Ok Now I know. for some reason I thought there should be only one exhaust pipe.I have a love for stacks and the bark they give.That`s a fine tractor and I could add that to my list also. I don`t have any RED tractors
Don - Westfall had a roller 682 a few years ago but there was no way I could have gone to pick it up. I need a <font color="ff0000">RED</font>'n too !
Naw , really I need to get rid of the 127 and 129. I need working room.

If you start putting neon lights on Cubs would you start putting on radios?
To keep it original equipment no sound systems with 6+ speakers, stereo or Hi-Fi if you have a 1960s, late 1970s could have a boom box.
No 16inch base speaker
BOOM….BOOM BOOM
BOOM….BOOM BOOM
For the neighbors, at 2 in the morning could be a bit much

DONALD - Yes, the prior owner put on two chrome slash cut exhaust outlets on the mufflers.
I almost sold that @#$% Thing the other day! I've put about 315 hours on it in the 10-11 yrs I've had it. It started running rough about the 3rd-4th mowing this spring, like it was starving for gas. So I put new plugs in, rebuilt the carb, installed the new fuel pump I bought back in 2005, and it still runs like crap.
I've got a few more parts I might try replacing, points & condensor, maybe the coil & plug wires. The sales slip showed I paid $97 for the fuel pump incl. tax & $5 shipping. OUCH! Wish I could get do a vacuum check on the thing, the jd boys say those Onan's have a habit of the intake manifolds springing vacuum leaks and running lean. And this engine got a new intake when it was rebuilt about 335 hours ago. Those old Onan's are NOT a cheap engine to keep running. I've spent more on that Onan this year than I've spent on BOTH My FARMALL's in the last five-six years combined.

All I've ever known is a red Cub Cadet,
and I like it better than any other tractor I've ever owned, but it seems a mite over-powered to me --I mostly just cut the grass. However, I really like what I've been able to experience of my single-cylinder 149.
Its quieter (although it seems to vibrate more), and I like the controls better. I also like the fact I don't have to pull the side panels off to work on it. (Don't worry, I've got a seat for it.)
If the 14 HP can keep up with my grass-cutting needs, and the mechanical PTO holds together, it may become my mower of choice. Plus it has a sleeve hitch . . .

Kentucky Ken: Thanks for posting pictues and a model of your boom lift. It gives me something to think about. It seems to be a very creative approach to a problem faced by a lot of Cub owners, myself included.
Perhaps you could market it as "The Backsaver."

Tom Hoffman, "Mein Kub" certainly one of the nicest CC's ever! Always enjoyed the pics of her!

Dave Ross, I hadn't seen that setup before and I can see it being very handy when I'm tossing snow at night. First it may keep me from being run over when I'm going forward and last, when I've got to backup I can switch it and see what's behind me. Any other places have'em besides the link Denny put up? Much appreciated!
Dennis-
I've found taking time to get the grill out of the way helps in the long run. The way they move when the mounting bolts are tightened makes it a little aggravating putting them back but each one seems to be a little easier. In my younger days I would hoist a Kohler in a heartbeat and that's part of the reason I'm needing the hydraulics today.
Ken-
Thanks. That "sketch" gives some good ideas. I have a few small bottle jacks I seldom use. I also have a hand winch which would a little quicker but space might be a factor there. It would maybe serve the purpose. I have a few mule drives so I guess a weight bracket would be the next thing to consider to have any steering. BTW, these ideas are for my hydraulic/electric lift cubs. I just finished a nice 129 with hydraulics with hopefully a 1650 and a 147 soon to follow. A deck is about all I want to handle with a manual lift any more.

Thanks for the reply Dave. I guess this will be one of those times when the internet will be my friend as there aren't any farmers around these parts any longer. Glad you like the profile pic also.
WAYNE - I pull the grill screen or insert out when I get that deep into a CC but the surround casting & hood stay attached.
I will eventually have to remove a grill casting. I've been running the 70 for a year wihout the hood, and the grill casting has a huge chunk ground then busted out of it so it will get replaced as soon as I find a replacement, I have a spare casting from a 123 so I suppose I could make it a CC 71 but don't want to. Plus I have some welding to do on the frame. There's some extra holes that need plugged and I'm going to reinstall the weldnuts inside the frame. On a non-QA tractor you use them WAY to often to not have them. SON wants to make the 70 a "QA-Tractor" but not sure how that would go. He also wants to make another set of fenders like's on the 72, now THAT may happen.

DAVE R. - Sorry, missed replying back to you yesterday, Yep, been busy the last couple days. With the Onan in the 982 not running right I hate to run it any more than I have to, so the 72 had to became #1 mower again.
Before I put the K321 with the straight pipe in the 72 I called it, "Ole Faithful" since it was ALWAYS ready & willing to go and do whatever I needed done. With the K321 & straight pipe it's now known as "Ole NOISY".
Wife can't take a nap when I mow with it!

Tom,
I don't have a one painted red, but I got one with "stack's"
Was getting ready to load these to go to I&I Historic Farm Days Show in Penfield, IL, so thought I take a picture of part of the "family"
Left to Right: 1962 "O" with a 4 cylinder Teledyne, Jan 1961 "O", 1964 70 "Survivor", 1974 800, 1975 800.
