[digger]

All you guys voting for Rockford, IL. DO IT for crips sake, don't just set there and vote for it!

 

[gerickson]

Tom's gonna host Plow Day Charlie??? I think that's great!!! Do you suppose he will schedule it on his anniversary or a chocolate trip or something? HaHa.You ARE the man Tom.

Steve, I have titan tru power 10.5s on the 100 and 8.5s on the 122. Both work great, its more the weight that i worry about though. I have 3 cub weights on my landside of the 100 and 2 on the furrow side and she seems to go pretty good. even in that hard il dirt you guys have out there.

 

[mschwartz]

I don't think i can make Iowa but i can pull off IL but indiana would be especially nice

 

[roundy fendered cubs rule!]

Yeah, Matt! Indiana sounds perfect!

I have a couple of questions for everyone. Mr. Charles Ricketts (the engineer that developed the experimental/prototype hydro garden tractor in Hank's book) has expressed a strong interest in attending spring Plow Day next year if it is held in Rockford, Iowa. He presently owns a newer Cub Cadet only it is only equipped with a mower and snowblower. He would love to be able to plow and talk hydros and tractor stuff with everyone. If there is no pre-conflict schedule that is.

Okay, here are the questions. Would there be guys that would like to meet/visit with Mr. Ricketts? And would there be some guys willing to let him use their Cubs to plow with? He would love to try that with a hydro Cub. I told him he could use my less than perfect 125 only I am sure he would love to try a few more Cubs than just mine.

One more thing.... I am sure that Mr. Ricketts would love to plow with some of those Green tractors with that famed 15U pump in them.

 

[digger]

Marlin,
Tell him we would love to have him at any PD and I know for a fact that there will be more than one Cub at his disposal.
And if he has a special model he would like to plow with, we'll make sure that he has it.

 

[wheinsohn]

Marlin,
I am sure I will be there with my 1650 and 149 at least. He is more than welcome to hop on them and have some fun.

 

[rdehli]

Marlin he can take my 70 w/ hyd lift for a round or 2 also...

 

[rdehli]

Marlin by next spring I hope to have the 123 totally restored also . He can drive that aswell...

 

[mhomrighausen]

Thanks Guys. I'll be sure and tell Mr. Ricketts. He grew up on a farm with Allis Chalmers tractors. So even the A.C. people will even like visiting with him. And I found out this afternoon that some of the Massey Ferguson garden tractors had a Sunstrand pump in them. So, anyone with some of those out there? (Man, this could be one heck of a Plow Day.)

I'll try to make Spring Plow Day at Rockford, Iowa. It's nice having one that nearby for a change.
Tell Mr. Ricketts he would be welcome to take one of my green ones for a round if he'd like to. I'd even let him try out my black jd for that matter.

I got the stalling problem solved by cleaning the hot wire connections at the ignition switch.
