Look what followed me home

[dschwandt]

Good Grief...
Does this ever end!!
104 w/rotten tires, a deck and blade
Needs carb work, new sediment bowl & shut off, a seat & rear axle seals, (got that done today already) And it fires on carb cleaner. PO claims to have overhauled it years ago and does not have many hours on it since. Has been setting in a corn crib for years.

And then there is this...
Roper/Sears SS/16 gear drive w/hi-Lo
Mostly complete, has spark plug thread issues in head.

Oh Dave,
Does the wife know the head count in the herd?

 

[mgwin]

Charlie didn't get em all!

This stuff followed me home today.

I may have to go back and get more stuff!

Along with the parts tractor.

 

[wshytle]

Marty-

Did this stuff come from "Stoneville"? That planter could be worth some serious bucks from what I've seen in the past. It looks to be in good shape.

I think I see another 128 restore coming.

[mgwin]

Wayne,

No you don't!!!

I have about six other cubs, along with six attachments waiting to be redone!

No refurb on this one. Bought it for backup parts.

Yes, this did come from Stoneville. he had a turning plow with no coulter disc, a complete rear tiller for a wide frame, and a front blade.
I have three turning plows and three front blades, so I did not need any of that.
The tiller looked real nice, but I don't really need that either.
The planter looks real good (other than the paint), and I did not see any rust. Everything turns free, and appears to work fine.
I definitely will refurbish it for my collection.

I see Your K301A has an Actual "Tag", The149 that followed me home has a "sticker" on the K321A. Just wondering if this is typical of the Later Model Kohlers or some sign of a possible Rebuild, Overhaul, or Engine Swap?

Any Thoughts?

Thanks

 

[mgonitzke]

Kohler started using stickers for the tags about that time, so that is original.

 

[mgwin]

OK,OK, All the nice pics on the main forum finally motivated me to take some pics.

Here is a sad cub I rescued the other day:

Didn't care too much for the tractor, but I like the goodies that were on it.

 

[mhomrighausen]

Marty G. Fancy says that he'll gladly take the front blade off your hands.

Good rescue though. Congratulations.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Marty, nice find!

 

[dschwandt]

THAT is SAD!!!???
Sure don't look too sad from where I sit!!
Great find!!

 

[mgwin]

David,

Look closer.
See the non-cub seat? What about the white fenders with holes in them, silver oil bath air filter, miss-matched rear tires, non-cub shift knob, paint brush paint job, and worst of all this:

That is sad!

 

[dschwandt]

Sure lots better thn the one I go!
has 2 holes in ot also, but they are huge!
One is about 3" dia.
Yours will be easily fixed being that small! At least you HAVE the correct air cleaner. You can see by mine that fenders meant for a 70/100 don't fit too well on an "0"!!
Good luck with it. They are neat old machines.
I have a BB1 thrower mounted on mine and it really does a fine job.
Here's a pic of it in the front yard nose to nose w/the 126 I just finished. That's the hood for the "0" on the picture I posted a few days back along w/the 126 hood, we had just got those finished in time for the 4th parade.

 

[brhodes]

OK

Did not have time to look them over very well.
I think they are doable but not in good shape. Most likely a winter project.

Had to take two trips.

I need a bigger trailer.

the 122 with the two 102s. Liam just might turn out to be a gear head.

Does not run, or shift, Mower deck looks to be good.

Not sure about the pump yet.

This one runs and moves, but has blow by. The seat does not feel cracked has the rear lift.

He did not want the snow thrower

Marlin / Joshua.

I think you both are right. This may be more of a rescue mission, but one I will like.

Bill

 

[mhomrighausen]

Bill R. You did great rescuing them and you will love being a gear head. I need to find time to get the replacement engine in Clarence (102) governor set. I just can't seem to have enough time anymore. I'll have to make time.

Fancy claims Kitty Dibbies on the hydraulic lift.

 

[fcurrier]

They just keep coming in. I'm not going to name this one!

Frank,

[rwjohnson]

This Forum confuses me? I see active through??? Then I don't see where to post a question, sorry to the OP of this thread. Is there something I'm not seeing?

 

[fcurrier]

Ronald: No worries. A question about your 122 should be posted in the main forum. IH Cub Cadet Forum, top of the list.
