Just got an email from a lurker asking what held on the front PTO pulley, so here it is again.

Well, After owning TWO Hydro's I finally get to rebuild the hydro linkage per the FAQ # 14. After mowing about an hour with the 982 Saturday the Hydro started acting REALLY weird....like full speed forward while still in reverse!

Drove carefully to the shop and pulled the tunnel cover and ALL the springs were gone and the outside edge of the actual hydro lever was totally gone! Little work with some rubber fuel line & some nylon tie straps and it worked MUCH better than it has for the last couple years to finish mowing. I GOTTA get one of the old gear drives ready to mow! Son now has ANOTHER welding project to do!
Side comment on the forum activities of last week.... The reason I've enjoyed this forum over the last 7-8 yrs is because of the rules and the way they're enforced....no "What's it worth" posts, No "First, Second, Third" posts, etc. Nothing stupid. There's other forums for that nonsense....I don't have time for that and I won't post on those forums...I may read them when I have time but never post. What a Cub Cadet is worth is ONLY the business of the Seller & prospective buyer.
RANDY M. - I bought an ATV sprayer about 12-15 yrs ago that was supposed to strap to a cargo platform of an ATV....I just set it in My cart & spray with it....only 15 gal. cap. but the pump & stuff is the same as the sprayer You have. I just bought the HYPRO roller pump yesterday to make Me a bigger one...I think it'll end up on the CAT. O 3-point on the 982 when it's done. I broadcast spray for broadleaf weeds & I wasn't able to get My new crabgrass herbicide down this spring...It's pre-emergence and the crabgrass is already sprouted. I'll just use My ATV sprayer for spot applications of ROUNDUP from now on. New sprayer is going to be about 50 gal. cap.

Thanks for the input on the shreader and the gen set. The generator would be nice to have but in reality probably not real practical. I should think about a tiller and a loader tractor first. I had to use a front tine walk behind yesterday at the mother in laws, now I know why they hang tillers on the back of a tractor. Gota go.

I've been in contact with a former co-worker who just joined the Forum after reading it for a few years. I'm not going to give away his identity - he's a little hesitant about posting, but let's put it this way - he and his family have a "few" IHC products, including a bunch o'cubbies (some of the big red stuff has been featured in Red Power..).. I've told him that pics are always welcome and I'm going to twist his arm by posting the two pics he sent me.. I think he should show us more - right??

Note the stalls for the Big Red ones...carpeted
To get the rest of the last picture, we'll have to ask him for it..

Hey Dean,

tiller myself forever. You won't believe how

set up years ago.

Greg p.
What about posting your want in the,
Need your IH Cub Cadet or related equipment hauled somewhere? Section?

 

[mreed]

Terry B. is that a homemade stack on your tractor or did you buy it? I've been looking for one similar to that.

I was mowing on Friday, and when I was mowing a flat part of my yard, my cub labored, and then died. It took a few minutes to cool off/start up again, and then it was all hunky dory. It has done this on hills before, but never on flat ground... WTH is it??

 

[digger]

Glen,
What have you checked to rule out as to being a problem?

 

[dsauve]

Jim- my old man has a hydrolic drive tiller for the green tractor in his stable. He said he didn't want to walk, now I know why. I thought he was just being a whimp, now I know otherwise.

Terry- how much work was it to build your cadloader and how easy is it to remove for snowblower and shreader work?

Mike "M", Bubba, and/or Brad "D",
Do you guys have anything to share with the class from yesterday????

Jackpot!!!!!!!!!! 149 with tiller, mower deck, front blade, and snow thrower!
This past Sunday I was looking through my locale classified ads paper when I saw a 149 with implements at an auction. So I went to the auction and there it was, a 149 that was in need of a restoration but all the parts were there. It got even better when I saw the implements that were being sold with it. There was a rear teller, 42" snow thrower, 42" front blade, and 42" mower deck! All of them were in restorable shape with no rust holes or damage. I ended up wining the bid and got the whole works for
$200! While I was loading up I heard the auctioneer say that he had found some manuals to go with it. I turned around and walked back to where he was and he handed me the original operators manual, a blur ribbon Kohler engine service manual, and a blue ribbon chassis and equipment manual. He was going to auction them off separately but figured that they should go with the rest of the package. I couldn't have gotten any luckier. I will get some pics of everything this weekend.

Jesse D.
WELL DONE!

So why do we have to wait till the weekend for pics?

 

[jdodge]

The reason that I won't have pics before the weekend is because the tractor and implements are in Northwestern, WI which is about 3 hours from Rochester, MN where I live. I won't be up there untell Friday night.

Tom,
Are you talking about the auction at Buck's on Sunday??? Well a 184 with a deck went for $2400. A 184 with a deck and a Kwik-Way loader went for $1850. And last but not least an 882 diesel went for $1200.
Now if your talking about the new turbo on Travis' former tractor,then I still have a grin on my face. There is video and pics that Mike M has. That tractor walk that plow right down the furrow. Turbo spooled up and no loss of power.
I should be able to keep up with Big Steve in the deep plowing category.
Lets face it, plowing with a Diesel is COOL!!!!
