You got to hate it when YOUR favorite Cub don`t charge ! just saying !
 
DON - No problems here with the PSD.... 301,000 MILES of trouble-free driving. It's got me home every time I've left the house. Sorry, but I can't say that about a Cum-a-Part.

I will have to say however... I've been watching more truck/tractor pulling on Direct TV the last couple weeks. On the Super-Stock diesel truck class, it's ALL Dodge's... well, except for one DuraMax that wins about 2/3rds of the time. ;-)

Ha-Ha... It's actually a MUCH more interesting class to watch than the gas 4WD pickups.

And I bet putting a new V/R on your Cubbie gets it charging again. Always has on my 72. I never had an issue with the rear mounted V/R on the 129 or the solid state V/R on the Onan in the 982. I even mount the V/R back under the seat on the 70 & 72 like what IH finally did on the W/F's away from the heat & vibration of the engine. I used to wear out a V/R every two yrs on the 72.
 
Denny I would love to see the video of you PSD and MY cum a part tied together by a chained rear bumpers . Just saying I would still help you get all the parts and get them home . I wish they were like the Cubs and in some ways they are . at 2020 let see which one still runs and pulls . last fall pulling a bumper pull dump trailer (3600 lbs)with cull carrots 4 x 700 lbs and two bins on my truck 1400 lbs I thought it was to easy to go down the road. When I checked my tires I had when from 12 to 3/32 to replace (bauld) because of torque with the weight my Come a part was pulling .310,000 klm and same as new lol.I entered a 4x4 pulling class with gas trucks a few years ago. They the gas trucks spun and bounce all over the track and I would pull ahead and wave out my window. stopping three times and then making a full pull. gas and diesel got there own category after that lol.

I did replace the starter gen with a rebuild one and still have the same issue ( no Charge). I think I need a voltage reg and try again.
 
DON - And what exactly is this "chaining the back bumpers together" supposed to prove? From most examples I've heard and seen, it's proved two dumb-azz's have torn up their trucks. Be a bitter cold day when I do that.

Lets see... 301K miles vs 310K kilometers.... 310K km is only 192,625.07 MILES. You still have to put another 108,374.93 MILES on your truck to catch up with me. And I've run over-size tires on my truck from around 95,000 miles on, it's actually covered more like 310,000 MILES. It'll be the year 2220 before your truck has as many miles as my truck does now.

I'm pretty sure my truck will still be running in 2020, that's only six years away... and it's been running for over seventeen and a half years already.

My truck still doesn't use any oil... paint still shines like new. No rust holes anywhere in the body, which for a truck driven that many miles and that many years in Wisconsin is absolutely unheard of.

Gotta remember, my PSD engine was built by INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER.

It doesn't know how to QUIT. It's actually the newest piece of IH stuff I have, the M is 62 yrs, Super H 59 yrs, #72 only 45 yrs, 982 only 33, and the 70 even though SON has it, is going to be 49 this spring. My truck is still a "teen-ager".
 
Don and Dennis, watch this... Go FORD!

Sorry Charlie, we are supposed to get another "polar vortex" starting Wed. It was 64* today. 4 days ago it was -17. The cubbies are having a roller coaster winter man... I did check the oil in the 782. Pretty gas washed. Gonna need a change before the next snow.

worked late tonight, and look what I missed, lol I did sand blast mower linkage parts on my 125 today, brought them home in my duramax,
 
Hello! I have a IH Cub Cadet 72, that I would like to finally get on all fours. The 72 has the front rims which are the narrow ones for pneumatic tire size 4.80/4.00-8. How difficult would it be for me to mount new [V7563] 4 ply VRE 3-rib tires? I have new tubes to install as well, and no special tire installation tools. These rims are already painted.

My next question is how do you think the 72 will sit with those front tires? High in the front, or level? I have 6-12 narrow rear rims for the tractor with new Carlisle bar tread Tru-Power. Would you advise taking those in to the shop to have mounted? I'm just not quite the tire
expert, but these rims are in primer which kind of makes it easier on me to except scratches on these rims. I have my Operator's Manual, and all I get from that is " After mounting the tire,..." No help on what to do. Hopefully the Wife don't get after us! lol!

On a side note: I have a creeper from a wide frame. Are there going to be major problems when I go to couple the tractor? I was considering the best idea besides buying the correct selector handle.
 
Denny-
You need to start a thread in the sand-box about your truck. Not that I'm telling you to go somewhere else, (that's Charlie's job) but I'd like to hear more about your truck as far as specs and perhaps you could post some pics.

