. And if you have the equipment available to paint with using hardeners I would use them. They make the paint flow out and shine MUCH better. But you need either supplied air masks or a really good activated carbon canister respirator. Don;t even think a surgical mask will do, serious lung problems WILL result.

Okay the guy I bought my parts 125 off of has in his garage a 68 105 in great/restored shape. He would sell but had to tell him if I looked at it more than twice I would be in divorce court Monday. Sweet tractor first restored one I have been close up to.
Does anyone know off the top of their head what the thread size is for the lug bolts on a 125? I want to clean the threads out before putting tires back on. I do not have a tap that big and am going to get one. Thanks Tim
Paul/Myron,
Thanks for the info. That's what I remember too. That flex 3 pin disc is the week link in my book. Solid mounting of a 16hp in the 169 seemed to work out pretty well so I think I'm going with the solid mount this spring when I retire my Dad's 1600 into a trailer queen. Do any of our sponcers sell the solid mounts?

Our sponsors are smarter than to sell something that doesn't work for the everyday working machines!

The Valspar IH white isn't the correct shade of white for an Original. It is closer to the 935 white. You need 901. If you want correct, you'll need to have auto paint mixed.
