Chris R., I can't help with the dimensions but here's a couple photos and a drawing.

I took the day off of work to get a few things done before the snow flies. One thing was to get the ag tires I bought from Rob D., installed on K4K. Thanks Rob! I also installed a set of weights inside the rims so it's ready for plowing.

Now if the garden soil would dry out a little so I could go play...

Kraig, Thats a nice looking CC. Nice Job! What kind of tires are they on the back? They don't look like Carlisles.

In my deference he could read his manual.But then I must take more time to read also.

Kraig-
That's a PURDY tractor!

Don't ya just love the look of an Original with AG tires on the back?

<font size="-2">BTW... Nice job, I see you mounted them in the correct direction on the first try!</font>

Rich P. It sure is!!!

Fancy and I'll fall asleep on it.

Kraig M. Your Original looks soo nice.... Want to do mine in time for next year?

Hopefully this afternoon, I'll get to try my hand at welding with a real welder instead of my little bitty one. First time in eight or nine years with this one. Oh the projects to be done.

Could someone point me in the direction for instructions on how to mount IH snow blade on a 102. Thanks

Thanks for the nice comments on K4K.

Melody, I bought them used (though they are like brand new!) from Rob Dehli, I forget what brand they are, I'd have to go look. You are correct they are not Carlisle.

Don, Charlie gave me that key fob.

Art, yep, thought long and hard about which tire to mount on which side.

And YES I do love the look of an Original with Ag tires!

Speaking of K4K, he got his new shoes dirty!

It's quite amazing what one can do with only 7hp. Now that I have lots of traction on the rear I can really tell I need front weights. Time to build a weight bracket for some of the 4, 45lb JD weights that we have for the JD X585.

Selah, one of our cats, seemed to like the front tri ribs on K4K, even though they've been on K4K for a couple of years now. He didn't even pay any attention to the new Ags! Cats... He did give the Kohler an inspection, I think it passed.

Kraig M. VERY nice job of plowing. Are thse Deestones perhaps?

I didn't get a chance to try the welder. By the time I got the mower put on and the lawns mowed all the dust and wind sure plugged up my sinuses. Plus, Angel and I think that Fancy's little kitten may have brothers and sisters in the garage. So tomorrow it looks like stuff will be moved around in the garage very carefully to do a search. Angel thinks in the attic area. We both heard a kitten meow this afternoon only we checked everything outside and couldn't find anything. Oh, well... I need to get things arranged in the garage again anyway.

Marlin, thanks, the garden soil plows really nice and makes it look like I know what I'm doing...

It was probably a tad on the wet side to be plowing but I really needed to get a spot ready to plant the garlic so I only did that little bit and left the rest of the garden for spring. Nope, not Deestones. The brand is an Asian sounding name that starts with an S. I'll check tomorrow and post the name.

Kraig-
with all that power, you might what to put some more bolts in the wheel weights ,,,

 

[mfournier]

ID all steel cab. I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this as I don't know what year or what model this fits. I bought it thinking it might fit my Lo Boy. It doesn't but it's obviously IH. Can anyone tell me what model it fits?

I'm very proud to say Steven III (9) was able to take the 782 and 10" plow out by himself today at PD (revisited) and did very well. After a few rounds he had it figured out and was doing a nice safe job of plowing. (I still made sure I followed him in the furrow with the 2072 to make sure I wasn't too far away as he learned)

I think Big Steve and I were smiling just as much, if not more, than he was as we made a few rounds together!!!! GREAT DAY!!!!!!

(pics to follow, Mom has them on her camera)

Chris E. and I plowed Mom's gardens after we finished up in the field this afternoon...results look a lot like Kraigs, but with a little blacker dirt

Kraig,

Looks like K4K likes it's new shoes!!!!

Very nice "O" Kraig,
Plowing looks good also.

I see you had a great day, I like to turn a little dirt as well. Charlie send me a key fob awhile back and I`am saving it for my Original when I get it painted. I thought I was the only one who just used 2 bolts for wheel weights. They seem to hold up real good with just two. Today I was filling up the new Cub storage with all the sub frames from all the cubs I have here. I will have to put the three snow blades and some decks in there also.The shed is filling up fast and I think everyone should have a storage area like Charlies has.

I did have my 149 out for a drive , The stack muffler I got for Art A , thanks , the sound of that always make me smile .We are to get more rain in the am and I hope it holds off till I get the 125 inside so when i`am ready I can get the engine installed and have that running.

My internet provide came up with a special $9.95 a month for 30 meg service, I might have to give that a try and see if it worth the jump from 15.
