Todd,
You can put an extension rod on the one you have or just buy the longer lever from one of our sponsors.

Charlie, Lonny,

We use Groov-Pins all the time at work. Click here to see the facts:

Todd C,
Wide frame and narrow frame creepers are the same.
Like Kenny said, the handle is different.
Narrow frame creeper,

Wide Frame Creeper,

Kenny W.
Great info thanks.
I was thinking about maybe using some anti-seize just in case I wanted/needed to remove it later on.
Anyone have any thoughts on that idea?

Charlie: That Kohler must have led the good life

I don't think using never-seize would hurt. I use it on just about everything...except where I use Locktite......no problems with things coming loose on their own yet.

E-mails from [email protected]...

It appears that some folks are receiving bogus e-mails from [email protected] saying that their ihcubcadet.com e-mail address has been suspended and that the attachment has instructions on how to reactivate.

Of course, said attachment has a virus in it.

First, we do not have an [email protected] address. [email protected] is all we use.

Second, scrutiny of the headers reveals that the originator is NOT ihcubcadet.com:

The IP address in red belongs to natgi.com - their contact information, if it can be believed, shows that they're in Panama.

Digger- Thanks for the info.

I have checked the sponsers and don't see the longer handle available any more (was there a few weeks ago).

 

[digger]

I have a question,
What would happen if I used a rag joint from a QL on the drive shaft of the 149?
QL on top and 149 on the bottom.

Todd C.
I just looked and found it.

[tcarter]

Digger- Thanks! I was just there looking again I must need new glasses

 

[dkirk]

Charlie,

It'll work great! Did this to a friend's narrow frame and worked so well I plan to do it to my 107. Permanently eliminates pin replacements and the annoying rattle.

 

[sblunier]

Charlie,

I use the rubber rag joints interchangeably, my 169 is running a full 1650 driveline, 149 has a QL rubber in it.....it'll be fine.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Steve, did Chris and Mike haul some parts from Travis for you? If so did you get a receipt from Travis like the one I got? )

 

[bcook]

At least he didn't charge you tax too....

 

[sblunier]

I don't know, I haven't seen the bill yet...... Probably nailed me for $100 considering the distance...

 

[digger]

Thanks Dave & Steve,
I've always wondered why the QL rag joints had a bigger hole in them and didn't know if it would make a big dif or not.
I just put one on the 149 and your right, it sure made a big improvement.
THANKS GUYS

 

[kmcconaughey]

Wild Bill, good point! Well, they were (e)mail order and out of state and I don't think Wisconsin has reciprocity with Iowa when it comes to taxes. Actually I think the fuel surcharge should go to M&C Transport (Mike and Chris) they delivered the "2 dry rotted cracked tires on rusty rotten rims". )

 

[digger]

The guy in the Big Brown truck stopped by today to deliver this from Jerry B in Idaho.

Well it was wrapped up in some really nice landscape cloth,

SOOOO, I figured what the heck! I'll just make good use of it and get rid of that nasty little strip of grass along the deck!

Thanks for both items Jerry!

Charlie-

Yeah neat head bolts.

Pretty common around here; they say "Rockford" because they're made here in Rockford, IL. My 125 has those too.