JOHN L. - I started mounting tires at an early age, it was a requirement back on the farm to be able to get much of anything done. And even when I hauled ready-mix for two summers when I was in college, drivers had to fix their own flats.

I can't say how your #72 will sit with those new frt tires in place of the GY's that were on it new, I'm not familiar with that new tire, but assuming the size is still a 4.00X8 so it fits on the OEM wheel, it should be fine.

Last spring when I refurbished the 70 I had the same situation, blasted the frt wheels and wanted the tires mounted with no or at least as few chips & scratches as possible. I primed the wheels, then mounted the tires & inner tubes but did not inflate the tube to force the tire out onto the beads of the rim. I cut two large pieces of cardboard, something from the sides of a large cardboard box works fine. Then I cut an arc along one edge that let the cardboard slip between the tire & rim. The arc has to be deep enough so the two pieces of cardboard over-lap, but not too wide so it stays close to the inside bead of the rim. Then painted them 935 IH white. When the paint was dry, I pulled the cardboard out, aired up the tires and mounted them on the 70. No scratches or chips.
 
Dennis, I wanted one of Kentucky's pin tools but when I went to buy them, he had quit making them and what he had made were all bought up. I will just have to do it the more time consuming way and keep looking for a 108 or 128 to replace the 106. The 106 has been a good unit since I bought it but those wide frames are so much easier to work on.
 
Dennis F- I sure would appreciate having those tire changing requirements today!

David S- Never would have thought of that one! Going to head out and work on trying the tire installed.

Gramps bought the new Dodge 1 ton dually regular cab back in '00. The dealership also even added a heavier rear suspension package, the heaviest towing package, and cut the inside fender wells for a wider perimeter inside the bed. A electric winch fastened at the front of the bed would move two {his and hers} Harley Davidson Heritage Soft tails 1989 models, that would fit perfectly in the bed of that truck. Next, they would tow their new 34'foot Lynx Prowler mobile trailer south to Florida each year until they bought their home down there.

Gramps said that Cummins Turbo Diesel would pull that load like a child pulling a toy wagon through the hills of Kentucky and on down. That truck was a real power house. Gramps served under Admiral Nimitz as one of the highest top diesel engine technicians in the Pacific Fleet. Gramps knew the in's and out's of the diesel engine, and knew if one engine was good or not. Didn't mean Cummins was the best, but rather what he choose for his purpose.
 
with snow coming I needed to change the 169 oil, I only had Farm and fleet 5w30 dino on hand so I used it. So I should change it out right away or use it for a while?
 
Thanks for the QA42 Thrower lesson. I will let this one pass. I wasn't in the market anyway, just a local guy letting me know he had it, his tractor is now in Florida and to make him an offer.
 
JOHN - I haven't checked, but there has to be a you-tube video of changing a tire with the "old fashioned tire spoons". The hardst part for me was finding a pair of spoons. Dad ended up making mine from 3 ft of 3/4" dia 304 SS round bar, they're each 18 inches long.

You need a couple other things to change tube-type tires, the "leash" to hold the inner tube's valve stem in place, it's a steel valve cap that has a flexible steel cable attached to it and the other end typically has a valve core removal tool, which you'll need. And an air compressor, big or small doesn't matter. Back on the farm, Dad's compressor was maybe a half or 3/4 horse on a 15 gallon tank, And we changed quite a few full size rear tractor tires... well, at least BIG for the 1960's and early '70's, at least I did, was cheaper than having the tire truck pay a visit. Not sure what it cost to have the tire truck pay a visit back then but it's $100 now days for the first hour from the time the truck leaves the shop till he gets back to the shop.
 
Hello! I have a yellow / white Cub Cadet 680, Did than come went HDY LIFT ? Thanks}}
 
Roger,

The 680 was built by CCC/MTD and should be in the other forum. It looks like it was built from 81 to 84 and maybe it replaced the IH 682. I suspect that it only had the manual lift and that the hydraulic lift was on the 782 which was still under production.

But again, you may get much better information if you post your inquiry on the CCC and MTD forum.
 
Hi guys I'm new here I have a 1250 1650 1810 and a 1882, we'll the question I have is about my Johnson loader, I'm looking to buy a new pump for it but I'm not to sure what size to buy for it I don't want to buy one that's to little or to big it's all original if anyone can help that would be great thanks a lot guys

Harry from Maryland
 
Harry - I don't have a loader, just wanted to welcome you to the Forum. Possibly Don Tanner has the info as he's rebuilt one, I believe that was a Johnson.. From reading other forums, I believe the original pump was a Cessna and was around 5 GPM... Do a Google on "Johnson loader pump specs" and you'll see quite a few links to other forum's threads (WFM also has the parts manual online..)
