I think if I use a piece of pipe I should be able to bring the bend back . I have propane heat to hit the steal. I just think my biggest problem is me welding the sleeve back in. I will get some one to weld it for me.I think everbody should have a loder . My wife likes the laoder when I transport mulch and fertilizer around for her plants.Half the fun owning one Cub is having one for each task.Thanks to Kraig and Steve B i can now build a tow Cub attachment for my 149 and 1512 Diesel.

lol

Don T., why wait two years, head out later this spring, might be best to wait until May as this winter doesn't seem to want to end.

I posted some snow/fog photos in the Sandbox but seeing that Charlie posted some here, here's a few other's of mine from this morning. First one is of the road by my property the second is of a train bridge that is near my property.

KRAIG - No fog around here, but clouded up after day break and the grass is about HALF WHITE now.

You do take great photos and the bridge is awesome !

Kraig that wall of fog at the bridge is cool!!

We have a mix of snow & rain in northern NJ today. An inch+ of white on the ground none on the driveway.

Got some Cub work for the weekend...Switch out winter tires for my turfs on one 169 and install the replacement brake caliper, swap a head on the 128 and try the redrill & tap on the bad one (could I be running too lean and therefore hot that I popped the plug?) , install a new battery (Advance Auto had a great sale $25 for a 300CCA L&G battery) grease everything up and get ready for spring!!!

Sorry for the delay, it took me a while to find a NOS one for a measurement.
It measures exactly 4 7/8" wide.

I was out on the road when Charlie posted the kind codes so couldn't look up mine. Now that I'm back home, have some questions:

682 w/hydraulics - I thought that was a 782?
482 s/gd - What does "gd" mean?
782 (ccc made for IH) - What does that mean?

Just trying to understand the codes.

Thanks

It might be easier to just go back out on the road.

Tom Hill,
We are practically neighbors,I live in Montague...
Picked up new parts for the 582.Carb and fuel pump kit and drive line parts.Can't wait to get this thing back together.

 

[nbartee]

Am I asking dumb questions again??? But you should be proud of me, Charlie, at least I tried the search engine first!

 

[mbounds]

NormB:

w/hydraulics = front hydraulics-not the 782 lift.

Ya think that gd just might mean gear drive??

After the sale of Cub Cadet to MTD in 1981, the stand alone CCC subsidiary continued to supply IH Dealers with Red 82 Series Cub Cadets till the demise of IH in 1985. During this same time period, CCC only dealers sold the exact same 82 series Cub Cadets but painted yellow/white.

Thanks for the info, Myron. Yea, the "gd" was a dumb question. But still don't understand the 682 w/hydraulics. If it's for the front, did they put a ported hydro in and control valve, and never hooked up the lift? Must not have been very many of them made!

 

[mschutz]

Lewis, Are you going to bring the 582 to Danville? Just finished my electric lift today. (thanks to Charlie) Now I don't have to struggle lifting the plow. Hope it warms up so I can paint. See you there I hope.

Lucky Me! I found this L.S. Starrett item in an Antique Shop. Patent dates are: Apr. 13, 1897 and Mar. 28, 1905. It had a tag on it saying it is a speed indicator. When the shaft is rotated the dial in the center rotates. The tip on the end of the shaft has evidently been replaced. It has a wooden tip now, but I would suspect that it was originally rubber. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

My 122 has started to smoke a little under heavy load and quick throttle up over the winter, could I just put a new set of STD rings in to make it last until I can afford to have it non-operational for a while while it gets a complete rebuild later on?

Did IH build any of the 582 specials?

 

[lpalma]

Melody,
Looks like the 582 will be still apart by then.

Willam,

Starret calls it a speed indicator but it is more of an RPM counter. There were two different rubber tips that came with it. Each rotation of the dial is 100 RPM. To use it, one would place the indicator tip into the center drill mark on the end of a rotating shaft and count the number of revolutions on the dial in exactly 1 minutes time. 36 rotations would equal 3600 rpm. You can also count the number of dial revolutions for 10 seconds and multiply by 6 to obtain the shafts RPM.

I have one very similar to the one you have. I used it a couple times on different small engines setting the high rpm limit. They don't work well with our Cadets since you have to remove the grill and front pto to get at the crank shaft.

Google "Starret speed indicator" and you will find quite a bit of info about it. They were still in the Starret catalog a few years ago.

William,

Since Starret makes/made machinists' tools I'd bet a rubber wheel would have been attached and the instrument held against a rotating something or other thereby counting the rotations.


HEY!! I guessed at the above but have found the link that helps to describe the instrument. I'd bet different size wheels were used such that if you had a 1"circumference wheel you could measure Inches per minute/second and with a 1' circumference wheel measure feet per minute/second and with a 1 mile circumference wheel... oh scratch that!!!

Any old time machinists out there to verify??
