A great video and a real nice Cub Cadet

PAUL B. - I'll have to take a closer look at the 70 at the clutch pedal shaft bushings. It's missing a part or two like the bottom frame dust shield & clutch cover. See if I can find any evidence of how they were attached.

RONALD B. - re: lift lever on a 1250, I'm not real familiar with the Q/L tractors but I think the lever itself is attached to the ond of the rockshaft bar with a 1/4" dia roll pin. You should see the ends of the roll pin in the cast end of the lever at the bottom. I had a 129 for a long time and that's how it was.
 
I had never known of this type of welding. Very interesting. How about the threaded part in the rear cover that receives the plug.

No welding going on there. Is it just a press fit?

Speaking of the rear cover plate, I "worked" it for a while to get it and the bolt holes flat.

Got the S/G all apart and the shell painted.

Going into the hydro next. I've purchased surgical gloves for the operation. LOL.

Oh...... thanks very much Gerry for the FAQ. I referred to it several times.
 
Denny F...I hope you know I meant that as an immense compliment....you are a walking manufacturing encyclopedia....what an asset and a treasure you are here....Thanks for taking the time to help us.

I was able to static time a 12hp and a 14hp today...install them both...then the honey-do's took over...oh, well 1/2 the day was a blast.!!
 
Worked a little on the 147 today before mowing some lawns with the 125. I removed the present 23x10.50x12s in favor of these 10.50s.

Some PO did a poor trunion repair job. I may just replace the whole hydro on this one for now and then down the road totally rebuild this hydro from the ground up.

thanks everyone for the help on identifying the PTO clutch on the 129.
It looked to me like there was no way to run linkage to the clutch, like the 128, so i thought it was some odd type clutch. or some kind of a PO mess.
since you guys convinced me it is a normal clutch, i bought the tractor.
have not decided what to do with it yet. 128 needs an engine, but I might keep the 129 and buy another engine for the 128.
or I could just give up on the 128 with the stalling problem from hell and put the PTO clutch from the 128 on the 129.
decisions decisions.
guess I should start by disassembling and inspecting the PTO clutch on the 129, see if any of it can be saved.
so, off to read the service manual.
 
Charlie "Digger" Proctor (Cproctor)

that is nothing, I was just going to ask if anyone knew what that switch was on my 129 and "jerry harvey "Nines are wild" (Jharvey)" answered the question before I could ask it.
 
disconnected safety switches.

safety and inconvenience aside, anyone know of any problems occurring if you disconnect safety switches?

In figuring out what that switch was on my 129(PTO safety) i realized my 128, with the stalling problem from hell, does not have this switch and other safety switches were jumped when I bought the tractor.

could my stalling problem be caused by a missing safety? or a jumper over heating?

just wondering if you guys have had any stalling problems traced to missing or jumped safeties.
 
RICK A. - I knew what you were saying.... I just think there's some people somewhere who may not agree, but I sure appreciate your vote of confidence.

RICHARD T. - I've had some of those rearend drain plugs that were REALLY tight, and I've never heard of one spinning the threaded insert in the cover. I think there may be a "pilot diameter" inside the hole to locate the threaded insert, but since it had to be an oil-tight seal I think there's some sort of permanent method used to attach the insets to the covers.

We've actually come up with a LOT of different places IH installed bearings or bushings on these old CC's, two on the clutch/brake pedals, two on the frt axle pivot, one on the rear cover, and I think the WF tractors had a couple on the steering column for the PTO & hyd. levers.

I've got an old scrap 123 chassis behind the shop I should actually investigate on, take a "BFH", a punch & chisel, try to knock one of those bushings off and see what happens.
