OK guys, I caught five of these a couple of years ago.
Of course I caught the biggest one. My sister is holding it.

We always charter out of there on The Albatross Fleet.

Earl- only a 129? Listing showed a 3204 (or maybe 3206?) Did you see it, & how did it look? Thought it could be an organ donor but regardless I still have the date with the PT in the morning. One of these years I'll get out there again.

Brian, I walked just a bit around. Only other cub was a 1042(?) parts basket. They keep nicer, dealer selling stuff inside until morning of. I got yelled at for parking in the lot, walking over to glance at things, and leave. Guys were driving in the sale area and somebody tried firing up a Farmall. My que to split. I don't mess with others stuff, steal keys/parts etc in viewing time before sale. Happens all too often nowadays. I had a guy try to steal a mower I bought right after auctioneer said"Sold!" He's lucky I had the rest of the crowd on my side and he was escorted out by an off duty sheriff I see a lot.

My 129 came with a factory electric lift. Main components are gone, but switch is still in dash. I don't know how long it was available. I have a couple ported pumps setting, thanks Marlin, that I will end up finding the rest of hydraulic lift pieces for it. A friend of mine is considering a Hydro for plowing and I'm talking him into picking my supply of tractors before going out and buying.

Kentuck,
Seems to be on some kind of rotating schedule!

Will this V/R work on a 128?
Do I just omit use of the 'L' terminal then?

It was on a 109 parts tractor I picked up several years ago, wires were all cut off.

Thanks Gang!

Dave -
It should. I just put some heat shrink on the L terminal, as it will be carrying whatever voltage the generator is putting out, and having bare terminals with stuff rattling around can be a bit too exciting sometimes.

 

[dropte]

That being said, one thing I’d look out for is to make sure it’s putting out the right voltage. Some of those Chineseeum ones are set to 16 volts instead of 13.5-14. You can adjust them by bending the tang for the spring on the inductor section attached to the field terminal. Your post reminded me to go check that on my 125 with one of those on them, and sure enough it was putting out 16v and some change. Adjusted it and now it’s much better

Charlie, I've never pulled bug screen, but have to watch temp. when plowing @ a PD with flying debris. In winter conditions, I have the hood cracked open to warm the windbreaker soft cab. It does look like the screen on yours is abused or maybe it's just camera angle...

PS..Are the radiator fins clear of debris?
