Todd, I'm not quite sure what's going on myself, I have never given the IH-55053-C1 a try on my QA42 but maybe I should. I was never very impressed with the power transfer from the one I show in the view- the two that I tried seemed to slip a lot under tough, heavy wet snow conditions. They did hold...

Interesting, my dealer has insisted on more than one occasion this is the one to use for that particular application. If he is wrong then what would this one meant to be used for?

A good topic indeed. I still have it today :D After a ten year stint repairing and rebuilding tractors and attachments for my Father in law at his farm (all International products), I purchased my first Cub, a 100 on Thanksgiving week 1984. It was in rough shape but by the following Summer and much ...

That's quite a find Rick, the condition is really something too. I have never seen one other than pictures

Dave, it's good to hear that things are starting to return to normal for all you guys. JoeM, EngineMike, JohnN, along with all the rest out that way good luck to you. This time around we were very lucky here and that's highly out of place, the lights never even flickered however toward town they wit...

I purchased one from a group member that was very reasonably priced and in nice condition too. There was quite a wobble to it upon mounting to the shaft. Inspection with econo pins showed that it had been bored to .508. That's way too loose. My solution to this was chucking it into a lathe and press...

Dude, where's my tractor??
I'm not sure how much- 12+ anyway The little 102 had it's chance to shine today

It's 5:45 PM
Do you know where your Cub is

Well, as far as I'm concerned it's way too early in the season for this kind of nonsense. :evil: The highway department people and contractors here have their hands tied fixing our washed out roads with rock and fill after the hurricane- now that window of time is being slammed off on them. I have n...

Yeah! Dark blue zone- 9+! Oh boy Oh boy Oh boy!!

Bring that up by one day

Vince,
Be careful.
You will be amazed by the amount of BOOM! a totally empty gas tank can produce when sweating it apart
Do it outside, face the filler spout away from you, and wear glasses. Make that a face shield instead

They are a good machine. One of the less common models made. At the time the hydros were becoming more fashionable hence roughly four times as many 127's were made. According to the posted production figures 5247 of the 126's were produced. Here's mine waiting for the first snowflake to fall out of ...

Here you go John

CCW looking at pulley is correct rotation. Where did you get this unit and what is the number on the case tag? While not a guarantee, checking the S/G tag number is a beginning point, common numbers for Cub are 1101996, 1101997, 1101691, or 1101692. There are some others but these seem to prevail. T...

Seems the driveshaft got loose and it bored into the side of the chain tension, look at those sprocket teeth It's always good to have a spare laying around
All better now-

Last Winter got pretty intense around here and brutal conditions called for desperate measures, that poor freshly repaired auger really got blasted this time around- one of the paddles is even bent. DSCN1161.JPG The blades needed to be straightened out and welded at 3 of the 4 places and also a piec...

They weigh 20 pounds each. Plus 4 Cub weights on the tires. I could have hung a couple more on the inside of the tires but skipped that.

For this one time the decks are ready to use in the Spring-

I decided to make today my last cutting for the year. Be that as it may I pulled the deck off and gave it a decent cleaning up before storage. DSCN1153.JPG Since I had already managed to get myself filthy why not go on and mount up the blade? DSCN1151.JPG Here's the traction setup that I will be run...

Ben, 40MM O.D. x 17MM I.D. x 12MM thickness are the dimension of the bearing used for a starter generator. When using a replacement sealed version of that bearing at the pulley side of a starter generator, the old circular stamped bearing dust shield (I'm not talking about the tri oval felt retainer...

I did a lot of experimenting with platinum plugs in these engines around seven years ago. At that time Autolite was making a platinum plug which was a direct replacement in size, reach, and heat range for the Champion H-10. Everyone is entitled to do what ever they like, however my conclusion was th...

I finished that miserable job today so I can't provide a length I suppose that you will just have to guess Jeff :lol: However having had gone the old truck chain route as well there are some left over links on hand to look at- DSCN1145.JPG I did let the air out of the tires before mounting- That mad...

This year I'm going give these Kenda 10.5s mounted on 8.5 wheels at try- they are getting fitted with 2 link chains with cross bars. I bought them some years ago to run in a stock class pulling club that only allowed turf tires. While they are a bit wider than what I wanted they are only laying arou...

While it may be 80 degrees here with a dew point about the same it's time for me to start preparing for the Winter season. I have one, maybe two cuttings left for the season. Today, I pulled the blade off the 126 and mounted the thrower gear box in place. It has just been rebuilt with 2 new outer be...

Good to see you posting Grant
I had some concerns about your condition after Irene came to town.
At least the apple crop should be juicy this year
You might consider going with this-

We had one devil of a lightning storm here yesterday, a bolt touched down a short distance from our power junction line and it tripped off the on pole fuse link. The power company came out promptly and closed it. However, the electric has gone off multiple times since then. Internet and telephone se...

We were just lucky, that's all. This shot taken less than two miles from our home. The tractor washed into the barn is a 9N or something close with a bucket loader. A house used to stand in the mud field. DSCN1129.JPG I see no point in posting additional photos of others people's misery, the stream ...

We got back on the power grid a couple hours ago, I did not want to run the computer off the generator. The landscape here has been changed forever I know many friends and coworkers that are now homeless, one only two miles down the road. The ground was too saturated and there was no place for the w...

Kevin, you probably already know this but I suppose it's worth repeating Check the serial # tag to verify if it is a true 169. A 129 will have a four digit machine code of 0046, a 149 will be 0047 and a 169 will be 0048. Yeah, I'm looking inside of a barn at one of those things too Maybe I will mayb...

Earthquakes- hurricanes, what's next?? map_specnews15_ltst_4namus_enus_600x338.jpg My Son just came home with this thing to replace the 3500w so we are good if the roof don't blow off or the house don't tumble down the hill DSCN1125.JPG The storm I remember best was Donna back in 60 and my Mother te...
