Where in North America is Jim, and what Cub Cadet items has he found there?

[jkoenig]

Oops! I forgot I was wearing my hat through airport security this morning, and the agent had to inspect the diamond carefully...

 

[jkoenig]

Pay no attention to that printing press I.D. plate thumbnail. Now how did that get in there?

 

[jkoenig]

As has been stated here many times, there is not much Cub Cadet action here in California, but it does have some topics of its own that I thought I should bring up:


I love California because every once in a while, you see a car that thinks it is still 1972 even if gas is $4.79/gallon.




Electric vehicles are supposed to lead the fight for clean, efficient energy conservation, right? How conservative do these electric charging stations look?

 

[Gage mcdaniel]

Not very conservent

I suspect these are next to the motel where you wait for them to recharge...just saying...

 

[jkoenig]

These were at a retail location. I have seen them at hotels. Usually four to six of them at the prime parking spots blocking out the internal combustion parkers...grrrr!

I visited my home for two days this weekend, and look what #2 and #3 sons brought home! It will sure be nice to have a compressor in the garage. Mine is in the basement. They want to start a powder coating business. For now they bought a blasting cabinet and this. Now they expect me to spend almost as much as their purchase price to wire this thing. There go the Cub Cadet funds!

 

[gary noblit]

Jim, wiring will be the cheapest part....where is the building that's going to house this business??? your garage???Time for father/son talks....pretty tho...

 

[John Wyrick]

Yeah, every time I have a wiring job, my mind says that won't cost much. Then I price the wire! Good for your sons starting a business. I love young entrepreneurs!

 

[jkoenig]

I am just hoping to get a few Cub Cadet parts through the blaster, and maybe find a powder coat recipe for Cub Cadet yelluh n white.

 

[jkoenig]

Checked CL in Lansing again, and now I see a Cub Loboy 154 w/mower for $750. Seller claims not to know any history except that its been in a barn for a while. Could be a good deal.

 

[Mark Evans]

Don’t to forget an easy drain for tank and line out for it !!!! And leave some room to adjust belt and change oil, I like a drain line to start with on pump !!!!!

I'm in Columbus, OH for a couple days this week where there is just rain so far, with a little bit of leftover snow piled in the parking lots. Winter storm warning now and goes for two days.

At home in St. Louis, I’m told #3 son has plowed most of the neighborhood with the 782. Dang kid stealing my fun! I guess that’s fair. He welded up the worn out shoe, and fitted the new cutting edge to the tired old dozer blade.

I have now found out that he was plowing the roads!?!? I thought he woulda been plowing driveways to make a few bucks, but no...

 

[jkoenig]

Uh oh! My flight outta Columbus is delayed. I am anxious to get out of here, to get home, and to play in the snow.

This week I am in California. First Temecula, then Napa. Temecula has exactly one IH Cub Cadet (an original) in the nearbys, and a 1954 IH pickup on CL. That’s all I saw, and to top it off, my company’s replacement parts are not fitting. It seems the current bearings (the ones we can get with these supply chain issues going on) have a beveled seal, and the original bearings had squared off edges. The bevel is dragging on the retaining edges of the pulley they fit in. It’s gonna be a good week.


Oh yeah, who broke the forum?!?!

 

[John Wyrick]

There are so many frustrating things...Hang in there. I asked for a quote for a metal building for our neighborhood. I was told "you are on the list, it will be 8-9 months and we will tell you the current price at that time. You might not want it."

 

[jkoenig]

Wow! This is just work. It can only be awkward for a limited time. 8 or 9 months is too long to have to wait for personal good stuff!

 

[jkoenig]

I was supposed to go to Cleveland this week where I expected to find lots of IH stuff listed, but supply chain problems got in the way. I am in Tampa and I was surprised to find an IH bear for sale on CL in Ocala.

I knew of these, but had never seen one listed before. Is the paint correct?

 

[jkoenig]

Today I'm in Chicagoland, and CL has an 1811 w/deck for $200! It must not run because the ad says it is not locked up. I wish I had a truck this week. I don't think it will fit in the Compass rental.

There is also a generator with a KT-17 with the same spec number as my 782.
