Well I guess you could say I like guns. Here are a couple of my favorites I own. CaptMax http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww139/CaptMaxII/DSCN5507_zpsf88c26b6.jpg http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww139/CaptMaxII/DSCN3169.jpg http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww139/CaptMaxII/DSCN4201.jpg

Max , Nice..... :beer: Just a couple of questions , does that piece of steel across the front of the 70's deck affect the mowers cut ? I would think it might aid in creating an updraft to raise the blades of grass ? Doesn't seem to effect the cutting but it does strengthen the front of the deck if ...

Thanks for the comments guys, I plan on doing a restoration on the 70 over the winter. Hope it will be ready to mow in style come springtime.
That is a beautiful 71 you have there by the way, sure hope mine turns out as nice as that!

I just added a second Cub to my garage. It is a nice little 70 with a great running motor (wrong air cleaner & seat I know). Luckily it had the creeper gear and new AG tires. I've since located a correct pan seat and the rear reflectors. This 70 will be my summer machine, the 102 will do winter duty...

How many pounds of lead is that hanging out back? Looks like a nice amount.
CaptMax

Ray, you sure come to find some nice stuff!
Will these be for sale anytime soon?
CaptMax

Mike, I have a Brinly I could throw on the back, when and where is the plow day? I didn't read about that. Lew, Yes, I had a new grommet I used. A cab would be awesome if I can find one. My 102 is an early one and has the oops pedal, the hood spring w/loop on the battery box, and also the front heat...

Well today I got the snow thrower finished and mounted, as well as installed a set of lights I bought from a member here on the forum. I completely went through the snow thrower with new bearings, chain, U-joints, belt, ect. I also installed a new header decal when the lights were installed. Next sp...

I say you fix it up Lew. Look at the bright side of it, tires hold air, nice seat and grille, hood looks straight too. And there isn't too much surface rust!!! This would be a wonderful tractor if it were restored. TLC means tender loving care.................. not T rash, L oad, C art away!!!!! :lo...

JIm. If I recall thats called indexing spark plugs. I've done that 30 years ago on race cars. If it makes a difference in our little engines I dont know. I never bothered. As long as it wasn't a chump(champion) plug. Just screw it in. OK Lew and Chumlee will chime in!! Yes, it is called indexing. T...

No, but I would like to know where they found the embossed IH suitcase weights? I would like to find some of those for mine.
CaptMax

Looks factory fresh, you did a terrific job on that!

Hi randy I built a loader using the PF engineering plans for my 104 cub cadet it works great lifts about 500lbs and the plans were easy to follow .I did beef up the towers and arms, the spindle upgrade is a must not too difficult to do on a 149. My only other mods will be a remote 7gal oil tank beh...

We have a frost warning out just north of me tonight. I just started to get the snow thrower mounted yesterday too.
You can never be sure of the weather living in northern Michigan!
CaptMax

Ray, I only have one question. Whats in all those boxes?
CaptMax

Well I just finished rebuilding the gear box today and got it all painted and spit shined. I think it came out nicely. Here are some pictures of it. Now I'm just waiting on bearings and decals and I can reassemble everything else. Wonder what kind of snow mother nature will bring this Winter? CaptMa...

Cliff, The operators manual states that if you have a right angle gear box with an oil level plug you should use SAE-80 transmission oil. This is what I will be using. :beer: CaptMax Oops :oops: :oops: :oops: , that information was for the tiller gear box!! The snow thrower gear box had old grease ...

Best wishes at the show!!! I think it will be a "SHOW STOPPER".

The old "simple project turned total resto" routine. BTDT quite a few times :beer: . August must be Attachment Refurbish Month or something. Anyway, real nice looking thorough job there. With some good lubrication you've probably seen your last bit of trouble out of that thrower for 20-30 years the...

Thought I would post some pictures of my QA36 snow thrower restoration. What started as a little project, turned out to be a wee bit more. I ended up stripping my QA36 completely, sandblasting everything, priming/sealing it all, and then epoxy enamel paint. I have new needle bearings and auger beari...

I can think of a really nice one there I wouldn't mind owning, the guy is restoring the loader at the moment and is doing a fantastic job!
CaptMax

I wondered if anyone knew when IH changed from a two paddle auger to the four paddle auger for the CC, and what advantages there were or disadvantages? Also when rebuilding a snow thrower, besides new bearings and checking to make sure everything is in alignment is there any other advice anyone can ...

Looks great Jude. All these pictures is making me want one. I'll be sure to tell my wife it was all your fault.
CaptMax

Paul, Thank-you. I will check with Scott.
Regards, CaptMax

After restoring my QA36 snow thrower, what are my options for reproduction decals? I know I could have a printer custom make me some, but I would rather buy from a vendor online. Does anyone reproduce the " INTERNATIONAL " and " CADET " decals that I need? I also think there must have been a warning...

Yeah, and it looks funny without electrical wiring hanging all over, better just sell it to me Lou.
CaptMax

Yes, pretty sweet looking Cub. Like others said, I haven't seen a pull start yet either.
Hope I stumble upon a "round fender" with pull start and my name on it.
Nice tractor Lou.
