I picked this up in the mid 90s for cheap from the DCM ( formerly Civilian Marksmanship Division ). This was when it was a total "crap shoot" on what you ended up with. In my paperwork I included a hand written note asking for either an International Harvester or a Harrington and Richardson and than...

Thanks for figuring "it" out. During the problem, I would go to log in, enter my info, hit enter and have to start all over again

Glad I could help. They make fancy file kits that will only cut in specific hardness ranges but they are a few $$$ Although everybody wants "super tough" and high strength material, sometimes it's better to use something on the "softer" side as that material absorbs shock better and will slightly de...

Ken He said the finish was not polished. He also said something about the hardening was 1/32. Something else about the holes shink a bit so the spiral pins might be hard to install. I’ll try the file test tomorrow. Do the file test. If it cuts, you'll be fine. If it "zings" and knocks the edge off ...

I can make a new driveshaft for you. Also check the rear pump coupler for excessive wear where the 3/8" driveshaft diameter fits in. At the engine, check to see if the drive hub is still in good shape. Once the driveshaft starts wobbling, it wears the slots. It would be more cost effective to replac...

Pretty much any NF attachment will fit. You can ever use the quick attach attachments but you will have to bolt them on ( no big deal, the holes are the same). One winter I had an engine problem with my 125 and put my QA-42 snow thrower on my 122. Bolted it up and off I went.

If decide you want to upgrade to a CV driveshaft, I make the adapters you'll need plus can shorten the CV driveshaft to the length you specify.

Went thru the thread from the beginning, it seems your title is a bit "deceptive" Baker farm got a BIG Upgrade this week. would be at least FOUR upgrades.

Congrats, a lot of nice workhorses you picked up.

Last pic, I see you found out they use 1/2-13 bolts to hold it together

One year I was clearing snow and found a 1/2-13 bolt in the driveway. When I got to a heavier snow area, I found out where it went

I’ll stand by what I said about light fluffy stuff best for the single stage. Wet is no good! If your using one as your primary snow mover, like ken said have a Plow on another. Not sure where you are in VA but the closer you are to the ocean I’m guessing the water/faster melt. You might be able to...

Imho Single stage bowers are a pain! From what I hear/read they only work in the dry stuff from the mid-west. They sure as heck don’t work on the graveyard wet stuff in the north east! I should add that I only used a Qa42 once on a hydro lift 125 about 20 years ago now. I switched to a Plow after o...

We got oil about a month ago ( 661 gallons :o ) @ 2.399 gallon plus have about 1-1/2 ton of chestnut coal. I'll get another ton within a month. Propane tank was just filled too. I'm lucky enough to have two 125's so I have one set up for mowing and the other for snow duty. my wife has a 07 tahoe tha...

I'll pray for your wife and you too. In addition to being strong for your wife, make sure you get some "decompress" time for yourself too. You need to be around both right now and as she recovers. My wife is a breast cancer survivor ( over 6 years now ) and I know first hand how helpless you can fee...

Thanks!

I copied the picture, pulled it up in "paint" and cropped it to just remove the bottom where TD but their logo on your picture.

How's that?

You are much too kind with that comment.

It's a good thing that "custom" emblem was attached to the hood. I just wasn't sure

Nice! Kinda wish I needed one of those :lol: I'm not sure I trust you to make the rockshaft support. Maybe we should find someone with a little more experience :shock: :lol: Even trying to hold a specific size on lathe built in 1942 is easier than some of the parts I made at work. The govt is might...

With the help of a sample from another Cub Cadet enthusiast, I made up a mower deck spindle for the 325 and 374 decks. Turned a piece of 4130 steel alloy 1228171851-00.jpg Plus drilled and tapped both ends, cut a 1/4" keyway and drilled a grease hole. 1230171920-00.jpg 1230171920-01.jpg I also made ...

Lots of good info here. Thanks guys!

Not sure where I would find your IMC? Jeff You gota get tom to get you his s...

Now....if someone can get some specs on the rock strap..... that would be great! I need a few of those. I'm surprised no one has made some for sale. Jeff in pa..... :lol: Jeff needs dimensions. I started with a new company at the end of March 2017 ( after 29 years at my previous employer ). The new...
