Cables are still available. Just got a new throttle cable from Messicks for my 1572. I think the shutdown said available too.

Re: Predator Engines

Add another predator to my list. The five horse Briggs on my trac-vac finally died doing leaves. I put on a 6 horse predator. Everything bolted right up for the vac perfectly but had to modify the exhaust on the new engine. It works great and will load twice as many leaves between fill ups

Ok here's the finished product, all works great but the real test will come at plow day in the spring. I have a few finishing adjustments to do to the Brinly hoop and have to make some lift straps.

Thanks Dave, I guess I should show my cardboard template I started with. The cool part is it's all made from scraps from under one of the welders workbenches at my job. It also helps to have the equipment we have at work for metal fabrication.

782D Brinly 3 point rockshaft

Here's my try to custom make and install the cub cadet style 3 point on my 782D. I really didn't want to spend what everyone wants for a cat "0" three point and the A frame just to use my current Brinly attachments. I will add pics as I go until it is done.

Re: MD Line VFC Tractor & Engine show

Dave the 147 has loaded rear tires with weights that are at least 75# plus my big but. Usually around 1425 but I didn't have on my front weight for plowing. Next mission is to get Tom to bring one to this show next year...he could almost drive one there
