Bad news is the heater core went on the truck and I’ve yet to replace it. Look term forecast looks like I will be taking Friday off to play in t...

Re: original wiring

I’ve made harness from 14 gauge I believe the factory used 16 gauge. Battery cables would be thicker, think 6 or 8 gauge. If you have nothing, it might just be easier to buy a complete harness. Last I looked they where between 50-100$

Re: Electric Lift on an Aerator

Just an idea, why not put a brinly hitch on the front instead? Use the tractor to raise and lower as needed? I would guess it would work best on a tractor with hydro lift though.

I did not spend long, but I believe that it’s just NLA from cub, they appear to be available from the main Kohler distributors on line. Now they all might be working of old stock, or I may be completely off base!

Re: And I came home with two dollars

The cool part about w/f tractors is that you can do the pto after. No need to install the grill/hood. All of those parts are not really needed for testing. Just be aware, the grill is cast iron for a reason!

Re: And I came home with two dollars

Ken the pto kit is different (mike has them) use the WF triangle spring double them up. You may also have 1 or 2 neutral start switches, one for the clutch and one for the pto. Pto switch was a later s/n thing too.

Re: And I came home with two dollars

Pto brakes where later s/n tractors only. IMHO they are more trouble than they are worth. Rebuild the original pto and don’t try to convert. Hood hinge is a piano hinge they often fail. Last I checked they could be bought new reasonably, but that was a few years ago, I wouldn’t doubt that they have ...

You will find the 128 is very similar to the narrow frames, just a bit more access! Zagray is only a few weeks away, you should make the trip south for parts… put a list together and mike and I can set you straight!

Good tractor! It should not have diff. Lock, maybe the tin work was changed? Your link does not bring to a add, just the craigslist page for cub cadets. Nothing interchanges with your other cubs, it’s a complete re-design. Not a bad tractor if it has options keep it under 3k, if you have 5 already m...

Re: New to this forum, but not cubs!

Dag
Your right, the 154 lo-boys are 15hp the 184 are 18. Remember the lo-boys are cubs, cubs came out in 47, but where designed in the late 30’s. The war put a hood in things, they where first 7hp think they where made to replace horses on a 2-4 horse farm.

Re: 450, 451 and 551 Snowblower Application Notes...

Good news! Your reading to much into the pulley size, you have the 6” pulley! Mount the 451 and start blowing snow! The outside is what we are measuring when we say 4” or 6”, most of us are looking for quick/easy when we measure.
