Well said Oldskull! The set of Peterson I have on the 149 has the bullseye lens but seem to magnify the set of T10 strobe bulbs I installed. Turn the lights on and non strobe mode, turn off and back on again and they strobe. I took on a job that the property required a tractor must have strobe ligh...

Back in the day (10 yrs ago) I got a set of Reflec-O-Lite's on ebay for $40 NOS...very hard to find these days. Since I have used Bargman 378 and/or Peterson. Bargman I think I had to solder a hot lead wire (and drill a hole thru the base for the wire). Peterson or PM has a hot lead and ground lead...

Put a Kubota in it and turbo it. :beer: 019 (Small).JPG 020 (Medium).JPG Hey Mike I didn't know if you made it over here or not! Good to see ya buddy! :) Those of you that don't know Mike.... well lets just say the man can make anything with steel.... ANYTHING.... And Mike does some nice Head light...

I built a headache rack for our Mule and at times I'll mount the Voodoo Tactical bag which fits perfectly on the rack and can be easily removed for hauling chores. Then later I added the gun rack. So now I can pack up to 3 long arms and 2 pistols w/bag and rack. No more banging my head on a gun rac...

This is a cool topic! Nice weaponry I see! Full auto,semi and bolt...that "lefty" caught my eye...my 12 yr old grandson is a left handed shooter. I did a course in armorer school when I was in the army and that got me hooked from there. That's when I fell in love w/the 1911A1 .45 ACP "match" builds...

Good input gentlemen on the issues at hand. My Quietline was a fence row find, my first restoration. If my wife knew the funds I spent on the machine, well it would be ugly for me. I would have to say of all models I have had it would be a tie w/the quietline's and the original. Runner up would be ...

6 ply Deestones from Tuckertire bought back in 2004. I don't know if they offer 6 ply anymore. Thanx for the compliments fellas~Also I need to give thanx and credit to a good friend that made the lift bar,lift bar/yoke bushing,lift block,lift pin(s)(several lengths)and two sets of Brinly adapter st...

Hey Denny, I have repaired several pan seats in the past and try to as much as possible to retain the circle. Also have been lucky enough to have a few w/no cracks but I will go ahead and do a small stitch weld on the bottom mounting bracket to help prevent any future stress. I lost a lot of my fil...

Finally installed a rear lift and spring assist on our 1250. About a year ago I brought home two front gang Brinly disc's. It took the two to make one good one. All parts sandblasted, primed and painted (including lift). There is major pitting on the frame and some on the disc plates, I could have ...

Have a chance to purchase a 169 w/hyd lift. I have owned only one prior and it had a manual lift. Most of us know that during production in 1974 IH ran short of the hyd lift hardware. Why did IH choose to rob Peter to pay Paul?...Meaning continued installing hyd lifts on the 149 rather than the 169...

Not only vintage cubs are my passion but I enjoy custom work w/my trusty Ruger 10-22 carbine rifles. I built this for my dad...I found a nice 1:9" twist 18" tapper barrel, lightened the bolt/charging action to cycle the newly returned .22 L CB @ 710 fps, super subsonic if you will. Trigger work : h...

Kevin Why dont you bring 1 or 2 down to plow day and show them off. Ill let you use one of mine to get dirty, LOL And a few years back I hauled a rake and box blade to ardin Nc show for someone up your way, is that the box blade I hauled? No Vince this box blade is one of six that nashcub (Steve Co...

You are too kind Jim! Hey gonna do the Red Power Roundup this year at the Allen County Fairgrounds~Lima,OH ...June 19,20,21,22!! I think I was about 15 yrs old the last time I was at the fairgrounds when my old man used to race 1/2 mile motorcycle flat track racing. He ran that AMA region back in t...

Brian Sell asked me to send pix of my 149 and a story last summer...I did and never thought anymore about it after concentrating a story,contact for him of Jude Sminkey's restored 71 w/loader/Georg Eisenberger's story. The winter issue of Cadet Connection laid on the dinner table for a few days for...

Paul,obviously the QL lite panel was added later. I have owned two 86's one of which did have the electric lift...what blew me away was in one of my dealer "options" brochures that the electric lift was higher than the hyd lift/pump option. Brochure is dated 1975. Question: Your 86 built in Dec.73 ...

Calvin, I had not noticed that before either, so you got me looking. I have an original Operator's Manual (orange and white cover) dated Revision 5, 2-73, that covers the 86, 108, 109, 128, 129, and 149, and a reprint Operator's Manual (gray/black/white cover) dated Revision 1, 6-74 that includes t...
