Kraig, Snowplows are good when you have a gravel driveways and when you find 3 inch rocks in your driveway that you dont know how they got there when you are using yor snowblower. That happend last nite actually. Champion plugs made today are sh*t so i got with NGKs and Bosch plugs...be carefull not to strip the threads in the head. NGKs all the way!

In case I got missed can anyone measure their hydro release lever on a wide frame I need one and would like to try to make one before spending $$

Jeff B.
You actually want someone to measure this thing out?
Do you have the dies and benders to make one?

 

[jbaker]

Alright point taken charlie, no i dont have dies just kinda handy and thought i would give it a try as money is real tight right now

Jeff B,

Those hydro release arms that that Charlie and some of the other forum sponsors sell are made of much thicker steel than the original arms that IH made. They will never break or cause problems for you again and are worth money. On 1X9 series and early Quietlines they have the curvy hump design to clear the relief valve in front of the two dump valves. IH used a thin spring steel for the arm that would fatigue and break with use and of course since it was "springy", people thought that if you pull up on it harder, the hydro would be easier to push but that is not true. The arms are no longer available through Cub Cadet and their solution to a broken dump valve arm is to replace the manual dump valves with the later automatic dump valves that will set you back a lot more then $20.

KENDELL, KRAIG - Not to be "difficult", but: Hy-Tran; GD; Paper weights; 108 Octane Race Gas/Prem. mix; I always thought a 1X6 would be a neat tractor, same stylish Zig-Zag grill as the 125 but with the drawn one-piece fenders; Champions,NGK, Autolite, even Bosch, as long as I can make them fit; MMO/Stabil dilutes my Race Gas; and someday I'm going to buy a frt blade for the CC 70 to push the smaller snows instead of getting the FARMALL's out!

DONALD - Keep the Progress pic's coming!

Ahhhh, And a FAVOR from anyone posting pic's.... Please make sure any pic's posted include SNOW. Except for a few small patches I haven't seen BARE GROUND or Grass in over 2-1/2 MONTHS. ;-)
