Re: Rear tires 6x12

The price has gone up since I bought one, but here's where I got my last tire:

Re: IH rock rake dimensions

Kevin, it's 42" wide. The main section consists of a 1" X 3" channel "nested" on a 1" X 4 1/4" angle. The rake teeth go over the 4 1/4" section of the angle and have a section that turns up against the 1" section. The channel sets on top and holds them down. The only "squirrely" part is the rear of ...

Bryan, have you also graduated to a goose neck trailer? From what I can see in the picture, that's quite an upgrade from your other trailer.

Re: cub cadet 682 no spark

On the negative side of the coil, the test light should be on with the points open and off when the points close. If the light stays on with the points closed, you're not getting continuity through the points. You need to do more work cleaning the points.

Stretched Cub Cadet

Several years ago I built my wife a stretched Cub Cadet to use for gardening and yard work. She didn’t particularly care for the hydrostatic drive. And, because our place is pretty hilly, she really didn’t like parking it. She’d been after me to redo it as a gear drive for several years, and I final...

Re: removal of old badly rusted set screws

Oh, and several organizations have done studies of the best penetrating oil. The unanimous opinion is that a 50/50 combination of acetone and automatic transmission fluid is the best and cheapest you can get. Of course it's very flammable and should be used with caution.

Re: removal of old badly rusted set screws

Andrew, the bottom of those set screws aren't that close to the crankshaft. You're more in danger of breaking the bit when you catch the side of the bearing.

Re: E-Z Rake Dethatcher

We located it in Ohio and had it shipped by Fastenal. I'm more impressed by Fastenal every time I use it.

Sorry, but the expression "saddle a dead horse" is completely foreign to me??? To me that would mean you're mounting something on something that's not going anywhere???

E-Z Rake Dethatcher

We’ve been looking for a front-mounted E-Z Rake Dethatcher for some time. We really wanted one that drives off the Cub Cadet’s front PTO, but this one will have to do until we can find a sale or trade for a front PTO model. There’s a video of it in use here: http://www.cubcadetman.com/cc/videos/sde-...

Bruce, try putting a block heater on the hydro rear end and warm it up before trying to start. It works for me. You should be able to pick up a block heater at any automotive or tractor implement supply.
