New to me Cub Cadet 86
Hey guys, haven't posted in awhile. Been pretty busy between work and rebuilding the motor on the Farmall M. Did manage to pick up a Cub Cadet 86 back in the fall, and after some fixes it needed, have a solid little tractor! The key way was missing on the crank so the pully and basket weren't held i...

Re: Cub hauling trailer
Cal, I just sold my PJ that I had bought several years ago and it was powder coated. All in all, it was holding up pretty well except for 1 area. Inside the channel frame rails, it seems like the powder coat didn't cover very well and there was definitely some surface rust in there. The rest of it d...

Re: Repower 782 with M18
Mike, there should be a slot/bolt hole in the right side of the fire wall that the filter mounts to. Swap the 782 fire wall with the other one and you should be good to go!

Re: Cub Cadet 73
Just wanted to update everyone on the 73 project I've been working on. Got the motor installed, everything wired up and ready to roll, only to have an oil leak issue. Pulled the motor, fixed the leak (needed a new gasket on the oil pan....used Permatex instead!), got it re-installed andk got her run...

Oh and dag, as far as the monstrosity on the front, I'm assuming he put it on as a bumper of some kind. The bad thing is, it won't come off without being cut off the mule drive.

Re: Cub Cadet 73
Hey guys, thanks for the compliments! Everything on the tractor is in fact original, except the fenders, 3 pt and light panel. The seat is in amazingly good shape and has never been repaired. The best I could find out, the tractor had one owner for nearly all of it's life. He mowed with it for years...

Cub Cadet 73
After pondering it for awhile and finally seeing one come up for sale, I decided to pick up a Cub Cadet 73. There are a couple of reasons for it, but primarily my first Cub Cadet was a 73. I had an opportunity to purchase my original 73 a few years back, but the tractor was no longer in the conditio...

Here's a couple of plow day pics of the 3240. Even got ol' Vince out there on her! The 3240 definitely held it's own with all of the other tractors, and there's nothing like setting the cruise and just going along for the ride! Was very pleased with how it did overall!

Re: 1572 rear end
Since you are that far, you could also check around to find one that's not broken and replace as well. I found my adapter house for $50, tore down to where you are, reassembled and back in the tractor. Just keep in mind, it has to be the house for a Super as the gearing is different between the stan...

Re: 1811 back from the dead
What you can actually do is buy a 3 pt hitch for a 782 with the Frankenstein bolts and buy the lower bracket from xtreme motorworks designed for the aluminum rears. It will have 2 tabs that attach to the axle tubes as well as the back plate, which I've heard of people having good luck with. The 782 ...

Does anyone have pics of the correct set up for a Brinly Cat 0 plow on a Super? I have everything ordered to get my plow put together, but can't find a manual for a cat 0 plow, only the sleeve hitch plow. Any help would be appreciated!

Dave, I know what you mean about the price....tires are just too darn expensive!! These are 4 ply and I've had them awhile. They were originally on my 982 and I used a loader with it, never had a problem with them at all. 8 ply is overkill in my book, I'm not sure you could overwork a Super to that ...

Re: my new toy
Good suggestions Tom. I wasn't at all suggesting braces weren't an alternative route to go, unfortunately I don't have the ability to make them myself and I felt it was important to start with a solid housing first. I do like the idea of Permatex #2, I hadn't given that any consideration when I rein...

Re: my new toy
I didn't use additional braces when I fixed mine. I swapped out to a good, used housing ($50) and when I reassembled everything I used the red Loctite to ensure the bolts don't back out, especially where the front mounts are. This is what usually causes the mounts to break in the first place. I will...

Dave those are Carlisle Tru-Powers. I've gotten to the point I won't buy anything but Carlisles anymore, with the exception of V61s to go on the front.
