The two most common points of leaks are the valves as noted. They are on the top of the transmission 1” hex shaped and are just under the front lip of the fender. They only leak when the tractor is running. OR:::: The dreaded cork gasket between the transmission and rear end. The whole rear needs to...

Ken has a home made Doodle bug tractor from
A crossly car. I believe a family friend built it back in the 60’s. Cool to see… I believe it does 40 or so MPH

Better yet he picks up my cans and delivers them back full!

An hour and 20 minutes each way. Lucky I have a friend with a camp out that way…

Dag you should have bought a manual chain fall. Rated for 1 ton is enough for your cubs. Then like Tom said get a jack stand under the load before you go u set the load!

Ken
Dag has a great idea there… next time my wife wants a weekend away, I’m coming up! What’s your address again?

Ken Think of it this way, we could have all gone to your memorial! I recently lost my father this way, do what they say and keep up with the diet and exercise as prescribed. Best you go north Sunday and find a nice spot to sleep in the car! I was in SW CT, I didn’t feel a thing and kept Working unti...

Ken
How did you fair in the latest spring storm? Just 2” of slush at my house and it’s mostly gone 24 hours later.

Welcome!

Hopefully Tim has you on track?

I do agree pictures are a great addition!

Ken
The fair grounds are about 2 miles off exit 232. Well worth stopping in! I’m sure there are going to be several faces you have meet over the years in attendance!

It’s the same days as “red power showdown”. Will we see anyone in Bloomsburg?

Mike these are for the rear rake/blade.

Craig I might have a spare set, I can look. Send me a email….

While I wait for the turkey to kick in zzzzz

I wanted to say happy thanksgiving

Nice haul, put that 682 back together!

Another parts lost from a different place for the seals…. I like the prices from 3 years ago better!

Someone on FB asked the same, I responded the same! They posted back and said 46$ in 2023 money and still available.

Steve
I looked up the special tubes, for a 3000 series plow/blower set up back in the spring and they where still available.

Tom is correct 60” for supers only. The yellow ones are for the newer tractors with 6” PTO

The inside steel part of the dash will accommodate the second valve. You will need to cut the plastic part to fit it in.

Wow 4 hours! I have heard that there are none out there….
Looks like those parts are for a lawn tractor from the 80’s but i could be wrong.

Yes you can! You would need to start by finding a second valve body for the cyclops series, ideally this has the handle and linkage. The 2 valves get stacked between them you would need a short nipple, as of last spring these where still available from cub/MTD. I’m not sure but I believe the lines a...

It’s not so much newer, it something with better support. Older Deere Kubota and new Holland all should have support for equipment if this era. I believe that mahindra or built your tractor.

Just a warning I skimmed the last few posts….

Unplug the engine from the tractor!
Attempt to start engine, provided you don’t un-wire the starter it will crank over. This will let you oinow if it’s coil or tractor.
My vote is a key switch issue

Scratch that trip to Oneonta, the item I was look g at sold….

I would compare the schematic for the 782 and your harness. If someone changed the harness with the engine and key switch then order a switch from a 1811. If they added a relay to your harness, then use the switch you already bought. I believe the ch18 has a white wire going to the coils, unplug the...

I’m Not sure who made the 7000’s and 6000’s for Cub. Either way they might still have it under their part number. If not, try to find a machine shop that could make them for both of you! My father did this for a 70’s vintage yanmar he has, it seams he has the ultra rare “heavy duty” front end….

The spinning sound is probably the starter spinning but the gear not engaging the flywheel. My 1882 does this. The starter really should come out and get some dry lube on it. That’s a project though as the engine needs to come out for this.

Ken
Just checking in? How wet are things? More rain today? Zagray was hot yesterday, but a wash today… several more inches today. Hopefully you guys up north don’t get any more!

I’ve seen bad cork gaskets and broke pick up tubes. Pick up tubes can be cut out and the 2 part ones can be installed in chassis, or the big loopy one would need to be done on the bench.

Ken
If you want parts, Spindles etc let me
Know I can flat rate them up. Nice job on the blades. I prefer to use the chop saw then sharpen and balance.
