Re: What did you do with your cub today?

I plowed snow with the 105, broke the throttle cable on the 104 just trying to move it from the garage to the barn(wife thinks she needs a car parked in our 3 car garage). I also use the QA 36 snow blower attached to the 149 that i bought from BIGMIke several years ago. I had it all hooked up last y...

Re: Snow Thrower question

The blower is up and running. I decided against changing the fan tonight. i figure this summer when i get time i can take the fenders off and power wash the pump and change fluids and oil before mowing season. Anyway the 105 is outfitted with chains and snow plow, and now the 149 is outfitted with a...

Re: Snow Thrower question

The Good news is i have figured out the proper length of lift rod to be 26 inches, I used a radiator clamp and piece of chain to test it out, but that clamps not made for that and the tiny shackle that i have wont fit on the blower end like the pictures above. so now the bad news. as i was testing t...

Re: Snow Thrower question

OK i pulled the tunnel cover off. everything moves i assume the way it should. 2 things i have seen to add here if i put a bolt in the float lock out it will bend the rod when hooked up the the snow blower going down, but i cant even begin to pick up the blower with the lift arm attached. the rock s...

Re: Any advice on chain saws

I bought a used Stihl MS 290 Farm Boss and i'm very happy with it. I dont use it every day but when i need it its a great saw. My advice if using a stihl is read the owners manual if its used go online they will send you a free manual in the mail. Run the highest octane fuel you can buy. If you are ...

Re: Snow Removal

Geezer, Glad to hear you were able to fix it. I didnt think it would take too much, but was just not a tractor that i wanted hanging around anymore. I'm glad it has gone to a good home where it can be brought back to life. With the ags that are on it and the power of the 14hp you should have no prob...
