Re: Bought a Yellow and white 982 oddball

I saw that one on the site, I was working down at George Washington birthplace at the time just 45 minutes south of Fredericksburg . Was gonna get it but left Thursday evening pickup was Friday. I don’t think that’s factory yellow paint, you can see red under the IH serial plate. Cast iron rear, eve...

Johnson loader fluid fill

Picked up this loader tractor. Johnson workhorse loader. Was shown where to fill up the hydraulic fluid by previous owner. Can’t get it off, cap just spins, can’t get the male adapter out. Any ideas?

Re: C-48 sweepster

No more detailed pictures of the shaft or mounts, it has a metal cover not plastic like I have seen for the garden tractors. I figured that was half of the drive shaft, didn’t want to drive that far and not be able to hook it up because I can’t find parts. I’ll likely just keep on the hunt for one f...

C-48 sweepster

Located a C-48 model sweepster, but the owner doesn’t know what tractor it fits. Sent me a picture of this shaft, so it’s not belt driven it appears. Anyone know anything about these. It’s 6 hrs north of me otherwise I’d go regardless and pick it up and gamble it’ll fit, still may anyways.

Haha, yeah I definitely suffer from cub fever.

I definitely see a spike in cub fever during the spring turkey season...

Re: 1811

I think it was a replacement as well. Was a bear to get the mule drive and deck off, normally takes me 30 seconds. I’ve got a 44c I’ll throw under it, probably sell that 46” deck that came with it .Gonna clean it up tonight hopefully. Not a bad investment for $50

1811

Found this 2 owner, low hour 1811. Owner grew frustrated with it after it wouldn’t start with a new starter solenoid. It sat for 1 1/2 Year’s. Turns out it wasn’t grounded properly. Runs awesome. Gonna yank engine and clean it up nice. Too nice to part, it’ll sell or sit in the boneyard

50c deck keeps clogging

Have a 50c mower deck. It’s ran by a 682 with an 18 mag. It does not matter the condition or height of the grass, but the farthest blade away from the chute is always clogged with grass. I have gator blades on currently which didn’t seem to change the condition. I have sanded the deck to bare metal....

Re: Fuel Tank Shut-off Valve ???

Why drain the tank? Do you have the factory style petcock on the tank? If so there is a filter protruding into the tank that can get clogged, I don't run any other filter. I always shut the valve off, remove the four bolts from the dash and remove the two 5/16 screws from the vanity plates (if yours...

A 782 with a series II, starts up and runs well, pto engages,mows grass well. After maybe 30 minutes if I stop and turn off the pto, it won't re-engage. Next day when cold it will. It will continue to operate perfect until I shut it off, then that's when the issues start. If I shut engine off after ...

Re: Backfiring engine

Could very well be the exhaust valves. Check the ignition points are timed properly, and the carb is tuned correctly as well. Improperly timed points can cause a backfire through the exhaust

Re: cub cadet 102 loses battery charge and whats it worth?

Depends on options such as headlights, creeper gear, sleeve hitch and hydraulic lift were all optional that add value. Condition, I prefer original, if it's been worked over with a rattle can they don't mean as much to me.
