Fancy here.

Dad's getting ready for work so now is my chance to give a hint of what he's getting.....

Mom says to humor him.

MARLIN - I at least hope it's a 140. If I ever, EVER had a weak moment and bought a deare it would only be a 140.

But then, I'm still trying to wear out 45,42, & 30 yr old Cub Cadets, so why would I want to get another tractor.

Saturday, I picked up a Simplicity 8" plow that looks like this one:

The one I have is missing the Z-rod that goes from the frame to the coulter. I want to beef up the hitch and make it wider so it will not be free to pivot around the hitch.

I would also like to find a manual on this someplace. Unfortunately the Simplicity site, even though they do have some down loadable manuals, does not have the manual for this. Neither does the Simple tractors web site. I see one on ebay, but it looks to be a scanned job, plus the picture on the front does not look entirely like this one. Any one have one?

Dug out the S/G to the 149 last night, It had been hibernating in a cabinet since gravity attacked it last year (see pulley at left)... The pulley would NOT come off, so it got PB Blasted... A Spud wrench (who would have thought a plumbing tool should have an IH P/N) and a BFH (aka Ford tool) got it off this time nice and easy. Gotta get some black paint

Fancy's Mommy here.(aka angel-I'm sneaking in too, now that daddys gone to work) They say its " greener" on the other side.? depends on what kind of shades you're wearing... yellow tint shades..its pretty yellow.!! right?

Paul B., good catch, I missed where Brad asked about the "front screen".

Brad, here's what the grill screen should look like on the 73.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Lewis P., any chance I could get you to take a detail photo of the grill screen on one of your restored 1x6/7 series Cubs for my archives? How about if I say: PLEASE? TIA

 

[pbell]

Kraig,
I'm Not Lewis P, and this 107 is not restored, but here are some pictures of an original, unrestored grill on a 107

 

[kmcconaughey]

Paul, perfect, THANK YOU!

 

[dtanner]

Well this Cub Storage shed will soon be ready for winter. I will side and put metal on all the trim come spring.Just some more trim pcs yet on the new door. How do you all like my sign lol

 

[vthomley]

Don, looking nice! I really like the wood pattern on the doors. I'm a bit surprised the sign is not upside down....just kidding

Hey, might have the rough looking 125 running for Glenn Peterson's Plow Day this weekend! I know its rough lookin, but hopefully it will be smooth runnin.

FYI, the FAQs have helped me a ton in the past couple weeks! Thank you!

It's upside down.

Kraig M.
My 107's is painted and it was painted before I restored it.
Here is one on my 106.

Yep some is up side backwards lol. But when finished you won`t see that.I will have to find a home on the back of the door,That will save it from the weather.

 

[vthomley]

My dad's been working on an Original, he will be plowing with it on Saturday. Here's a before and a couple after pics.

 

[T-Mo]

Thanks, Lewis. I probably going to have to make item 2. I also would like to find the owner's manual on this thing.

VINCE - While I can agree with the idea of adding more HP to a CCO, I can't really see why anyone would chose to do it THAT way. The timed deck on that tractor actually looks in real good shape.... especially for being 47+ yrs old. Of course, the "hoop" over the discharge chute always is missing.

But the red/white color scheme does look nice on them. The '63 CCO Dad traded on the CC #70 in '65 was repainted red/white by the dealer. Dad talked to the guy that bought that tractor back in '65 several years ago. He was still mowing with it every week at the time.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Lewis, THANK YOU!

 

[aaytay]

Vince-
Ask your Dad if he replaced the water-pump on that Original. They have a tendency to go bad when plowing.

Hi everyone,

I don't know if it is appropriate for this section of the forum, but I was wondering if I could get a hand identifying a cart I bought for $20. I am not sure if this is actually an IH cart or something someone painted up. I have done some digging, but have come up dry. Anyone out there have a guide to carts or is familiar with IH carts?

thanks
