Maybe Jim Chabot(sp?) is the up north guy? Jim Chabot, that is the Jim I was thinking of. Paul Bell, I cannot forget Geezer, The Tool Man, never did know his real name and there are others who escape my memory who were the "movers and shakers" of the IH Registry. Tom Scott? I have a lot of photos f...

Anyone know how many of the old IH Registry people are still around collecting or playing with their Cubs? What about The Mayor, Scott C, Jim from up North (Cannot recall his last name)? Is our hobby dying a slow death? Did not see anything on here about PA Plow Day this year. Seems since George Ran...

In my area Valspar paint is hard to find in enamel rattle cans. I found Valspar paint on the website I list below and they send it to some local hardware stores for you to pickup.

TSC has stopped selling the valspar paints that was As of 2015 +-. As for the quality I’m very happy with the results, about 3 coats for the yellow. I e been using the rustolum antique white and I’m happy with it as well. Only complaint with valspar is the tips clog if you only use a half a can. Ne...

Thanks

Are the above deck wheel brackets available? Is there a particular location on the front for them?

I have had good success with a QA42 on my Cub 147. I also have a Cub 70/100 with a 42" blade. The blade works well up to a 10" snow. I usually do not mount the blower until I hear the weather guessers call for over 10". I have used it in some wet snows. Got to keep the blower full of snow to get it ...

A second absolutely. Gotta have cast iron and steel equipment. My lawn mowing and snow equipment is all "old school".

Well what do you do with your Cubs to have fun? Up here we plow and blow snow.

I am not sure I know where over the rainbow is here in PA, but I like my Spam fried.

Well I had to eat my words. We ended up with 6.5" and I had to install a blade on one of the Cubs.

I am in C, not to worry. Mower deck still on for leaf detail. Besides I am retired and don't need to go anywhere! I can sit by the wood stove and watch.

Are you sure that blob is not lint? Unless you have a filter on your gas can, how can you know? I had similar debris on the pickup screen of a B&S engine on a lawn Mower and I just figured it was lint.

My son has a 1650 which I overhauled for him more than 5 years ago. It dose not vibrate like people say most of them do. It runs smoother than my 147. It has been a good tractor for him. Adapted a potato ***** from my Rototiller and that has worked great digging his potatoes. Sure beats digging them...

This is what someone did for a 48" deck. I have a 48" deck where those brackets you speak of were installed. The discharge side did not have a hole low enough so I added a piece with two more holes. The Photos are from a Cub site from 2002.

Charlie, my personal conclusion was there was not adequate surrounding material to support a full length bushing hence I went with an oversize shaft instead. But my being cautious about it does not mean that it can't be done and I was not about to bother with the added expense when a new shaft coul...

Has anyone installed a full length throttle shaft bushing in the #30 carburetor. I have two that I installed the repair bushing and now they are worn sloppy again. I got maybe 10 years use. Has anyone had the throttle shaft bore oversized and installed a full length bushing?

Well Charlie....looks like middle of the week noreaster #4 might drop some snow. Right you were. We got around 11" of wet stuff. The snow wanted to push ahead of the auger, then went through all at once. Found out the rpm was down on the 147 and the belt was not tight enough. After those adjustment...

Well Charlie....looks like middle of the week noreaster #4 might drop some snow. Was that sprocket hard to change? I thought that was welded to a small shaft....but just going from memory? How many tooth change are u talking? Good job! Only one tooth. I have not done the math to see how much it wil...

I am hoping for one good snow to test my QA42 thrower since I changed the auger speed. Instead of going the speed up sheave route I increased the sprocket size on the driver sprocket for the auger. That the auger is the only thing turning faster than before. Probably not the speed increase that the ...

On those lifts one tooth broken and your done. Surprised it broke a tooth with the clutch. Maybe it was set way too tight.

Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like your lift does not have the slip clutch and the result is the stripped gear. Not too bright of IH to use this lift unit without the clutch. I am speaking from experience as I stripped the one on my when I first purchased the 147. Learned of the slip clut...

Awaiting snow.
Replaced hydro gasket, repaired hydro slot, updated front coupler to Quiet Line style, increased drive sprocket by 1 tooth to speed up the auger a little.

Wow, what a shop! I have some of the things you mentioned, but not a torch. Would be nice to have a small one. We had one at work that I think was called a jeweler's torch. The bottles were only about 18" tall and just had a very small brazing torch and also had a torch tip for heating small round i...

Dave Kamp, If I knew the grief that pin would cause I would have put some weld on it and ground down as you said. I thought that pin was pressed into the rod and it would be a simple job just to replace it. After a couple of blows with a hammer the end taking the beating mushroomed. I did however se...

Well the 147 is finally back together. I had that pin brazed to the linkage. I did the famous trunion repair, hydro gasket, and drive shaft mod. Unfortunately I did not take a photo of the repair job on the trunion, but it turned out well.

No, not the same but most likely just as good or better. Millings are what you get when those huge grinders remove asphalt from a road to be resurfaced. There is just enough tar left that once rolled the summer heat takes over and pretty much makes a hard durable surface but not quite as good as a g...

Well Tom, I said that we were going to do something about the driveway and today we did. Three loads of Shure Pack in the main drive and one for mine. In the rain. Actually that was OK because we could tell how the water wants to run. Now we will finish off grading Monday and then with the tamper r...

Tom and Steve, both great ideas! Thanks.

Right, easy to replace parts need to be the expendable ones. Just imagine Cub has been serving well for 47 years. I am willing to bet many of today's Cubs will never see that.
