Dave K. -

Well, I got the drainage tile in on Friday. The hard part was cutting through the 50 or so tree roots that we had to go through. The roots belong to a worthless silver maple. My father in law hope it kills the darn thing. Sorry that I missed Red Power, had to get things ready for a new class I am taking this summer II session. Yuk. I love to teach classes, but I sure don't like rolls reversed.

Dennis F. is correct as near as I could tell from cutting one up a couple of weeks ago.Everything is case hardened except it seems the hub or flange is not.It looked like it was welded on after.No problem cutting the axle with our band saw.No problem pointing both ends with a grinder.No problem welding it.So far so good.

JOHN P. - You making a spear for Miniature Big Round hay bales? ;-) Interesting the flange wasn't hard. There are coatings You can apply to steel so that area doesn't get hard because it protects the surface from the high carbon atmoshpere in the H.T. furnace, but typically IH didn't mess with such things. Welding the flange to the highly stressed hardened end of the axle after case hardening would probably lead to cracks. That doesn't seem to be the case after 40+ years of serious field testing SO.... This may be a situation where IH did keep the axles soft on the ends.

Dave Kamp-resend your email to jluckeyATluckeytechnologies.com

Everyonce in a while I get an email through exchange's webmail that says I can't read it. Guess what, I can't read yours.

Does any one have a recommendation for one of the sponsors on this site that has a good turn-around on 82 series parts?

The local CC dealer that is responsible for South Florida leaves a lot to be desired. It takes over a month to get an order completed and he never has anything in stock.

Dennis F.,spear for a miniarure round baler?The thought has merit.However,all I was doing was shortening an axle the only way I knew how.Probably better ways of doing it.Suggestions are welcome.

Does anyone one know what deck belongs on a 70 Cub Cadet?

Thanks,
Zack

JOHN - Must be making a REAL NARROW Cub Cadet Huh? As long as You have or can find the equip. to cut the splines I wouldn't mess with the flanged end of an axle. ZACK - correct deck for a 70 is the cast iron ended 38" three-blade deck. Both ends of the deck are heavy cast iron. Soon as Kraig sees Your post He'll have about three pic's of the Right One on here! Some will argue that a 42" similar in design was also possible to install as well, but more typically used on the 100.

Zack, here are the pictures that Denny promised I'd post. )

And for good measure here's a 4th. )

Kraig - oh keeper of the photos -

Re: my 3 point post/question

I noticed a picture elsewhere that shows two lower "fixed" brackets, where the lifting arms are bolted between the two brackets.


Closest to the transaxle when mounted - #6 is wider, followed by another #6 that is maybe 1/2" narrower and then the hitch point #7 is bolted on and through all of them as normal.

What's up with this mount?

 

[dfrisk]

THANK-YOU KRAIG. IH made about three different variations of the 38" 3-blade deck, The CI ended deck, then the steel ended deck like My 72 had with the front roller, and I think there's a steel ended deck without roller. Who's 70 is that Kraig? Sure a nice looking tractor/mower.

 

[sblunier]

What's up with that mule drive in the B&W literature shot.......obviously a pre-production set-up.

Note the zerks in the gauge wheels as well....

 

[kmcconaughey]

Denny, that would be Sam "Name that tune" Dishman's 70.

Rick, that wider lower bracket was for use with the landscape blade/rake combo unit.

 

[till]

It looks like 109 time...........

Film at 11.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Denny, Sam sold it quite some time ago and bought a cough, cough, JD 4100 compact utility. p

Steve B., that photo is from the back of a 100 data sheet. Good eyes. )

 

[rmunday]

Somehow I knew Kraig would know that *and* provide a picture! LOL!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Rick, I could post the drawings from the combo blade/rake manual that show the wider bracket if you want to see it but I may have to reduce the size to the point that it'd be hard to see. )
