Brett,
I used 1-1/2" thin wall conduit for my stack on a wide frame cub with the horizontal muffler. All you have to do (if the muffler is OEM) is bend the conduit at the bottom, and it slides right over the end of the muffler! No stack muffler needed.

Fcurrier - that's even worse. I still don't understand how the Fkawe.
Here is a picture of my loader exhaust. I used to smell it at first and the muffler tip was was blowing out on a line for the loader. so I had this MOD done.
I picked this up last week for 100$ ; I think I got a good deal considering I rebuilt it three years ago and 2 hrs of use .

DON - It might be carbon, those flat heads are really bad about that. Save the head gasket and just use the water spray into the carb.
There's several places in my books about the Nebraska Tractor tests where they comment something like, "Performance decreased in the 10 hr drawbar test so the head was removed and carbon cleaned off. Performance returned to prior levels."

My 850 Norton British police inner state had a full copper head gasket . you could re usage that 7 times ; IF you followed the instructions to heat with a flame to bluing of the copper gasket. seems heating the copper would make it swell so it could be used again. I rebuilt my Norton to 1/2 TH skirt clearance and flow benched in England at Fair Spares racing. It did do what they said. It was scary fast . All my HD friends would never mention what they did over the winter just to keep up lol. I know my Norton was build once and do it scary lol. I bought it for 1200$ Can and sold it with receipts for 10300 USDA . I sure miss it but my wife don`t !
Today was great ! I got to spend some good time with what I love. Yellow fever or what ever you need to call it ; It was good for me. I have to sell a few. I know we should never sell anything till your ready to . The Passion never left me because IH Cubs Found there way . i don`t care what you say A great working Cub will grow on you.

Harry: How the Fkawe. f KA we. Think about it. (We're doing fine).
Seriously on topic. Somehow, Dennis either has photographic memory (you may, too) or has a hell of a set of records. My advice to anyone getting into this hobby is to keep records, from day one if possible. They've come and gone from here and each one has "had its own beauty". I've spent most of today picking over notes, scraps of paper, etc. and trying to catch up to where the CCs that are here now, where they came from, what's been done to them, etc. Now the 10 that I'm dealing with each has its own notebook, but I'm not done digging, yet. For now:

You have enough cubs now so you can afford to dedicate one to that blower/thrower.
I've got to get back on some cub projects/repairs here. Been busy with leaves. I found that I have everything I will need to build a leaf vac system. I need one so badly this time every year and I need to make things easier when it comes to the leaves. Maybe I'll dedicate a 149 for the job. Any suggestions on what deck/blades would be best for a leaf vac system??? Maybe I'll start a thread in the sandbox when I tackle the project. It should be quite involved.
I guess I'm rambling a bit but after a few hours with a large backpack blower vibrating on my back I tend to get a little out of whack.

Neil M., the problem you are describing sounds exactly like a failing condenser.
Gonna have to go through the gear box on my QA42A.
Anyone have good numbers for the seals and bearings? Or should I just tear into it and try to match up numbers with what comes out of it?
I'm sure Charlie had all this stuff, but.....

Thanks Don, Frank-
I will more than likely use a 149 for the leaf vac system.
I have 48", 44", or even a 50" deck to choose from for the project. I'm just wondering which would be the best suited for the job. I've used gator blades a bunch and like them but this isn't about mulching so... I also have two very old blowers from 8hp walk behind leaf blowers.
I may get on this project sooner than expected.

David S - I've got a couple of the QA42A gear boxes I've been gonna go thru. I'd suggest just pulling the beearing and matching them up. The outer bearing has a seal on the outside only, and the inner bearing doesn't have seals on either side. Never really understood how the outer bearing is supposed to get lubed. You'll know what I mean when you pull the box apart and see how it's designed. I did one before and just put in outerbearings sealed on both sides thinking it's probably better rather than risk the grease just sitting in there in the space allowed, and hoping it would get hot and flow into the bearing. You might already be aware that IH initially used gear oil in the boxes, then changed over to using grease. It's generally now been recommended on here to use combination of both.
Fcurrier - yup, doing just fine.
Don T - did you leave a $0 off your price of that snow thrower? I could see the price you mentioned for people living down south, but up in your territory seems 4 digits in the price wouldn't be out of line.

Click the Parts Lookup button above, enter in QA42A for the model number. All the Part numbers are there.
Or call Rob and he knows them off the top of his head, LOL
Rob at R.F. Houtz and son stocks everything you'll need.

I did luck out on the price ; I have one I rebuilt that has a bad 19 tooth spline here that Art A sent me a replacement spline for that I have yet to repair. a 50/50 grease and 90 weight oil is what I added to the gear box of the snow blowers I refurbed. I think I used snowmobile oil with a cold additive to help with lubrication.
Wayne
You won`t need a 14 to use your leave vacuum .I bet a 10 would work just fine. It only has to pull the vacuum and power the deck. a 44" will work fine . it will just take smaller bites from a wide track that you have to remove the leaves from.the lift from a 149 could be a plus.
Charlie
Great to see you back after your loss help out a fellow cubber; I hope you are back selling parts on your site soon. Just so I can help you get started on the path back running your web site

Thanks Charlie! I did the parts lookup thing but they all come up NLA. Was thinking someone had current #'s from a supplier. I'll tear into it and see what I can find out. The Guys at the local Case IH dealer are pretty sharp and have helped before.
FRANK - Yes, my memory is really good for little details, but then I've only been around doing maintenance & repair on FIVE CC's over the last 50 yrs. And like I always say, "I'm still trying to wear out these 45-50 yr old tractors."
It's funny, the oldest CC, the 70 is probably in the best over-all shape now too with the refurbish this spring. Other than a change of Hy-Tran the rearend had NOTHING done to it other than a good cleaning & repaint. The shifter detent springs & balls need replaced but that's a small project once the rearend is removed. That tractor has mowed a L-O-T of grass in it's life.
