IH Farmall 140 Bumper Grill Guard
Can anyone tell me if the popular front bumper grill guard seen on most IH Farmall 140 tractors - especially in the southern states, is a IH part?

Re: SCAM ALERT !!!!!

Who knows what WalMart she claimed the money using the reference number I gave them after sending it. So yes, cameras most likely got her, but what's she look like??? Three police agencies told me t...

Re: SCAM ALERT !!!!!
Jeff: He called me after reading a story I did in LAGT Magazine about the 82 Series Cub Cadets. Then he offered me great prices on attachments he said his late father had. It was all a big lie. However, he does know tractors and can talk like he is OK. Since I posted the scam alert others have come ...

SCAM ALERT !!!!!
Stay clear of a guy selling tractor parts from a town south of Pittsburgh called Charleroi. PA. He used the name Bill Malandro and wife Lisa in my deal. Others scammed say he may also be Bill Stevenson. His game is to contact people offering them tractor parts and delivery by a trucker friend. Shipp...

Model of International Farmall 140
I'm looking for a 1/16th scale model of an International Farmall 140 with the restyled front grille - after 1963, and the square seat. Anyone have one for sale?

Replacement decals
I am repainting my 1974 International Farmall 140 tractor and will be replacing the decals too. I've seen some poor decals kits over the years that do not come close to what the originals looked like. Can somebody email me with where I can get good 140 decals?
Many thanks in advance.

Model 44-A Mower Deck Spindles needed
My Model 44-A Mower Deck has a center spindle that has developed a growel-like noise and I need to replace it. It is not sloppy and is still tight. This mower deck came on my 1650 brand new when I bought it back in 1979 and has never been apart. I believe this topic was discussed here in the past an...

Metal seat parts color for IH Farmall 140.
I am restoring the seat frame on my IH Farmall 140 tractor and have seen it shown in most photos as being painted black. However some have shown it red. I like the look of the red after the redone black seat and backrest cushions are in place. Does anyone know if red or black is correct, and what's ...

I checked their serial numbers and they do not indicate industrial tractors. Las...

Farmall Super-A proper oil level
I thought I'd check the oil level in my Super-A yesterday. I opened the lower test cock and no oil came out. So I added oil until it did - about a half quart. It could not have been down a lot because in February I changed the oil and filter. Today while using the tractor it started smoking terribly...

CC 1440 Mower Deck height adjustment modification
New is not better. We've all heard that and it is true in this case. Old Cub Cadets in my collection have an adjustable cam setting for setting the mower deck cutting height. My 1440 and 682 just have the lever with notched settings and no more cam. Each setting is a huge difference. A number 3 sett...

Re: PTO Switch
I spoke too soon. After thinking my PTO switch was OK after cleaning the contacts, today it would not engage the PTO again. So I replaced it with a new one $52.29. Yikes! Now it works good.

Re: PTO Switch
It looks like my problem has been solved by simply cleaning the contacts on the backside of the PTO switch. I also removed the cables from the relay and cleaned them. Thanks to Todd and others for your comments and help.

PTO Switch
In order to engage the PTO on my CC 1440 I must hold the switch up for some time and play with it moving it up and down (off and on position) until it finally kicks the PTO into operation. Does this sound like a bad switch? I'd hate to spend $51.29 for a new switch Part # 725-0893 if it is something...

Original 1961 Cub Cadet fender option
Here's one for you ORIGINAL CUB CADET experts. I was recently told that the 1961 Originals never had factory fenders on them because they were not offered as an option until 1962. I find this hard to believe because my 1961 Original only had one owner before me and he said it always had fenders. Any...

Re: PTO shuts off.
Today I was able to clear up my problem of the PTO shutting off by itself. The problem was the switch below the seat. It was far too sensitive and it's removed and the two wires connected together. Now only the PTO dash switch controls the PTO and nothing else. My 8 other CC do not have that feature...

Well guys, thanks for all the tips. It is the seat switch mechanism. I sat on the tractor with the PTO operating and a slight move of me on the seat toward the rear and OFF goes the PTO.

Those 982 (and other 82 Series tractors) grille springs are the greatest! How many 1961 - 1980 Cub Cadets have you seen with the grilles missing? Tons of them! It was because they were too difficult or time consuming to put back on once off. The springs make replacing the grilles on the 82 Series a ...

Re: A lucky, lucky guy
I roto-tilled my pager in the ground while doing several gardens in the springtime. Had not idea where. I backtracked each garden using my cell phone to page myself and quietly listening for it. I found it! It had been damaged some, but the FD replaced it for me.
